Abstract
Social media makes it possible for consumers to easily share their shopping experiences with other consumers. These shares about brands are mostly about negative experiences rather than positive ones. Sharing these negative experiences on the internet directly affects the purchasing decisions of other consumers; therefore, they have become a major concern for brands. In order to mitigate the effects of NWOM shared on the internet, brands try to control the process by replying to these comments. This process, namely the management of negative comments online, is known as "webcare" in the world literature. Webcare focuses on the purpose of restoring or increasing customer satisfaction and limiting the potential harm that negative eWOM can have on other consumers. The desired outcome with this practice is that complaining customers stop spreading negative eWOM and start spreading positive WOM about the company.
This study focused on investigating the effect of 9 elements of webcare quality on positive word of mouth intention. Data were collected by electronic survey method. As a result of the research; It has been determined that ownership, coherence and personalization, which are the elements of webcare quality, have a positive effect on positive word of mouth marketing intention.
