What is web scraping
Using application programming interfaces (APIs) to collect data from the internet
Benefits of web data (3)
- Enormous size
- Publicly available
- Cheap to access
Addressing validity struggles of web data (2)
Addressing both technical and legal/ ethical concerns
Matrix of for types of data (4)
Data format: structured/ unstructured
Data Source: external/ internal
Big data (3)
- Volume
- Velocity
- Variety
The internet of things (IoT)
Physical objects that connect and exchange data with other devices through a network.
Benefits of web scraping (4)
- Study new phenomena: new areas of research and faster turnaround
- Ecological value: more controlled real-life data without external involvement
- Methodological advancement: new types of data, new ways to process them.
- Improving measurement: new or more detailed variables.
4 Dimensions of online customer experience
- Informativeness
- Entertainment
- Social presence
- Sensory appeal (stimulates sight and sound)
-> Ultimately impacting purchase decision
Multidimensional customer experience
It goes beyond these four dimensions
Moderators of online customer experience (2)
Product (search vs. experience)
Brand (trustworthiness)
Web design A/B testing
Comparing two versions to see which one works
Letting multiple ads run and see which one performs best
Multivariate testing
Tests multiple features at the same time
Useful for relative/ interaction effects
Full factorial design
Tests all possible combinations, useful to test for interactions
Multi-touch attribution (MTA)
- Consumers can have many (MTA) before making a purchase
- Touch points are very different and their efficiency is difficult to determine
First touch/ click
The purchase happens with the first contact.
Last touch/ click
The purchase happens with the last time they are in touch
Linear attribution
The probability of purchase is the same with every interaction.
Time decay attribution
The more touchpoints happened the higher the probability.
Macro-influencers: and high-arousal
-> Arousal for macro-influencers decreases engagement (monetary interests)
-> Informative goal for macro-influencers leads to more engagement; even more so when arousal is high (monetary interests are less apparent)
Use of high-arousal language by macro-influencers can lead to a decrease in engagement, it is perceived as being overly commercial and decreases trustworthiness. It is preferred to provide informative content rather than solely promoting.
Micro-influencers:
-> Arousal for micro-influencers increases engagement (genuine excitement)
Benefit from the use of high-arousal language (“its totally AMAZING”). IT contributes to a higher level of engagement from the audience. It provokes trustworthiness and authenticity. It is perceived as being more genuine, which in turn fosters a stronger connection and encourages more interaction with the content. This effect highlights the importance of perceived sincerity and enthusiasm in micro-influencer marketing strategies.
User-based framing: similarities among customers (increasing factors) (algorithmic recommender systems)
-> Works better when experience in a product is high.
-> When users are dissimilar
Framing recommendations as user-based can significantly increase recommendation click-through rates. Recommendation do not only match the product but also matches the tastes of similar customers.
