Certain terms implied under the Sale of Goods Acts 1893 and 1979 replicated by the United Kingdom Consumer Rights Act 2015 foster consumer rights. The paper explores the extent to which the Nigeria Sale of Goods Act 1893 and UK Sale of Goods Act 1979 are fit to address the implied terms for digital content. Since the term “goods” does not cover digital content, buyers of digital content are not protected by the implied terms contained in the Sale of Goods Acts. This paper comparatively considers consumer protection regimes in the United Kingdom and Nigeria in relation to implied terms in supply of goods, services and digital content under the new Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2019 respectively. The paper finds that consumers of goods, services and digital content are much more protected under the implied terms of the Consumer Rights Act. Whilst the improvement in the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act in enlisting consumer rights is commendable, a major deficit is exclusion of digital content implied terms. It is recommended that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act should be amended to reflect and accommodate the provisions on implied terms relating to digital content.

The theory of Sensory Marketing has been developed as a special approach to help managers understand customers through creating multi-sensory experiences. In medical services, a patient's multi-sensory experience with a medical facility will shape each customer's different perception of service quality. The article evaluates the role of multi-sensory experience in customers’ perceived service quality at public hospitals in Vietnam. Research results have shown that tactile, olfactory, visual and taste stimuli have a significant influence on the perceived service quality of customers when experiencing medical services. Besides, the authors also detected that customer’s expectation and satisfaction have a proportional relationship. Discussions and recommendations on the application of sensory marketing to improve people's perception of the medical service quality have been proposed to enhance the brand image of Vietnam's public hospitals as well as to ensure the interests of the customer during the use of the service.

To design a suitable marketing strategy to keep existing customers and for attracting new ones, commercial banks need to identify the criteria on which customers determine their bank choice decision. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the significance of bank selection criteria and how customers rank the factors based on their importance level to prioritize banks and banking services. It also intends to present an analysis of gender differences on the relative importance of choice criteria in respect of selecting a bank and to bring about the opinion of customers on any extra services needed to be offered by banks. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are used, Based on responses given by 201 customers in Addis Ababa city from different occupations (students, employees, and businessmen), is employed in the analysis. A non-probability convenience sampling was also used. The finding from this study reveals that there are two most important bank selection criteria for customers are "convenience" and "service provision" for the entire customers while it is "bank's image" is the second most important factor for male customers. On the other hand, the least two important factors of bank selection for customers are "financial benefits/ technology", "reputation" and "promotion strategy" and "attractiveness” for female customers. Finally, it is recommended that hierarchical information integration is a potentially useful method for bank managers to study complex decision-making problems such as bank choice.
