Marketing Concept Based on Logistics in the Online Shopping Market in Japan

Norie Yokoi

Abstract—The ratio of e-commerce sales to total retail sales has been growing. Shoppers have numerous choices concerning brands and retail outlets, and outlets can be physical stores or online retailers. Store managers and staff come into contact with customers at physical stores, while for online stores, only third-party delivery service providers have direct contact with customers. This means that retailers miss opportunities to have contact with their online customers, leaving it to the third-party providers. Is this an appropriate shopper-marketing strategy? This study considers the importance of logistics—including delivery services, which is viewed as a mobile retail market—and determines the relationship between customers’ values and the efforts of logistics when customers shop online. This study considers how to create value based on the service-dominant logic (S-D logic) theory in online shopping marketing based on the logistics in Japan.

Index Terms—Distribution system, logistics, marketing, online shopping.
