Online shopping satisfaction hinges on two major factors: “fairness and security.” Customers want fair pricing, transparent processes, and respectful treatment—what researchers call distributive, procedural, and interactional “justice.” When customers feel valued and protected, they’re more satisfied and less likely to complain. Data security, especially, is a critical factor, as shoppers look for “secure transactions and safe handling of personal information”. Positive experiences lead to word-of-mouth recommendations, while negative ones often result in complaints that can harm a brand’s reputation. For eCommerce, “making fairness and security a top priority is essential for customer loyalty and avoiding the complaining behaviour”. These elements build lasting relationships and promotes a strong, competitive presence in the digital market.

Our goal was to understand the effectiveness of a company in attracting its customer targets. To do this, we have developed a model that links a company’s marketing activities to the mix of customers who buy from the company. Most marketing models simply ask how a company’s marketing activities influence the number of customers who buy the brand. We wondered how a company’s marketing activities influence the types of customers who buy the brand.
