Recommendations for future direction include:
Expanding on samples, exploring a more diverse age-range to identify how attitudes to DM may have evolved over time.
Explore how perceptions to channels have evolved from the perspective of marketing experts, uncovering why some channels are chosen over others.
Investigate the phenomenons of digitisation and DM relevance amongst consumer behaviours on a regular basis to improve finding credibility and insights.
