Digital Marketing and Consumer Behavior in Electronic Goods: Evidence from the Vidarbha Region
Abstract
This study investigates the influence of digital marketing on consumer behaviour and purchasing patterns of electronic goods in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, India.With the rapid expansion of e-commerce and digital communication platforms into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, analysing region-specific consumer responses has become increasingly important for strategic marketing and policy formulation.The research is based on primary survey data collected from consumers in Akola and Amravati districts, supplemented by secondary market and technology adoption trends relevant to the region.The study evaluates consumer awareness, satisfaction levels, key purchase determinants, and the relative effectiveness of various digital marketing channels.The findings reveal that digital marketing plays a significant role in shaping consumer purchase intentions, information search behaviour, and brand preferences in the regional electronics market.However, structural challenges such as digital literacy gaps, connectivity limitations, and trust concerns continue to influence adoption patterns.The paper provides statistical analysis, tabular representations of regional data, and practical implications for businesses targeting emerging semi-urban markets.
