How to Not Be Annoying

Don’t show people the same online ad too many times.

In a study, researchers found that users had a 39.6% chance of being annoyed by an ad after viewing it 3 times, which increased with more repetitions.

Users with demonstrated interest in the product (after visiting the website or searching for related products) had a little higher tolerance, however—only 3% were annoyed after 3 repetitions.

GIFs and videos were more likely to annoy users. Additionally, users that were wealthy, young, and educated had less tolerance.

Take a closer look at the research at Ariyh.
