Interacting with a mobile commerce website selling pharmaceutical products
I
ndustries that are traditionally based on more conservative
business models like the pharmaceutical industry have to
adapt to new technologies such as online commerce, and
also mobile commerce, growing at an unexpected rate.
They need to adapt and develop their strategy to a more
online and mobile-based approach. This study investigates
the importance of online customer experience (OCE)
when marketing a pharmaceutical product online and its
effects on the behavioral intentions of website visitors. The
OCE approach is based on factors like flow, interactivity,
telepresence and gamification.
In the framework of this analysis, two different websites
with different level of flow, interactivity, telepresence and
gamification promoting the same product, have been created
inorder to analyze the different OCE visitors have experienced
and their linked behavioral intentions. One website was
designed to be image-based and text-based, thus static and
non-interactive, the other website was designed to provide
a compelling customer experience through interactive
features and a simulated product experience.
Our findings will discuss opportunities and challenges of OCE
for the pharmaceutical industry in the future to in order to?
(take the problemyou come fromto elaborate your sentence).
Themain objective of this research is to understand if website
visitors need a compelling customer experience when
shopping for eye drops in an online environment such as a
website. By gaining a better understanding of the perceived
OCE and its impacts on the visitors’ behavioral intentions,
pharmaceutical companies can adapt the way they market
their products accordingly. Specific Implications for theory
and practice are discussed.
As OCE is considered as a field of marketing research tackling
a topic of paramount importance, this study can contribute
to its exploration.
