过度营销

• Pinyin: guò dù yíng xiāo
• Hanzi breakdown: 过度营销 is read as a fixed modern phrase; its literal parts point toward over-marketing that makes people tired or suspicious.

Meaning

Over-marketing that makes people tired or suspicious.

Use it when promotion overwhelms the actual product, celebrity, show, or event. Use it in casual conversation with a concrete scene, because the tone can change quickly if it sounds like a blanket judgment.

Examples

1. 新品还没开卖，广告已经刷满首页，评论里有人说“过度营销”。 The new product wasn’t even on sale yet, but ads were already flooding the homepage, so people in the comments said it was “over-marketing.”
2. 朋友提到过度营销，重点是先说明场景。 When a friend mentions 过度营销, the key is to explain the context first.
3. 别乱扣过度营销，具体原因要讲清楚。 Don’t just call it 过度营销 without reason; explain the specific cause clearly.
