Impact of Digitalisation on Online Impulsive Buying Behaviour

Consumer interactions, trends, and lifestyles have seen a notable shift due to the transformation in technology in connection to information & communication tools, digitalized media, and the Internet. Waheed & Jianhua (2018); Sun et al. (2019); Attaran et al. (2019). Consumer behaviour has a major influence on social networking sites, social apps, and online blogs because of extensive growth on Internet platforms. (Tiago & Verassimo, 2014).

The scenario has changed drastically in consumer behaviour towards impulsive online buying. The perspective of the consumer with respect to online shopping has been built by digitalization as variety, competitive prices, product range and many more are not only cost-effective but profitable. (Bayo-Moriones & Lera-Lopez, 2007). Contemporary platforms have also transformed online buying intention as the product information is easily available. (Tiago & Verassimo, 2014; El-Gohary, 2012; Waheed & Yang (2018); Waheed & Jianhua (2018).

A comparison between online and offline shopping highlights the differences with respect to product information collection by consumers, perceived benefit, perceived risk, and comparison of products on a different platform. Sarkar & Das (2017). A customer does not have to move from a brick-and-mortar store to another, favourable conditions are all accommodated in online buying with the initiation of technology. Eroglu et al. (2001). These all conditions lead to impulsive buying.

The existing studies reveal that the focus of researchers was primarily on antecedents of impulsive online buying behaviour and when stimuli are exposed to customers the result comes in favour of online impulsive buying. Mehrabian & Russell (1974); Piron (1991). With the advancement of digitalization, today e-commerce companies have worked tremendously on websites which becomes one of the stimuli in putting impact on customers for impulsive online buying. Visual appeal, website security, navigations, ease of use, and other factors have been worked on to create website stimuli. All these attributes of website stimuli could have been possible through technology.

Online impulsive buying is not restricted to website stimulus only but also efforts in marketing by organizations are recognized by researchers in different studies. Heavy discounts and promotions are some factors which are playing a crucial role in Marketing stimuli. Iyer et al. (2020). The propensity for online shopping is increasing rapidly among customers all across the globe. Therefore, the marketers must concentrate on marketing strategies to find out the perceived benefit of online shopping and how the customer is influenced by these strategies in correspondence to his/her shopping values. Other than websites and marketing stimuli, the next trigger is the emotions of customers. He may find pleasure as a stimulus to go online shopping. His emotions play an important role in triggering him/her for online impulsive buying behaviour. Liu et al. (2020)

Whether it is website stimuli or marketing or emotions, all are acting as a mediator between customers and products to build a strong customer relationship. Ghose & Dou (1998). Considering the impact of the above-mentioned factors, hence it becomes of vital importance to examine further the online impulsive buying behavior of consumers Sharma (2020).

Digitalization and Consumer Decision Making in Impulsive Buying

In the entire scenario of digitalization, the major aspect is changing consumer behaviour and it is well understood that consumer buying behaviour and pattern have a great influence on the decision-making. There are many research questions that emerge in the mind of researchers about consumer online buying behaviour and decision making. How impulsively the product is available with variety and comparison has led to change in consumer decision making. Prepurchase information search is very crucial in consumer decision making and when it comes to online shopping, digitization makes it convenient for customers to search on the same. Identification of a set of products and further subsets is greatly made easy by e-commerce companies through digitalization.

The behaviour of the consumer indicates the activities which are involved in obtaining the products /services, therefore advertising messages on digital platforms have influence on his/her decision making creating a desire to purchase the product advertised Wertenbroch et al. (2020). This desire acts as a customer’s choice and his/her level of gratification to a product, which is significant fact and is constantly paid attention to by marketers to exist in the competition. Era of digitalization has seen that this fact becomes crucial to be well taken by the marketer Choudhury & Gulati (2020)

Marketer is well aware that understanding consumer decision-making helps in solving the market planning problems in situation of highly growing dissemination of products offerings that are digital and spreading across customers Solomon et al. (2013); Blackwell et al. (2002); Schiffman & Kanuk (1997). All steps of consumer decision making process are important whether offline or online but the crucial point is to strategies and uncover the consumer decision making process through the influence of digitalization.

In the era of digitalization, consumer is acting more on feelings and impulses, this has led to his different thinking and behaviour while making decision about product. Technological development and ease of purchase has made him to act in more impulsive way be it rational or not.

A compulsion to buy has been noticed by many researchers in their studies where variety attracts customer in click and mortar stores. The customer senses the product at that very moment and move to next if not convinced. Therefore, marketers are required to expand drives and increase the scope to target audience.

The emotional lack of control can be seen in impulse buying which is created by struggle amongst the instant recompense and also the undesirable effects that the buying would instigate that can activate enduring and pathological compulsive behaviour. Pandya & Pandya (2020).

Therefore, there is need and justification to study the digitalization and its effect on online impulsive buying behaviour of consumer.
