Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate how store atmosphere influences purchase intention in fast fashion brands in Bangkok. There is robust growth and high competition in the fast fashion's market. Seven factors, which are music, color, lighting, traffic flow, space allocation, product display, and window display, are selected in order to find statistical relationship with purchase intention based on thorough literature review. Findings of this current research show that color, lightening, traffic flow, product display and window display have statistical influence on purchase intention whereas music and space allocation have not. This result provide important managerial implications to fast fashion industry to focus on purchase intention to enhance sustainability and profitability. Further investigation of the factors contributing to purchase intention and in other geographical areas is suggested for future studies.
