Brief overview of the (academic)

marketing concerns like the declining
demand of customers, as well as, shifting
customers with respect to another brand. It
is found that bulks of the customer were
moving towards other corporation because

RO1: To explore the conceptual understanding regarding
digital media marketing and consumer buying behavior
Petit Velasco and Spence (2019) stated that digital media
is termed as the technology of computer that enables the
research scholar to share their opinion, perception on
certain issue and researcher could also share individual’s
personal data among a large number of customers. In
contrast to this, Ibrahim Wang and Bourne (2017)
evaluated that purchasing behavior of customers is
referred as the decision, attitude, purposes, and
preferences which are made by customers in the
marketplace prior to purchase good or service of the
organization.
RO2: To address the impact of digital media marketing
on consumer buying behavior: A case study of Tesco, UK
As per the view of Donnelly (2015), the company focuses
on some amount of person who has a high extent of
reliability in particular trades because it can naturally
influence the consumer buying decision. On the other
side, Ramanathan et al. (2017) stated that consumer
behavior is dynamic as well as, enlarging in the age of
digital environment.
RO3: To recommend the strategies for applying digital
media marketing in persuading the consumer buying
behavior: A case study of Tesco, UK
According to Alnawas and Aburub (2016), the company
should offer reliable data about the brand to potential
consumers due to distributing logical information about
the products as well as, services. In contrast to this, the
company should enhance brand awareness among a large
number of consumers through the application of
demonstrating a message among a large number of
customers.
Literature gap
