Abstract
The emerging area of e-commerce encounters a substantial hurdle in its insufficient comprehension of the significance of consumer behavior and efficient marketing methods. Although internet commerce has grown rapidly, there is still a significant lack of awareness about how consumer behavior greatly affects purchasing decisions and the accompanying marketing strategies. This study aims to increase understanding among businesses and stakeholders regarding the pivotal importance of customer behavior in creating marketing strategies, particularly in the digital domain. Moreover, the study seeks to furnish practitioners and academics with cutting-edge methodologies for scrutinizing consumer behavior and adjusting marketing strategies in the realm of electronic commerce. The study aims to help firms in the competitive e-commerce sector by sharing knowledge and practical insights, enabling them to optimize their marketing efforts and achieve success. The study employed a quantitative methodology to investigate the relationship between consumer behavior and marketing methods. The sample consisted of 109 people who were selected to reflect a wide range of demographic backgrounds. The regression study reveals that variables such as online purchase frequency, social media participation, perceived convenience of e-commerce platforms, trust in online reviews, and adoption of new technologies have a substantial influence on customer behavior in e-commerce. These findings offer tips to businesses on how to improve their marketing strategy and take advantage of the numerous opportunities afforded by digital platforms to engage with consumers and achieve commercial success. Businesses are advised to focus on strategies that increase the frequency of online purchases and utilize social media to improve consumer involvement and brand communication.
