Welcome to the NerdBrand Podcast, and if you are a victim of ad fatigue, you are not alone. Listen as we dive into the effects it has on a brand image and what possible solutions are at hand. 

Why are ads doing this to me? Make them go away! 

Those in the Louisville area know exactly which ads were talking about and we couldn’t agree more. STOP, I don’t want to buy a car, I don’t want to purchase an engagement ring, etc. It can put a lot of pressure on you, the consumer. 

As wonderful as it is to have a targeted audience from a branding perspective, the receiving end can be overwhelming and can lead to these negative circumstances: 

• Loss of engagement that leads to decrease in followers
• At a standstill and no increase in growth 
• Wasted time and motivation on creator’s end 
• Negative brand perception

All these instances listed can gravely impact a brand’s image and can cause frustration from the creator’s end. 

How can improvements be made? 

Identifying your Goldilocks: What classifies as too little or too much content? 

Like Goldilocks, you want to identify your brand’s ‘Just Right’ when approaching social media strategy. 

You also want to consider: 

1. Diversify channels: Instead of relying solely on social media, brands can use other marketing channels, such as email marketing, content marketing, and influencer marketing, to reach their target audience.
2. Focus on quality over quantity: Brands can create high-quality content that provides value to their audience rather than overloading them with a mass volume of content.
3. Foster community: Brands can create a community on social media platforms by encouraging engagement and interaction with their followers.
4. Take breaks: Brands can take periodic breaks from social media to give their audience a hiatus from the constant unveiling of content.
5. Listen to feedback: Brands can listen to feedback from their audience and use it to improve their social media strategy.
6. Evaluate regularly: Brands can periodically evaluate the effectiveness of their social media strategy and make changes as needed. 

By adopting these strategies, it can help reduce social media fatigue and create a more positive and sustainable relationship with their target audience.

Fatigue is real in all different varieties. In social media content, it’s imperative to avoid making your consumer feel pressured. The key is to be present on social media, but simply do not go overboard or else your consumers will jump ship.
