In order to achieve the goal of the research, a qualitative approach using interviews with experts was applied to identify the dimensions of international digital marketing success in the carpet industry; Then, the importance and priority of each of the identified dimensions and indices are determined using the quantitative method of Shannon entropy analysis. The research sampling method is purposeful (judgmental).
