Abstract

With the development of the Internet, electronic shopping has been more and more popular in modern society. Online comments of consumers who purchase goods through e-commerce websites and other shopping websites often influence other consumers’ purchasing decisions, behaviors, evaluation of products and services. This report discusses and analyzes the influence of comments on consumers’ purchase intention from two aspects and draw two conclusions: first, the quality of online comments is positively correlated with consumers’ purchase intention; second, there is a moderating effect between social distance and different types of online comments. For enterprises, it is necessary to correctly understand the significance of online comments to consumers, attach importance to online comments, and pay attention to the collection and management of different content types of online comments.
