Abstract
Impulse buying is a common phenomenon of consumption today and its getting great attention from consumer researchers as well as marketers. It is important for companies to have a good understanding of factors triggering impulse buying. The main aim of this study is to identify the determinants influencing Turkish consumers’ impulse buying behavior in supermarkets. 593 surveys were taken into analysis which were collected between the dates 5-10 December, 2017. Regression analysis, t-test and ANOVA test were conducted to test the hypotheses. While some independent variables such as sales promotion and credit card usage found to be the affecting factors of impulse buying; variables such as income level is found to have no relation with impulse purchasing.
