  • This study aims to compare the effects of e-cart recommendation and homepage recommendation in the field of entertainment products on the basis of a field experiment involving almost 13000 consumers supported by one of the leading digital reading platforms in China. The results indicate that e-cart recommendations have a significant positive impact on consumer downloads in comparison with homepage recommendations. Moreover, this positive effect decreases when the alternatives in the e-cart are of a larger quantity but increases when consumers are more active. Interestingly, this study also finds that e-cart recommendations can spill over to other products, leading to more downloads of non-recommended items. Our findings provide novel insights into consumer responses to e-cart recommendations of entertainment products for researchers and managers alike.
    The effects of e-cart recommendation of entertainment products on consumer responses. All hypotheses are supported.

    • This study explores the effects of e-cart recommendation on consumer responses in the field of entertainment products.
    • For entertainment products, e-cart recommendation has a positive impact on consumer responses relative to homepage recommendation.
    • The positive effect of e-cart recommendation declines when the cart is of more products.
    • The positive effect of e-cart recommendation increases when the recommended products are offered to more active consumers.
