China is fast becoming one of the most important luxury goods market. The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of luxury purchasing behavior in the Chinese affluent market. Based on the logit analysis of 618 affluent respondents, the results show that social-adjustive motivation and life satisfaction are significantly associated with the purchasing of luxuries. However, the value-expressive motivation, which has been verified that could drive the consumer buy luxury items, does not have significant effect on luxury purchasing behavior for the Chinese affluent consumers. In the meantime, the demographic characteristics of individual are significantly associated with his/her luxury purchasing behavior, and the younger affluent consumers with higher income and international education are more likely to buy more luxuries. It helps researchers and companies to understand the differences of the factors influencing luxury consumption between Chinese consumers and their global peers.

Previous research on online consumer purchases has focused on increased purchases and neglected decreased purchases. However, factors impacting these purchases are different. Drawing on the two-factor theory, in this paper, the authors compare factors affecting increase and decrease in Chinese consumers’ online purchases. The authors conducted separate group analyses with PLS. The results show that consumers’ perception of service quality significantly affects increases in their online purchasing behavior, whereas their perception of website quality significantly affects decreases in online purchasing. These results show that e-tailers must not only focus on factors that promote online shopping but also those that deter consumers from making online purchases.

As an exploratory study on rural and urban consumers in an emerging market like China, this paper presents empirical evidence about the impacts of economic development on consumer lifestyles. Chinese rural and urban consumers were found to be statistically different in terms of their attitudes toward the whole marketing mix: product price, brand names, promotions and distribution. Possibly as a result of these disparate attitudes, rural and urban consumers were found to use different products to reflect the improvement of their living standards. All of these previous differences might be due to the fact that rural and urban Chinese consumers have different needs, as indicated by the words they chose to describe their ideal image. These lifestyle differences reveal huge marketing potentials for MNCs and other foreign investors, who will ultimately move into China's relatively untapped rural regions for marketing opportunities.
