Abstract

The demand for video streaming-based services (VSS) has increased immensely due to their comprehensive content, instant playback, flexibility to watch, and affordable costs. People have access to entertainment with a simple click at their convenience which wasn't possible on traditional television platforms. With companies ready to wrestle for a more significant market chunk, focusing only on price strategies might be a deficient perspective for the future. By enhancing e-service quality, a company can make its loyal base of customers leading to profitability. This study focuses on the quality of e-services relevant to VSS with its satisfactory and repurchasing impact on the client. Responses come from a questionnaire designed and distributed among Indian consumers using video streaming services. SPSS technique is used for result formulation. Implications for marketing managers and the scope for future research are proposed.
