To start with, information from 16 labs investigations revealed some details about online client encounters and recognize four measurements of consumer behavior— informativeness, entertainment, social presence, and sensory appeal —these are factors that influence sales.


The Second Factor was uncertainty about the offered product (because of its pursuit versus experience center) and sellers image (people tend to trust products they are familiar with) has some level of influence over the buyer. Using actual pages from Amazon shows that products linked with popular brands attract more customers.
