Advertisement and Word of Mouth Influence on Purchase Behavior

    This study contributes to our understanding of purchase behavior in Pakistani society. This study focuses on whether advertising and word-of-mouth affect people's shopping decisions or whether they don't give it much thought at all. The study explores customer involvement in the fashion clothing industry. For many buyers, fashion clothes are a significant and meaningful item.Customers either want to be devoted and tie themselves to a brand they have used in the past, or they don't want to do that. Results confirm that word-of-mouth and advertising both have a significant impact on customers' purchase behavior.
