Additionally, the report underscores the critical role of relevance and personalization in consumer engagement, with 54% of respondents highlighting the importance of offering relevance and personalization as the key reason they open email messages from marketers.

Marketing fatigue occurs when consumers become overwhelmed, disinterested, or irritated by the volume or repetitive marketing messages they receive from brands. It happens when consumers feel inundated with non-personalized promotional content, leading to reduced engagement, decreased brand loyalty, and even a negative perception of the brand. Marketing fatigue can result from excessive email campaigns, repetitive advertisements, or an overabundance of non-personalized promotional offers, causing consumers to tune out or unsubscribe from marketing communications.

“Consumers are becoming increasingly selective about the marketing messages they receive, and brands must adapt accordingly. Consumers expect timely, relevant messages that help them during their shopping journey,” said Pini Yakuel, CEO at Optimove. “Our latest report provides proven actions for brands to address marketing fatigue effectively and enhance customer engagement.”
