IV. LIMITATION OF STUDY
It is important to acknowledge several limitations that
may affect the generalisability of this study's findings. Firstly,
the sample size for this research was limited to 200
respondents, which may not be fully representative of the
broader population. While the sample was carefully selected
to representa range of demographics, caution should be taken
when applying the results to the wider population.Secondly,
this study was focused exclusively on Amazon customers,
and the findings may not be applicable to customers of other
online retailers. This limits the study's ability to draw broader
conclusions about consumer behaviour in the e-commerce
industry.
Finally, it is important to note that this study was
conducted during a specific period, and the resultsmay not be
generalisable to other time periods. The dynamic nature of
digital marketing and the ever-changing e-commerce
landscape may require further research to assess the long-
term validity of the findings.

V. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Numerous studies have examined the effects of digital
marketing on consumer behaviour, revealing the significant
impact it has on consumers. Chaffee and Ellis-Chadwick
(2019) found that personalised digital marketing techniques
have a powerful influence on consumer behaviour, with
consumers being more inclined to engage with companies
that use these techniques. Additionally, Laroche et al. (2019)
discovered that social media marketing is an effective way to
influence consumer behaviour.
Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, has
employed a range of digital marketing strategies, including
email marketing, social media marketing, and personalised
recommendations, to attract and retain customers. Mehta and
Dubey (2019) found that Amazon's personalised
recommendations have a significant impact on customer
purchase behaviour by improving the customer experience
and increasing the likelihood of repeat purchases. Similarly,
Kataria and Patel (2018) found that Amazon's email
marketing campaigns have a positive impact on customer
purchase behaviour by increasing awareness of new products
and promotions.

in developing effective digital marketing strategies that cater
to the evolving needs of customers and improve their overall
satisfaction levels.
