Abstract—Consumer impulse buying behavior has received considerable attention in the field of consumer research. This phenomenon is interesting because impulse buying behavior is influenced by many factors. This paper analyzes data from a sample of 142 questionnaires to extend the relationship between impulse buying behavior and different types of consumers, associated with demographic features (age and gender), shopping way (online shopping and offline shopping), and product classification (utilitarian products and hedonic products). The study of these factors unfolds to analyze the impulse buying behavior of consumers and gives proper suggestions in terms of consumption decisions. This study helps consumers to understand their behavioral characteristics and make proper consumption decisions.
Keywords—consumption decision, demographic features, impulse buying, product classification, shopping way
