A Study of factors influencing Chinese consumers purchase intentions in cross-border live streaming e-Commerce of Thai cosmetics
Abstract:
This research examined the factors that influence Chinese consumers' willingness to purchase Thai beauty products through cross-border e-commerce platforms. Using the SOR theory, the study developed a model that includes factors such as product attributes, pricing, live streaming channels, entertainment, interactivity during live broadcasts, perceived value, perceived risk, and purchase intention. By reviewing existing literature, creating questionnaires, and analyzing data, the study identified the relationships between these variables and highlighted the main factors that impact consumers' purchasing decisions. The results showed that discounts, promotional offers, the choice of live streaming channels, and the entertainment value of live broadcasts significantly increased consumers' purchase intentions, while product attributes and interactivity during live broadcasts had no significant impact. Additionally, perceived value and perceived risk played important roles in shaping purchase intention. Specifically, perceived value strengthened the positive effects of certain factors on purchase intention, while perceived risk reduced the influence of others. The study also refined the model to show the complex relationships among these factors and provided practical recommendations for Thai merchants looking to sell beauty products in China. It is recommended that Thai merchants focus on pricing strategies and promotional activities, choose the right live streaming platforms and hosts, and boost purchase intention by increasing perceived product value and reducing perceived risk. Moreover, building a strong brand reputation is essential for gaining consumer trust and increasing purchase intention.
