Online impulsive buying behavior has grown in accordance with the advancement of e-commerce operations. However, despite the fact that numerous published studies have investigated some variables that influence online impulse purchase behavior, the involvement of promotional stimuli for broad diversification of products within a short period along with hedonic motivation being the moderator, as applied in e-commerce’ marketing campaign activities in Indonesia, in influencing impulsive buying behavior remains unexplored. This study, using PLS-SEM statistical method and judgemental sampling technique, is advantageous to address the influence of those marketing stimuli in generating impulsive buying behavior. A quantitative method was applied in this study, using an online questionnaire targeted at online shoppers all across Indonesia. Based on the analysis, it is found that time scarcity promotion is positively influencing online impulsive buying behavior, with or without the role of high hedonic motivation as the moderator. On the other hand, a price promotion attribute’s positive impact on online impulsive buying behavior is accepted as long as it does not involve the hedonic motivation as a moderator. The results of the research are intended to provide a better understanding of marketing stimuli in the research industry and practical recommendations to online merchants on how to promote their products more effectively to generate overall sales through impulsive purchases.

This study was aimed to understand and assess the role of store environment, impulsive buying personality traits, impulsive buying tendency, and urge to buy on impulsive buying. Data was collected from 250 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling technique, findings suggested that impulse buying was positively associated with impulse buying tendency, impulsively personality trait and urge to buy. The most important finding of the study is the insignificant effect of store environment on consumers that are instinctive buyers. The study also suggests that impulsive traits of the consumer directly lead to impulse buying. It actually don’t need some drive such as store environment that would stimulate their impulse buying tendency. However, this study didn’t find any effect of demographic variables (gender and income) on impulse buying tendency. The overall store environment has insignificant effect on consumer impulse purchase but different attributes such as cleanliness and arrangement of product has relative impact on impulse buying that’s why the retailers should focus on store environment elements such as crowd, sales employee, entertainment, lighting, aroma and display etc. to stimulate impulse buying. This study confirmed the role of personality in encouraging impulse buying at retail outlets. Marketers should identify ways to reach out open ended and extrovert people to target their promotional offers.

The growing number of premium outlets in Malaysia has led to a new shopping experience for both local and international tourists. Associated with the concept of ‘everyday discount’, premium outlets would attract more consumers to purchase at the outlets. Previous studies have revealed the significant influence of sales promotion on consumer purchase behaviour as well as impulse buying behaviour. However, there are limited studies identifying the role of sales promotion on impulse buying behaviour in the perspective of international and local tourists. Moreover, previous research of literature on the premium outlets, especially in Malaysia is still lacking. Therefore this study aims to evaluate the role of sales promotion on impulse buying in the perspective of international and local tourists at premium outlets in Malaysia. Data were collected from 359 tourists at five premium outlets in Malaysia, using a self-administered questionnaire. The result of the study indicates that both groups have different preferences in terms of sales promotion that induced them to make an impulse purchase. This study suggests that retailers or marketers should improvise their pricing strategies and give out more samples and gifts to attract tourists to spend more money.

Fast food vendors use a sensory cue to trigger impulsive buying behaviour. Though impulse buying has gained interestamong researchers, little has been done concerning food in Ghana. The purpose of the study was to investigate thecontribution of the sensory cue on customer’s emotions and cognition and impulsive buying behaviour. The study findsanswers to the succeeding research questions: what sensory cue impacts on consumer emotion and cognition? And doesemotion and cognition influence consumer’s impulsive buying behaviour. A proposed theoretical model identifies visual,audio, and tactile dimensions as the sensory cue, emotions, and cognitive as mediation variable and impulsive buyingbehaviour as the outcome. Data were collected from 241 customers who were residence in Tema and have patronizedthe services of food vendors for a minimum of two years using a convenience sampling technique. The suggestedhypothesis was tested using structural equation modeling and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The result of thestudy shows that visual, audio, and tactile dimensions have a positive relationship with emotion but a negativerelationship with cognition. Regarding directs effect, the study revealed that there is a positive relationship betweenemotion and impulsive buying behaviour whiles cognition has a negative effect on impulsive buying behaviour. Thestudy recommended that managers must induce impulsive buying using characteristics of the food they serve and theenvironments in which they operate to stimulate customers' arousal and pleasure and provide enough information toalleviate the risk customers consider before buying food. The findings may not be generalized since the data wascollected in specific areas in Tema. Citation: Edward Markwei Martey, Racheal Markwei Martey and Kingsford Adenutsi.

Abstract: Impulsive buying behavior is an emerging phenomenon in marketing literature and it affects consumers across the board. Impulsive buying is seen as the outcome of demonstrative reactions that breed the unexpected craving to purchase. Impulsive buying is becoming an important factor for retailers since they generate a lot of income through this kind of behavior. Due to the expansion of organized retail over the country, shops are trying to comprehend the buying behavior of consumers and try by all means that they trigger consumers to act in an impulsive way. Traditional buying behavior of consumers was seen as when purchasers made a list for purchasing products then depart to a particular store and purchase it. But now the whole buying behavior is changing due to the rise in the income level of consumers. This is giving the consumers more buying power, transformation in the socio-cultural environment way of life and consumption pattern. This, therefore, influences the consumer to act in an irrational manner which is known as unplanned buying without considering the potential consequences which may include non-usage of the product, negative economic consequences and feelings of regret, fury and fault. So the present study aims to analyze how uniqueness, price and past orientation influence impulse buying behavior are focusing on classical clothing brands like Nike, Adidas and Reebok. This study attempts to discern how consumer's traditional planned shopping behavior is shifting to impulse buying behavior. The study used a quantitative research method and analyzed the data by means of SMART PLS to test the relationships and the model. 350 questionnaires were used for data analysis using convenience sampling process. The outcomes of the research showed a progressive and significant association between the predictors (the need for uniqueness, price and past orientation) and the outcome variable (impulsive buying behavior).
