Having said that, specific topics such as pop-up retail (Lunardo & Mouangue, 2019;Spitzkat & Fuentes, 2019), shopping cart abandonment (Huang, Korfiatis & Chang, 2018), selling cues (Das, Mukherjee & Smith, 2018;Yu, Hudders & Cauberghe, 2018), ambient scents (Girard, Lichters, Sarstedt & Biswas, 2019) as well as the use of chatbots and robots in marketing activities (Chung, Ko, Joung & Kim, 2018;Kim, Schmitt & Thalmann, 2019;Murphy, Gretzel & Pesonen, 2019;Mende, Scott, van Doorn, Grewal & Shanks, 2019) are as important because these are what organizations and customers are experiencing today.…”
