Online consumer reviews, as an essential part of the online shopping process, have become a vital way for merchants to obtain user feedback and gain insights into market demands. The research employs Python tools (Jupyter Notebook 7.0.8) to analyze the 14,078 pieces of review text data from the top four best-selling products in a certain product category on a certain cross-border e-commerce platform. By applying social network analysis, constructing LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) topic models, and establishing LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) sentiment classification models, the topics and sentiment distribution of the review set are obtained, and the evolution trends of topics and sentiments are analyzed according to different periods. The research finds that in the overall review set, consumers\u2019 focus is concentrated on five aspects: functional features, quality and cost-effectiveness, usage effectiveness, post-purchase support, and design and assembly. In terms of changes in review sentiments, the negative proportion of the topics of functional features and usage effects is still relatively high. Given the above, this study integrates the 4P and 4C theories to propose strategies for enhancing the marketing capabilities of cross-border e-commerce in the context of digital cross-border operations, providing theoretical and practical marketing insights for cross-border e-commerce enterprises.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer20020125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]],"date-time":"2025-06-02T03:19:38Z","timestamp":1748834378000},"page":"125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Text Mining for Consumers\u2019 Sentiment Tendency and Strategies for Promoting Cross-Border E-Commerce Marketing Using Consumers\u2019 Online Review Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Changting","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"},{"name":"Merchants\u2019 Guild Economics and Cultural Intelligent Computing Laboratory, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"},{"name":"Merchants\u2019 Guild Economics and Cultural Intelligent Computing Laboratory, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Pu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Fathy, E.A., Salem, I.E., Zidan, H.A.Y., and Abdien, M.K.
