Abstract

This research aimed to 1) examine demographic factors, advertising exposure components, advertising media exposure behavior, and online clothing purchase decisions among consumers in Thailand, and 2) investigate the demographic factors, advertising exposure components, and advertising media exposure behavior that influence online clothing purchase decisions. The sample consisted of 400 Thai consumers aged 20 years and older who had prior experience purchasing clothing through online platforms. A purposive sampling method was employed. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one-way analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis).


The results revealed that most respondents were female, aged 26–35 years, held a bachelor's degree, worked as company employees, and had an average monthly income between 10,001 and 30,000 baht. They exhibited high levels of advertising media exposure and online clothing purchase behavior. Differences in demographic factors significantly affected purchase decisions (p < 0.05), with consumers possessing higher education and income levels being more likely to seek information and make purchase decisions. The components of advertising exposure influenced purchase decisions, particularly advertisements on Shopee, TikTok, and Facebook, which most strongly stimulated purchasing behavior. Furthermore, advertising media exposure behavior significantly affected purchase decisions at the 0.05 statistical level.
