Chapter Chapter 5 in Decoding Digital Consumer Behavior, 2024, pp 61-76 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores consumer expectations in the digital environment, emphasizing the significant role of cognitive processing in shaping these expectations. It delves into how consumers navigate through vast information online, formulating their expectations based on their perceptions, interpretations, and reactions. The discussion is structured around two primary cognitive processing approaches: shallow and deep processing, highlighting how each influences consumer behavior and decision-making in digital contexts. Shallow processing involves quick, surface-level engagement with digital content, where decisions are influenced by visual cues and emotional appeal. In contrast, deep processing entails a thorough, detailed analysis of information, emphasizing product quality, company reputation, and value. The chapter underscores the impact of environmental factors, such as social presence and website usability, on consumer motivation and information processing capabilities. Furthermore, the text offers strategies for businesses to influence consumer cognitive processing, including persuasion techniques, user experience optimization, and personalization. It points out the necessity for companies to adapt their approaches to align with consumers’ evolving expectations in the digital realm, ensuring satisfaction and fostering loyalty. By understanding and addressing these cognitive and environmental factors, companies can better meet consumer expectations, enhance the digital shopping experience, and achieve competitive advantage.
