This article is pioneering for simultaneously addressing these three issues. The data is gathered using an online questionnaire distributed from April to May 2023. The analysis, including main component analysis and multiple linear regression models, was conducted using SPSS (version 21), AMOS (version 21), and STATA (version 14). The results indicate that age, level of education and the quality of digital content in the purchasing decision process are key elements in the use of digital platforms and sharing experiences. Companies that comprise the importance of these key elements can develop more effective marketing strategies, creating a positive online presence and cultivating lasting relationships with consumers.engDigital platformsConsumer behaviorDigital marketingBrand buildingBrand reputationSocial mediaconference paper10.1007/978-3-031-60328-0_5
