We contacted Matt Johnson, PhD, a marketing psychology specialist with expertise in consumer psychology and serendipity.
He clarified the dangers of excessive advertising and offered advice on how we can all avoid going over budget on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when there are a lot of offers to be found. His interview with Bored Panda may be seen here!
Johnson was questioned on the possible negative effects of excessive advertising as well as the point at which it becomes problematic for businesses.
There are “significant drawbacks” to excessive advertising, he said, particularly during the “high-stakes holiday season.”
Repetition may raise brand recognition, but excessive exposure can cause ad fatigue, which makes users feel overloaded or irritated.
In addition to making the advertisements less successful, this might harm the brand’s reputation by giving the impression that it is insincere or desperate.
Marketing psychology specialist Johnson emailed Bored Panda, saying, “From a consumer psychology perspective, excessive advertising may trigger psychological reactance—a natural resistance to perceived pressure—which makes consumers less likely to engage with the brand.”
“Additionally, oversaturating ad channels can dilute the impact of individual messages, causing them to blend into the noise of competing advertisements.”
