Abstract
In recent years, in the advent of global internet availability and almost equally omnipresent mobile device usage, online user behavior together with the resulting experience has been changing and evolving at a significant pace. Users do not only spend more time online, they consult online resources and seek information for various goals and are motivated by a variety of needs: those intent-driven actions are dispersed throughout the day (or night) and integrated within their daily activities. The user behavior is determined by specific micro-moments which are truly the moments of consumer needs and therefore the moments the marketers need to be a part of. Furthermore, mobile devices and smartphones in particular, possess the ability to promptly meet the immediate needs of their users thus shaping new opportunities for marketers to capture and utilize. In order to have a better understanding of online user intention and behavioral patterns, the paper provides an insight of recent studies of user micro-moments within the digital environment. The main goal of this paper is to provide an overview of recent academic and professional papers on the changes in online user experience and behavior and suggest the theoretical background for further research. Mobile devices can directly influence user behavior and emotional states by addressing a wide variety of information needs. The implications of these findings are important as they empower the possibilities of direct marketing in the digital era.
