ANALYSIS OF THE ONLINE PURCHASE BEHAVIOUR OF ROMANIANS

n recent decades, technological development has experienced significant acceleration, and smart devices are now widely available. Romanian e-commerce market, although ahead of countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy or Bulgaria, has still a long way to go before reaching its full potential. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the online shopping behaviour of Romanians. For this, we analyzed statistic data on internet access and online purchases and discussed the findings of an online purchase behaviour survey of 580 Romanian respondents. The main findings of the survey suggest that, while 64 percent of respondents prefer online shopping to the classic non-virtual shopping, the top three risks that worry potential online Romanian buyers are: fake online reviews, uncertain quality of goods, and unreliable match. 5G technologies, ultra-fast smart devices, lack of borders in online commerce are already present, so the future belongs to those who will know how to adapt and anticipate the needs of online shoppers

AN EXPERIMENT ON USING ONLINE MARKETING TOOLS FOR PROMOTING HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES

In this study we intended, in the first place, to analyse and determine if the online environment represents an efficient environment for promoting educational services offered by higher education institutions in Romania. Another major objective of this paper is to describe a context in which online marketing tools like Facebook and Google AdWords could contribute to promote higher education services in the online environment. In order to achieve the goal, a causal research based on experiment was designed and implemented. The type of the experiment is 'before-after with control group', design. For conducting the experiment, after developing the landing page, two advertising campaigns were designed: one of them through the tools offered by Facebook and the other one by using Google AdWords. The test units considered are two masters of the faculty of economics (one master is the experimental unit and the other is for control). The independent variable is the extent to which the masters are promoted in the online environment and the dependent variable is the number of students enrolled in the two masters during the admission period. Based on the results from this experiment, but also on data of other studies, we consider that the best results in designing online promotion campaigns for higher education institutions - when considering the tools involved in this experiment - are obtained when they are used as complementary tools. According with our observations, Google AdWords has more potential for attracting prospective students on the landing pages containing information dedicated to them, but Facebook’s features can be successfully used in particular for creating and developing relationships with potential students so that they will subsequently want to become students of that institution

Exploring Marketing Insights for Healthcare: Trends and Perspectives Based on Literature Investigation

We aim to quantify the scientific interest in the field of healthcare marketing and to extract aspects that will contribute to a better understanding of the trends that characterize the specific vision of this topic. The research involves a bibliometric analysis, and the conduct of the study is based on the investigation of the academic literature from the Scopus and PubMed databases based on the PRISMA methodology. The study investigates 1077 papers published between 2000 and 2022. According to our study, the most productive countries in the field of healthcare marketing academic publications are the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. As research themes, the study revealed that customer/patient satisfaction, medical tourism, social marketing, and hospital-related marketing topics are highlighted based on cluster analysis of authors keywords. We also discuss the significant lack of research to clarify the use of the concepts such as patient/client/customer in healthcare marketing and to understand the role of prevention services as essential in sustainable healthcare
