Maximize Expected Profits by Dynamic After-Sales Service Investment Strategy Based on Word-of-Mouth Marketing in Social Network Shopping

This paper discusses how word-of-mouth marketing affects the profits of product sales in social network-based shopping under good after-sales service. First, a new word-of-mouth communication model based on silent evaluation, positive evaluation, and negative evaluation is proposed. Second, we use t...
