CONCLUSION
The research found out that country-of-origin strongest predictor towards international brand preference. This
is re-affirmed with the previous study conducted by Heimbach, Johansson, and MacLachlan (1989) which
indicated that country-of-origin has the strongest influence on consumer purchasing decision towards
international brand of fashion products. Consumers will not look further to another factor if country-of-origin
is not suitable. Furthermore, based on the findings in this study, quality is also considered as one of the strong
impact on consumer preferences towards an international brand of product with β=0. 253. Reason being,
quality is the product reliability that offers greater satisfaction for the consumers. The promotion is also
another important factor that will influence consumer preferences on buying international brand of fashion
products based on the findings of this research.
Although this research has clearly identified the factors that influencing consumer preferences in choosing
international fashion products, however, this study performed only in the Malaysia context and without direct
cross-cultural comparisons, it is difficult to determine the differential factors that may affect the quality of
purchasing behavior of international brand product. Besides, the data in this study were gathered from one just
one district in Malaysia. So, the future research needs to be conducted in different districts to know more about
consumer profile. In the future, similar study should increase the sample size to a wider population because
200 respondents is not sufficient to generalize reliable results and fails to generalize the whole international
brand preferences on fashion product.
