<p>In a competitive e-commerce environment, where product cues shape consumer decisions, understanding gender differences in response to these cues offers important insights for improving marketing effectiveness. Considering gender differences is potentially important, as men and women may differ systematically in their attention to specific product information, influencing how effectively product cues drive search and selection behaviors. Drawing on 800 real transaction records from TikTok Shop, this study investigates how product cues in titles (i.e., category, brand, sensory attribute, and experiential attribute) influence product exposure, how cues in cover images (i.e., brand, attribute, and facial) affect click behavior, and whether gender differences moderate the use of these cues in product search and selection.

摘要

In a competitive e-commerce environment, where product cues shape consumer decisions, understanding gender differences in response to these cues offers important insights for improving marketing effectiveness. Considering gender differences is potentially important, as men and women may differ systematically in their attention to specific product information, influencing how effectively product cues drive search and selection behaviors. Drawing on 800 real transaction records from TikTok Shop, this study investigates how product cues in titles (i.e., category, brand, sensory attribute, and experiential attribute) influence product exposure, how cues in cover images (i.e., brand, attribute, and facial) affect click behavior, and whether gender differences moderate the use of these cues in product search and selection. Results show that category, brand, and experiential attribute cues in titles significantly boost exposure, with brand and experiential attribute cues more effective among female consumers. Similarly, brand, attribute, and facial cues in cover images increase clicks, with women responding more strongly to brand and facial cues. These findings offer practical insights for retailers seeking to optimize product presentation based on gender-specific preferences.
