Understanding Online Decision-Making, AI Influence & Algorithmic Marketing in the Age of E-Commerce. Seeing the modern buyer through the mirror of desire in a world shaped by algorithms.

A Practical, Research-Grounded Guide to Predicting and Influencing Today’s Digital Consumer
Behind every “buy now,” a hidden mechanism is at work. Understand how digital environments subtly shape the choices your customers think are their own.
Digital Consumer Behavior Essentials is an insightful guide to how consumers think, feel, and decide in the age of platforms, personalization, and data. It connects classic consumer behavior theories with today’s algorithmic reality, giving marketing and product teams a clear framework to understand and influence online decisions responsibly.
Key topics covered in the book:

Digital decision-making process
Explore how the digital consumer decision-making process really works, —and how many “choices” are guided by interfaces, nudges, and algorithmic design.
Classic consumer behavior theories through the digital lens
Revisit core theories like the Consumer Decision-Making Model, Technology Acceptance Model, Prospect Theory, Uses and Gratifications, and Network Externalities through a digital lens.
AI, datafication, and personalization
Learn how data collection, profiling, recommender systems, and predictive analytics shape what consumers see, desire, and ultimately choose.
Platforms and social media ecosystems
Understand how e-commerce, social commerce, digital communities, and influencer ecosystems compete for attention, trust, and loyalty.
Persuasion tactics and ethical marketing strategies
Examine scarcity tactics, engagement loops, and behavioral design—then shift towards ethical nudging, autonomy, and long-term consumer trust.

Blending academic rigor with practical examples, this book offers quizzes, ethical frameworks, and cases from IKEA, Booking.com, and more. It is especially suited for career-switchers, marketing managers, product owners, growth and performance marketers, and consumer insight analysts.
If you want to see the modern buyer “through the mirror of desire” and design digital journeys that are both effective and responsible, Digital Consumer Behavior Essentials provides a comprehensive and structured starting point.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
