The results demonstrate that: product distribution deviation imposes a significant negative impact on product sales, but brand can weaken the negative impact; product ratings and reviews number strength the negative effect of product distribution deviation on sales; brand strength has a positive interaction effect with the valence of reviews in terms of their effect on sales .
