Abstract

In this research investigation, the researchers examine 1) demographic factors, advertising media exposure components, advertising media exposure behavior, and online clothing purchase decisions of consumers in Thailand; study 2) demographic factors, advertising media exposure components, and advertising media exposure behavior affecting online clothing purchase decisions of the consumers under study.


The sample population consisted of 400 Thai consumers aged twenty years and older who had prior experience purchasing clothing through online platforms. The purposive sampling technique was employed. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics (one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis).


Findings showed that the highest proportion of the consumers were females, aged from 26 to 35 years with a bachelor’s degree. They worked as company employees with an average income of 10,000-30,000 baht. They exhibited advertising media exposure behavior and online clothing purchase decisions at a high level. The differences in demographic factors affected the purchase decisions at the statistically significant level (p < 0.05). Those with higher education and with a higher income searched for information and made purchase decisions at a better level. Advertising media exposure decisions affected the purchase decisions, especially advertisements on Shopee, TikTok, and Facebook which stimulate the purchase decisions at the highest level. Advertising media exposure behavior affected the purchase decisions at the statistically significant level of 0.05.
