Introduction

Internet is changing the way consumers shop and buy goods and services and has rapidly evolved into a global phenomenon. Many companies have started using the internet to cut marketing costs, thereby reducing the price of their products and services to communicate and disseminate information, to sell the products, to take feedback, and also to conduct satisfaction surveys with consumers. Consumers use the internet not only to buy the product online but also to compare prices, product features, and after-sales service facilities they will receive if they purchase the product from a particular store. Many experts are optimistic about the prospects of online business.

Literature review

Adrita Goswami et. al (2013). Studied “Customer Satisfaction towards Online Shopping with Special Reference to Teenage Group of Jorhat Town” study concludes that online customers are satisfied. This research explicitly indicates that online marketer should give more importance on price factor and after sale factor. In this competition era all the online marketers should have to concentrate on the customer’s satisfaction to retain the existing customers and have to offer new scheme day by day to attract the new customers.

Chen (2009) in his dissertation entitled “Online consumer behavior: an empirical study based on theory of planned behavior “extends theory of planned behavior (TPB) by including ten important antecedents as external beliefs to online consumer behavior. The results of data analysis confirm perceived ease of use (PEOU) and trust are essential antecedents in determining online consumer behavior through behavioral attitude and perceived behavioral control. The findings also indicate that cost reduction helps the consumer create positive attitude toward purchase. Further, the findings show the effects of two

constructs of flow –concentration and telepresence, on consumers’ attitude. Concentration is positively related to attitude toward purchase, but telepresence likely decreases attitude due to the consumers’ possible nervousness or concern about uncertainty in the online environment.
