Book Online Impulse Buying and Cognitive Dissonance

Download or read book Online Impulse Buying and Cognitive Dissonance written by Giovanni Mattia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers’ beliefs and attitudes towards online sales significantly influence buying behavior on the internet. However, the impact of these thoughts and beliefs on the decision to make an online purchase is not direct. It can be moderated by the emotions experienced while browsing an e-commerce website. Impulse buying in particular is influenced by a number of factors, for example how stimulating the e-shopping platform is, and how easy it is to click on the cart a certain product, for instance a smartphone. But what happens after an online impulse buy is made? Often the customer can regret the purchase and in the throes of anxiety, look for reasons to justify the choices made. Consumer behaviour scholars and pyschologists call this phenomenon cognitive dissonance, and certain individuals are more sensitive than others in developing this than others. This book offers a deep investigation around online impulse buying and subsequent cognitive dissonance. Specifically, the authors present a research case study of a group of millenials who are shopping for smartphones to study whether an initial positive state can reduce the onset of cognitive dissonance in consumers. Based on substantial research and a sample of 212 impulsive millennial buyers, the book provides a comprehensive, but simple and synthetic framework of impulse buying, cognitive dissonance and positive affect state, highlighting their relationships.

Book Consumer Behaviour  Online video services and perceived risk

Download or read book Consumer Behaviour Online video services and perceived risk written by Christina Liessem and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 70%, Queen Mary University of London (Business School), course: Understanding Consumer Behaviour, language: English, abstract: “Rollout of HD VOD and Internet movies on day-and-date of DVD release is a growth opportunity not only because consumers value them and will pay more, but also because this expanded availability will increase overall movie viewership. The Oliver Wyman study found that that these enhanced offers would lead U.S. consumers to watch and pay for an average of three more movies per year than they do today, creating a net annual increase in domestic consumer movie spending of more than $5 billion, from the current base of $50 billion.” As this study of the management consultancy Oliver Wyman reveals, online video services such as VOD and PPV gain an increasing importance nowadays. These trends towards online video services (OVS) invite to a closer examination of the consumer behaviour regarding these services. This essay focuses on consumer behaviour of the consumption of OVS, such as iTunes Movies and CinemaNow. In particular the aspect of perceived risk will be examined, because these products can only be consumed online, an environment where the perceived risk is still high and a possible barrier for the usage of OVS.

Book excerpt: Chapter 3How to evaluate online sale method is more acceptable to sell the product.⦁Explaining what situation makes the individual consumer doesn't accept to use internet technology sale channel to buy the product as well as it why internet will cause negative purchase emotion to any consumer to choose to buy any manufacturer's products .⦁AbstractThe third aspect solution, I shall explain why the electronic commerce sale channel in technology acceptance model, it is possible that why it can influence the consumer's positive emotion to be changed to be negative emotion to choose not to buy the manufacturer's product . Moreover, I shall teach manufacturer whether how to judge it ought or does not ought choose this technology model to sell its products from internet channel.⦁Main Problem Being AddressedThe third aspect main problem is researched why internet sale will have what bad factors to influence consumers to cause negative emotion to decide not to buy manufacturers' products from online shopping. I shall recommend how to predict their products whether which are suitable to sell from internet and how to improve their sale methods to increase consumer's positive emotion to accept to buy their products from internet. The final discussion is judged in what situation it will cause individual consumer doesn't like to enter the manufacturer's website to choose to buy the manufacturer's products. I shall also indicate why the manufacturer will cause negative emotion to whose consumers if who chose online sale channel. I aim to teach manufacturer how to know whether whose products ought or not ought to be chose to sell from online sale channel as well as how to reduce to cause bad influence to consumers' emotion from whose websites to avoid online sale failure chance. I shall use internet surveys to gather information to detect whether what factors influence the consumer choose prefer to buy or not to prefer buy the manufacturer's products from internet as well as how manufacturers can predict consumer's emotion in the constructive consumer choice process before who choose online shopping. Hence, if the manufacturer could predict whether what weaknesses are existed to reduce whose website attraction to whose consumers' attention. It will avoid whose online sale failure. The benefits to manufacturer include who can predict what weaknesses of whose website are, then who can attempt to revise which aspects of whose website weaknesses in order to raise whose consumers' positive emotion when who uses internet to enter the sale website to find any kinds of products to buy them. If the manufacturer's website can raise attraction ability to increase many customers to see whose website. Then, whose customer numbers will be increased possibly. Online sale influence research can only apply to manufacturers who sell their products from their website sale channel.⦁Related Background of internet sale channelNowadays, many young people like to choose to use internet to buy any manufacturer's products. Although internet is popular to accept to young to use to buy any products, but it will have chance to cause negative emotion to individual consumers from positive emotion due to they enter any manufacturer's website to find some bad points to influence their feeling to be bad. Finally, the consumers will not choose to buy the manufacturer's products due to the manufacturer does not know what the bad points are existed to whose website. Thus, I believe that internet won't be accepted to be the best sale channel to adopt to use to sell to any manufacturers' products effectively, even internet sale channel will cause some consumers negative emotion to influence who choose not to buy the manufacturer's products if the product's manufacturer chooses internet to help who to advertise whose this product to sell from internet sale channel.
