RECOMMENDATIONS:

The factors that affect digital marketing in the decision-making process must be taken into account in
the review of the themes in the report. Initially, businesses must understand the consumer profile and behaviour
of online marketers. Such customers access a range of attributes, and their customer behavior has developed
into virtual, a new lifestyle for customers –particularly the current generations – who are capable of making
decisions that require more knowledge on the subject. Consumers have simpler, more convenient reach to
digital so now they decide which channels they want to communicate on. Therefore, companies need to
consider and coordinate their marketing posts with customers through digital and conventional marketing
platforms, the various knowledge sources that customers use.

The very next suggestion is that businesses consider how the cycle of customer decision-making
influenced digital marketing. During the problem recognition phase, businesses must market and place their
products as problem solvers to the demands of consumers because consumers have easy access to the digital
environment. Digital content must draw the customer’s attention. The customer is willing to make the purchase
in the buying decision stage. Businesses must ensure that the consumer purchases, online or
in-store, are carried out smoothly. The product must be available and the check-out process must provide the
customer with a friendly experience.

The final step – the decision after the order – helps an organisation to turn a client into a committed customer
and into a brand ambassador. Consumer care is an integral aspect of this. Businesses need to build strategies for
customer retention, by addressing customer grievances, two-way contact and market re-targeting.

The very last business suggestion is the progressing customer thought process. Impact of the virtual world,
customers may decide to purchase a product before visiting a 164 retail store, thereby mitigating the effect on
the customer to purchase. In principle, companies have to develop strategies that reach consumers at times
when their decisions are most influential

CONCLUSION:

Consumers have incorporated online channels socialisation methods and understand the secret to
marketing effectiveness in customer behaviour. Interactions with human beings have changed considerably
because of the inclusion of social networks and the development of online media has encouraged the shift of
human behaviour. According to Stokes (2011), the Internet gives consumers more options, access and power
across a digital network. Today, consumers see shopping as a regular occurrence due to internet connectivity
and electronic sales of consumer products (Powers et al. 2012). Researchers’ quotes fit the literature on the
effect of digital media on customer behaviour.

Online advertising has given customers a different way of interacting with the brand of a company and
has helped to transform behaviour as customers now go to digital space to keep up with trends, to access
knowledge and to get the most current brand updates. It was already shown that consumers are part of online
media consumption. Online networking allows consumers to connect in one direction with retail firms which is
a step away from the standard contact marketing network for buyers. Smith(2009) notes that engaging target
customers plays a role in building up brand advocates by buying the brand or transferring the brand to other
consumers through online or off-line media. The interviewee said there is an internal principle called the 'last
mile' in their company, i.e. that an organisation was marketed by a customer who buys a product online.

In general, the analysis indicates that digital marketing is in line with the literary review for this study
and has an impact on consumer behaviour. The findings of the study were consistent with the literature review
and the literature. In short, consumers have an integrated understanding of digital marketing, a wide range of
features and digital commercialization affects consumer behaviour. Nevertheless, the literary review showed
these elements as new features, such as following patterns and finding social knowledge. A psychologist to
procure customers should work as a successful consumer oriented market service provider.
Consumer buying behaviour is the path to business success. The area of customer behaviour teaches us
how people, organisations, programs, ideas or experiences should fulfil their requirements and programs. Till
the consumer behaviour is recognized, a logical and systematic relationship between industry and consumers
can not be established and those organisations or companies are successful in adjusting their objectives,
methods and structure on the basis of their customers and consumers being more and more recognized.
For the target population, cause related marketing has been found to be an effective marketing and
communication strategy which might lead to positive results when implemented with consideration of various
influencing factors, which has been found to impact the performance of the campaign.
