Çevrimiçi Promosyonların Tüketicilerin Planlı Satın Alma Davranışlarına ve Satın Alma Sonrası Memnuniyetlerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, çevrimiçi promosyonların tüketicilerin planlı satın alma davranışlarına ve satın alma sonrası memnuniyetlerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Türkiye’de en yüksek sosyal medya skoruna sahip 15 alışveriş sitesini (çevrimiçi perakendeciler) Facebook ve Instagram’da takip eden tüketiciler oluşturmaktadır. Nicel yöntemin kullanıldığı araştırmada, veriler 532 tüketiciden çevrimiçi anketler yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (AMOS 24.0) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, çevrimiçi promosyonları takibin tüketicilerin planlı satın alma davranışları üzerinde pozitif bir etki oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir. Buna ek olarak, çevrimiçi promosyonların tüketicilerin alışveriş deneyimleri konusundaki memnuniyetlerini pozitif etkilediği saptanmıştır. Dahası, planlı satın alma davranışı, tüketicilerin çevrimiçi alışveriş deneyiminden memnuniyetlerini pozitif etkilemektedir. Araştırmada ulaşılan sonuçlar, çevrimiçi perakendecilerin çevrimiçi promosyonları tüketicileri cezbetme ve tüketici memnuniyetini artırmada etkin bir şekilde kullandıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sonuç, çevrimiçi promosyonların, bir pazarlama stratejisi olarak kâr amacı güden kuruluşlar için işlevsel olabileceğini göstermektedir.
