Abstract:

While impulsivity is a subject that has been explored more in sociology and psychology, it seems that in recent years there has been a considerable increase in the field of marketing. At the same time, it seems that the impulsivity/impulsive buying behavior are rapidly increasing in society as a whole. According to the literature, impulsive buying behavior can accounts up to 95% of all purchases. For this reason, the main purpose of the study were investigated the factors affecting the tendency to impulsive buying behavior and the results of impulsive buying behavior. Data were collected from 558 participants who agreed to participate in the research, including 247 in Uşak, 76 in İzmir, 105 in Istanbul, 50 in Akhisar, 21 in Merzifon, 41 in Ankara and 18 in Balıkesir. The research data were collected by means of questionnaire. According to the study results, the availability of money and time leads consumers to tend to impulsive buy holiday packages. On the other hand, consumers' mood level, impatience, severity of holiday need, need for cognition, amount of money and quantity discount have no statistically effect on the tendency to impulsive buying. Consumers who have a tendency to impulsive buying are buying impulsive. Finally, after a holiday package purchased in a pure and planned impulsive buying, consumers are satisfied with the service they receive, while consumers who are in the behavior of purchasing by recommendation and reminder impulsive buying behavior are not satisfied with the service they receive. Future research should examine the attitudes of consumers towards goods or services that are purchased impulsive.
