BBK Study: CyberDay and Trust in Online Shopping
This BBK study analyzes consumer trust in remote shopping experiences, with a special focus on CyberDay events in Chile. The survey was conducted with 1,055 participants between June 15 and June 26, 2024, aiming to understand how people perceive ease of use, confidence, customer service, and post-sale experiences in digital commerce.
In a context where online purchases have become part of everyday life, trust is no longer optional—it is a decisive factor for conversion, loyalty, and brand reputation.
Key Research Questions
Remote Shopping Experience
Participants were asked to evaluate their general experience with online and remote purchases, addressing questions such as:
- How easy or difficult is it for you to purchase products or services remotely?
- How much trust do online shopping experiences generate for you overall?
- To what extent do you agree with the following statement?
“When I have problems with remote purchases, the company is able to resolve the issue satisfactorily through customer service.”
These questions aim to assess not only usability but also perceived reliability and effectiveness of customer support—two pillars of digital trust.
CyberDay-Specific Perceptions
The study also explored perceptions related specifically to CyberDay events, one of the most relevant e-commerce moments in Chile:
Trust in Offers and Coordination
Participants evaluated the following statements:
- “Offers during events such as CyberDay are real and valuable.”
- “During events like CyberDay, channels are well coordinated to deliver an optimal service.”
These insights help identify whether promotional intensity is supported by operational consistency across channels.
Post-Sales Experience After CyberDay Purchases
Post-sale experience is often the true test of trust. The survey asked participants how easy they find the following actions after purchasing during CyberDay:
- Making a return or exchange
- Tracking a request or customer service claim
Ease in post-sale processes is a critical driver of long-term trust, especially in high-volume events where service pressure increases significantly.
Why This Study Matters
The BBK CyberDay study highlights a fundamental truth of digital commerce: trust is built not only before the purchase, but—most critically—after it. Promotional campaigns, UX design, and pricing strategies must be supported by effective service resolution, omnichannel coordination, and transparent post-sale processes.
Brands that succeed in these moments are the ones that convert CyberDay traffic into long-term customer relationships.
