ABSTRACT This research investigates the marketing strategies employed by Flipkart and their impact on consumer behaviour in India. As one of the country's leading e-commerce platforms, Flipkart has leveraged digital marketing, competitive pricing, promotional campaigns, and strategic partnerships to build consumer trust and influence purchase behaviour. This study explores how these strategies have helped Flipkart retain a dominant position in the market and affect customer perceptions, loyalty, and buying decisions. In recent years, the Indian e-commerce landscape has evolved rapidly, driven by technological advancements, mobile penetration, and growing digital literacy. Flipkart's ability to adapt to these changes through aggressive marketing, targeted segmentation, influencer partnerships, and AI-powered personalization tools has been instrumental in its growth. The research examines various facets of Flipkart's marketing mix, evaluates the efficacy of its advertising techniques, and assesses customer feedback on service satisfaction. Using a descriptive research methodology, data were collected through structured surveys from 150 respondents and supported by a comprehensive review of academic and industry literature. Quantitative analysis reveals key insights into consumer engagement, trust-building mechanisms, and promotional campaign effectiveness. The findings suggest that Flipkart’s aggressive digital approach, including the Big Billion Days sale and user-centric advertising, significantly influences consumer trust, engagement, and purchase frequency. Recommendations include increased female-oriented campaigns, enhanced delivery systems, and a possible hybrid offline-online model to strengthen consumer confidence further.

Enhancing Marketing of Library Services and Resources through AI Tools in Tanzania’s Academic Libraries

Rationale of Study - This study used a qualitative research design to explore the digital marketing prospects and challenges of integrating AI tools in library marketing in academic libraries in Tanzania. Methodology – Data was collected from fourteen purposively selected librarians from seven university libraries in the Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Kilimanjaro regions. Findings – Findings revealed that most libraries have embarked on marketing their services and resources through social media pages, preferably Instagram and Facebook, while maintaining a webpage linked to the institutional website to provide links to electronic resources, schedules for library training, and other educational posts. Most librarians interviewed identified content generation to keep the library’s social media pages and websites updated with engaging posts and articles as the most daunting challenge. Through literature, it has emerged that librarians could leverage ChatGPT as a content-generation tool for posts, images, and captions. At the same time, chatbots and voice assistants could be utilised to provide services to users around the clock while raising awareness of library services through personalised recommendations and resource discovery. The challenges to integrating AI into library marketing that emerged during the study include the absence of well-articulated AI use policies among these institutions, financial constraints, education and training gaps, lack of institutional support, and librarians’ attitudes. Implications – Therefore, the study recommends continuing professional education on emerging technologies, changing attitudes among librarians, and incorporating library marketing initiatives into library policies and strategic plans to garner financial and institutional support. Originality – This study contributes to the underexplored domain of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in marketing library services and resources, particularly within Tanzania’s academic libraries. The findings highlight unique contextual challenges and opportunities, advancing theoretical and practical insights into AI-driven marketing strategies in academic library settings.

The research hypotheses were tested using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) based on 462 domestic tourists recently engaged in glamping activities.FindingsThe results revealed that eco-brands, eco-labels, and environmental advertisements significantly influenced tourists' attitudes towards glamping. However, attitudes alone did not significantly impact revisit intention. Instead, perceived behavioral control was the strongest predictor of revisit intention, while subjective norms had no significant effect.Practical implicationsThe study offers valuable insights for glamping operators and marketers, emphasizing the need to leverage eco-brands, eco-labels, and environmental advertisements to shape positive tourist attitudes. Glamping managers should focus on strategies that increase tourists' perceived behavioral control, fostering confidence in their ability to engage in eco-friendly practices.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the limited body of research on the intersection of green marketing and glamping tourism, offering a novel exploration of how green marketing tools influence tourists' planned behavior within a niche tourism sector.

Influence of short video content on consumers purchase intentions on social media platforms with trust as a mediator

Short videos on social media platforms have boomed with the rapid growth of the video consumption industry and have become an important marketing tool for businesses. With the rise of platforms such as TikTok or Douyin, short videos have profoundly impacted consumer behavior, making it crucial to understand their role in shaping consumer purchase intention. However, there is still a need for further research on how short video content promotes consumer purchase intent. Based on the Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) model, this study constructs a structural model to explore the impact of short video content on consumer purchase intention, focusing on the mediating role of consumer trust. The model incorporates usefulness, ease of use, and entertainment as external stimuli, consumer trust as internal psychological responses, and purchase intention as the final behavioral outcome. This study collected 372 valid data from Chinese consumers through an online questionnaire and empirically analyzed it using structural equation modeling. The study results show that short-form video content’s usefulness, ease of use, and entertainment significantly affect consumers’ trust and purchase intention. Moreover, consumer trust positively affects purchase intention and mediates the relationship between short video content and purchase behavior. This research extends the application of the SOR model to the context of social media short videos, highlighting the crucial role of consumer trust in shaping consumer purchase decisions. Based on these findings, we propose actionable strategies for businesses to optimize short video content and build consumer trust, ultimately enhancing marketing effectiveness and driving consumer purchases.

Configuration Path Analysis of the Virtual Influencer’s Marketing Effectiveness

As an emerging marketing tool, virtual influencers (VIs) have attracted increasing scholarly attention. However, existing research predominantly adopts linear causal analysis models, which fail to capture the complex, nonlinear interaction between consumers and VIs. Grounded in the 5W communication model and utilizing a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), this study systematically explores how different configurational paths influence consumer engagement, drawing on empirical data from 205 participants. The findings reveal that (1) the synergy of entertainment, information, and credibility is a core prerequisite for achieving high engagement; (2) two equivalent paths—namely, the technology-driven path (media richness + content synergy) and the cognition-driven path (technology acceptance + content synergy)—lead to high engagement, both with a solution consistency of 0.98; and (3) the joint absence of content, media richness, and audience cognition results in low engagement. Theoretically, this study challenges traditional linear approaches by validating causal asymmetry and revealing configurational interdependencies among communication elements. It also extends the Media Richness Theory (MRT) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) into the context of virtual influencer (VI) marketing. Practically, the proposed dynamic configuration model offers marketers a novel framework for optimizing VI campaigns through resource-adaptive strategies.

Impact of Digital Marketing Tools on Consumer Behavior in Nepal

This research investigates the impact of digital marketing on e-commerce businesses in Nepal, focusing on how digital marketing tools influence consumer behavior and business performance. As internet usage grows, businesses increasingly use strategies like social media, email marketing, and search engine optimisation to engage consumers and enhance online sales. Data were collected from 246 respondents across Nepal using the convenience sampling method through structured questionnaires and analyzed using a descriptive research design. The findings indicate that digital marketing plays a significant role in increasing the frequency of online purchases and improving customer satisfaction. Consumers who interact with digital advertisements, particularly through social media and search engines, report greater satisfaction and are more likely to engage in repeat purchases. Additionally, access to detailed product information and reviews enhances the appeal of e-commerce platforms. Despite these positive effects, challenges such as mistrust in online payment systems and a preference for traditional in-person shopping still limit the broader adoption of e-commerce in Nepal. The study concludes that while digital marketing effectively drives engagement and sales, businesses must address these barriers to realize the full potential of the e-commerce market. Personalized digital marketing strategies and efforts to build trust in online platforms are recommended.
