accuracy, ease, and correctness of the businesses
that provided these online sales.
Even though before the pandemic time a
majority of consumers had been reluctant to order
online for many reasons. From consumer responses,
we found that the most common products in online
orders during the pandemic were food, clothing, and
technology.
Through this research, we realized that the trust
in consumers in online ordering is greater than
before the time of the pandemic because it was a
dose of distrust thinking that most businesses that
operate online are fake or do not exist at all, and
their purpose the only one is consumer fraud.
5.1 Recommendations for Future Research
From the research we concluded that every
business must have E-Marketing to function
regardless of the circumstances we may be in, as
was the case with the Pandemic.
Businesses need to invest more to gain the trust
of consumers.
The online ordering process should be very
easy to use by consumers regardless of their age
and level of education.
To create other forms of information for
consumers who do not use social networks
(information portals, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
Stress the value of localizing and culturally
sensitive e-marketing methods to the specific
cultural quirks and preferences of your target
audience. Assist companies in making
investments in consumer-friendly localized
language, visuals, and content. To effectively
engage with the target audience and improve
customer satisfaction, emphasize how important
it is to understand local cultures, festivals, and
traditions.
Urge companies to focus on mobile
optimization when it comes to their e-marketing
initiatives, such as creating mobile-friendly
content, flexible websites, and focused mobile
advertising.
It is recommended that companies look to
enhance their e-commerce platforms by adding
features like safe payment methods, expedited
checkout procedures, and customized product
suggestions. To keep ahead of the competition
and satisfy consumers' changing needs, we
propose investigating new e-commerce trends
like voice and social commerce.
In a market where competition is fierce,
emphasize the value of developing solid
customer relationships. To efficiently track
customer contacts, obtain feedback, and
personalize communications, firms should be
encouraged to invest in strong Customer
Relationship Management systems. Suggest the
use of email marketing campaigns, customer
feedback systems, and loyalty programs to
improve customer satisfaction, build rapport,
and promote repeat business.
Encourage companies to place a high priority on
protecting consumer data by adhering to
applicable laws, putting strong cybersecurity
measures in place, and following open data
handling procedures. Stress how crucial it is to
earn customers' trust by protecting their data and
honoring their need for privacy.
