1. The influence of demographic variables on impulse buying intention
a. Females over 41 years old are more likely to intend to impulse buy, perhaps because they
have a permanent salary and would like to spend money on themselves. Education, occupation
and income do not make a difference to impulse buying intention.
b. Promotions have an effect on female consumers. University students are more likely to be affected by
this, female consumers in tertiary industries have a stronger tendency to be affected by manufacturers’ promotions
than public officials, and business managers are more likely to be affected by budget, because more money may
lead to more impulse buying.
2. Impulse buying intention is significantly and positively influenced by factors affecting impulse buying
Female consumers’ buying intention is easily affected by advertising, displays of goods, atmosphere,
promotions and sales. In addition, female impulse buying intention can increase because of the performance of
salespeople and recommendations from other customers. Therefore, factors affecting impulse buying have a
significantly positive effect on impulse buying intention.
3. Impulse buying behavior is significantly and positively affected by characteristic impulsivity
When highly impulsive female consumers have more money, their impulse buying intention becomes
stronger. Highly impulsive female consumers are not affected by promotions; they buy impulsively when they
have enough money.
