International Journal of Internet Marketing and Advertising
Special Issue on: “Experimental Research in e-Marketing”
Guest Editors: David R. Fortin, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
Paul W. Ballantine, University of Auckland, New Zealand
Several studies in the field of e-marketing have relied on survey research or limited observations of consumer/user/viewer behaviour to draw limited conclusions in non-controlled environments. The purpose of this special issue is to uncover research studies where conditions of exposure have been manipulated under the strict requirements of the experimental method, using either lab settings or active online sites and storefronts.
Authors are encouraged to submit empirical manuscripts that use the experimental method to either test existing theories or assist in theory building in the broad area of electronic marketing. Interdisciplinary research is also encouraged.
Subject CoverageAny topic that addresses the impact of advertising, marketing, communication or interface design in e-marketing settings is appropriate for this special issue, with particular emphasis placed on empirical research, using the experimental method. Suggested topics may include but are not limited to:
- Product placement and/or sponsorships within web environments
- Factors affecting the effectiveness of online auctions
- Tracking of advertising effectiveness by format, design and/or locationv
- Transfer of effective reach and frequency levels in an online environment
- Effects of levels of interactivity and vividness of an advertisement
- Impact of search agents on the final buying decision
- Consumer buying experience with retail settings online (decision process, purchase experience)
- Consumer perception of web interfaces, across segments and cultures
- Consumer responses to legal and ethical issues surrounding security and privacy
