Öz

Dijital teknolojilerin gelişmesiyle birlikte dijital pazarlama araçları gelişmiş ve çeşitlenmiştir. Dijital pazarlamanın yaygınlaşması ve dijital pazarlama araçlarının gelişmesi, tüketicilerin fiziksel olarak satın almış oldukları ürünlerden o ürünlerin dijital versiyonlarından faydalanmaya başlamasına doğru evrilmesine neden olmuştur. Bu durum tüketicilerin dijital pazarlama araçları kullanma yetkiliğinin işletmeler bakımından ne denli önemli olmaya başladığını göstermiştir. Bu nedenle tüketicilerin dijital pazarlama araçları kullanma becerilerinin doğru bir şekilde algılanması ve bu becerilerin geliştirilmesinde noktasında işletmeler bakımından yeni dijital pazarlama stratejilerinin geliştirmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Araştırmada tüketicilerin dijital pazarlama araçları kullanma yetkiliğinin dijital ürün algıları üzerine etkisi ölçülerek, işletmeler bakımından yeni dijital pazarlama stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi bakımından yapılması gerekenler anlatılacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı dijital tüketicilerin pazarlama araçları kullanım yetkinliklerinin ölçülerek, tüketicilerin dijital ürün algılarını geliştirme noktasında işletmeler bakımından yapılması gerekenlerin neler olduğunun anlatılması amaçlanmaktadır.
