Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, online sales have increased by 480% very quickly, but the number of online shops in the Indonesian online market has decreased. 13 markets disappeared from the Indonesian online market, both the Indonesian market and foreign markets located in the Indonesian online market. Indonesian online market, this is a big question mark, why is that? In the face of fierce online competition and an abundance of online offerings for goods and services, it is relatively simple for online marketers to conduct online marketing in the hopes of increasing online sales. It is very easy for online marketers to carry out online marketing to maximize online sales with the hope that the market will always be the customer's first choice amidst intense online competition and excessive online product or service offerings. The media makes E-marketing exposure not in accordance with the expectations of online customers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence online shopping regret by measuring the effect of online attitudes on prices, online impulsive behavior and product attitudes resulting from continuous online marketing. This study uses a structural equation model to test the hypothesized relationships. The non-probability sampling approach and the purposive sampling method were used to sample the population of this study, which included 182 respondents who had made online transactions in Indonesia. Quantitative multiple regression analysis was used as an analytical tool used to test hypotheses. Based on the results of this study, exposure to e-marketing convenience products has the greatest influence on attitudes towards online products, followed by Attitude toward prices Online, and has the smallest effect on online impulsive behavior.

KEY WORDS
Online shopping purchase, attitude, impulsive behavior online, e-marketing exposure.
Initial observation results obtained 235 generation Z who made purchases of daily necessities products online for the last 6 months with a frequency of purchases having purchased daily necessities products online 3 times and had experienced online purchase disappointment, but only 182 generations Z fulfilled the criteria for purchasing daily necessities online, observations were made at online stores in online markets in Indonesia. Generation Z 182 online purchase transactions are only concentrated in a few online stores. This makes the writer interested in researching.
Various conveniences from advances in information technology have really succeeded in pushing online marketing into competition business stricter than offline marketing for both
small industries such as MSMEs and large ones. The growth of online shop entrepreneurs, both carried out by new entrepreneurs in the 4.0 era and offline entrepreneurs then changed their business to online by taking advantage of the various facilities offered by online marketing, these conditions encouraged increasingly fierce competition from online shop entrepreneurs in the online market in Indonesia. The degree of online store rivalry is increasing for her startup in Indonesia, which is one of the nations with the greatest proportion of startups worldwide. According to Startup Ranking data as of June 14 2023, there are 2,482 startups in the country. This number places Indonesia in sixth place in the world, beating Germany and France (https://www.startupranking.com, 2023). This demonstrates the rapid expansion of online stores in Indonesia, which has increased competition both in terms of the number of online stores and between them, as well as the emergence of a number of applications for marketplaces, e-commerce, and marketing that can be used to promote goods or services via the internet.
The ease of making advertisements and online promotions and the tight competition of online shops is one of the reasons that many online advertisements and online promotions in conveying messages to customers are always exaggerated; this is referred to as E-marketing exposure. In addition, the pressure to achieve target sales online that has been determined by an online shop is also one of the causes of E-marketing exposure. Various kinds of complaints that arise as a result of online transactions can be caused by various reasons, it can be from the customer who is not careful in choosing a product, it can also come from the entrepreneur, such as excessive marketing communications. All of which result in regret due to online purchases, the main weakness of online purchases is not being able to see and feel the product directly only through videos or photos, then see online shop ratings and positive and negative reviews in the selected e-WOM online shop.
In order to develop a concept of business strategy, this study aims to quantify the impact of factors such as E-Marketing Exposure, Attitude Towards Product Online, Impulsive Behaviour Online, and Attitude Towards Price Online on customers' regret at online shopping purchases in the Indonesian online market.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Regret from several purchases, particularly post-purchase behaviour, is a factor that customers should not consider. Purchase regret can directly lead to consumer disloyalty, leading to fundamental changes in consumer buying decision behavior. Consumers frequently regret their online purchases, according to prior research (Bhakat and Muruganantham, 2013). Numerous factors, including trouble contacting online merchants and susceptibility to unexpected products, might cause changes in online shopping behaviour and regret (Sarwar et al., 2019). A negative emotional state related with feeling unhappy with a behaviour that was engaged in—in this case, the buying decision—regret is a word that is fairly broad. The concept of regret which is quite broad is a negative emotional state associated with feeling disappointed with a behavior that was carried out, in this case the purchase decision. These negative feelings stem from a person's choice to make a random purchase. Consumers make impulsive purchases since the online market is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Given that there was no prior buying plan, this behaviour frequently creates regret. Several studies continue to empirically examine the relationship between regret and other negative emotions. Jayasimha and Srivastava (2017) explain the difference between regret and disappointment in post-purchase decisions. Jayasimha and Srivastava (2017) found that the two consumer defenses related to disappointment are negative regret but positive disappointment. In contrast, Mattila and Ro (2008) argue that frustration, disappointment and regret which are classified as one emotion can lead to the same response behavior. Parks and Mountains, 2018; Tseng, 2017 focuses on how to reduce the intensity of post-decision regret. In an experimental study of the e-satisfaction of regretful online travelers, Tseng (2017) argues that strong seller evaluations justify consumers' online decisions and, in addition, effectively reduce consumers' post-purchase cognitive dissonance.
The striking difference between offline and online marketing is the ease of delivering products or services to consumers or customers, which encourages business people to compete with each other to win the target market. According to Lubis et al., 2022, this was said. The goal of this action was to leverage internet media to make other marketing efforts and the distribution of products easier (Lubis et al., 2022). Jaman (2012) also made this statement. Electronic marketing, which can be done anywhere and at any time, leverages internet media as a platform to make it simpler for company people to adapt to the target market and lower transaction costs. E-marketing is essentially marketing that makes use of advances in information technology (Xie et al., 2017). The carelessness of e-commerce entrepreneurs stems from the basic fact that consumers and customers cannot choose products directly, but only through content in the form of images or videos that appear in online advertisements and campaigns. Differences in goods and services received by consumers and customers cause negative feelings which are called negative emotions according to Lubis et al., 2022. This is because someone chooses to make purchases that are made randomly or forced to buy. done because there is no other way. Online shopping regret is regret in many online stores, especially in the post-purchase behavior section (Lubis et al., 2022), which should not happen to consumers. Purchase regret can directly lead to consumer disloyalty, leading to fundamental changes in customer buying decision behavior. Previous studies have shown that consumers tend to regret online purchases (Bhakat and Muruganantham, 2013). A negative emotional state that expresses dissatisfaction with the behaviour engaged in, in this case the purchasing decision, regret is a notion that is extremely broad (Lubis et al., 2022).
The change in behavioral aspects through a variety of online marketing media channels, learning and affective processes from existing customer behaviour must continue to be developed in order for Internet marketing to advance (Hollebeek and Macky, 2019). Consumers' e-marketing information awareness and preferences develop before they have the confidence to make online purchasing decisions. The rapid growth of online marketing encourages the rise of strong cognitive or affective consumers who are susceptible to acting impulsively when under pressure from outside forces, such as time constraints or laws (Alloway et al., 2016; Rajagopal, 2020). Benefits These changes drive powerful changes in consumers' cognitive or affective learning processes, such as attitudes toward impulsive online behavior, attitudes toward online products, and attitudes toward prices.
Grigsby, J.L., Jewell, R. D. and Campbell, C. (2017) argue that impulsive purchases can reduce post-purchase regret, which increases customer satisfaction. When customers recall a time when they made a shortsighted choice, they are more satisfied with the customer's recent decision to make an impulse purchase. Market visibility communicates message and value to target market in addition to raising awareness of the product and its price. The goal is to increase consumer desire for the product using a variety of marketing initiatives. Marketers therefore focus on both planned and irrational behaviours, such as impulsive buying. Although previous research has concluded that impulsive buying behavior is influenced by many factors, product or store stimulation is considered as one of the important factors influencing impulsive buying (Miao et al., 2019). Marketers typically employ marketing tactics to gradually raise consumer awareness and buy intent (Mead et al., 2020). However, current technologies that place a focus on content in e-marketing can promote impulse buying even more (Naeem, 2020).
Consumer attitudes towards online products, to analyze the consumer decision making process for the selected product and its impact based on the characteristics of brands/online shops and the characteristics of online consumers. Central to this model is the belief that consumers go through a decision-making process, the complexity of which depends on the nature of the consumer's decision, and that this process is affected by a number of possible variables at various stages. Consumer perceptions of the usefulness of online products are different from traditional products. The enormous volume of e-marketing activity that introduces products to the target market through advertising or sales promotion has a significant impact on consumer cognitive learning and also encourages effective promotion of the qualities of the products that consumers choose to purchase. Product attributes are
anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy a want or need, tradable products include physical goods, services, locations, organizations and ideas (Kotler and Keller 2017). Product features are product features or characteristics that consumers like or hate about those features.
In this study framework, Lubisat al., 2022 is cited. This study examines how dissatisfied consumers are with their online purchases in the Indonesian market.
Figure 1 - Research Framework METHODS OF RESEARCH
Customers who offer convenience goods on Indonesia's online market make up the study's demographic and sample. Purposive sampling is the non-probability sampling methodology that was employed in this investigation, according to Sugiyono (2018). The sample size of Generation Z is 159 respondents.
