Abstract

Thanks to the digital technologies that have developed in recent years, new concepts have started to enter our lives with the spread of information and the effect of globalization. Concepts such as digitalization, innovation, change and transformation have become the new trends of business and social life, while social habits and consumption practices have started to build on them. The marketing discipline, which has been reshaped by the digital revolution, offers new markets and unlimited opportunities to companies, while bringing consumers together with personalized experiences in a broad perspective. In this direction, the study aims to determine the effects of e-commerce, the new business model of the digital age and marketing, on consumers and their satisfaction perceptions. In this context, a survey was conducted on 386 consumers in Siirt province using descriptive and correlational research method. In addition, the resulting data were tested with frequency distributions, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model, which is an inferential statistical test. When the findings obtained from the application are evaluated, it is concluded that when we look at the general average of the participants' attitudes towards shopping activities through e-commerce sites, it is concluded that they care about contributing to the national economy, they prefer to make more than one purchase in products with discounts such as discounts, promotions, gift vouchers, installments, etc. in the products they need, and they generally have a positive attitude towards the affordable policy. In addition, in the results regarding whether there is a relationship between customer satisfaction perceptions and demographic characteristics of the participants in their shopping experiences through e-commerce sites, it can be said that they are generally positively affected and their satisfaction levels are high.
