We conducted a comprehensive study involving 230 individuals randomly selected from various regions across the United States. Our focus was to analyze consumer behavior regarding marketing emails, specifically examining the perceived value they derive from such communications. Additionally, we delved into the reasons behind marketing message fatigue, the decision to disengage from brands when the frequency of emails becomes excessively high.
The results of our research indicate that consumers generally appreciate marketing emails due to the valuable information they provide, including details about promotions, discounts, and new product releases. However, when the frequency of these emails surpasses a certain threshold, consumers begin to experience feelings of marketing message fatigue.
Once consumers reach their limit, they may choose to disassociate from the brand entirely. This can manifest in various ways, such as unsubscribing from the mailing list, marking as spam, or simply deleting emails without reading. Such actions can have a negative impact on the brand's reputation and hinder future opportunities for return on investment with each disengaged contact.
To maintain a healthy relationship with subscribers, it is crucial for brands to strike a balance between providing valuable information and respecting the wishes of their audience. By adhering to best practices, brands can effectively retain customer engagement while minimizing churn risk.
