Abstract

The quantitative research was to study the purchasing behavior, expectations and decision - making of pet products through the Facebook page platform. Data were collected by a one-time survey study through 400 households that raise dogs in Bangkok using purposive sampling, quota sampling and accidental sampling. The statistics used to analyze the data were the difference between means, F-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple comparison, L.S.D. (least significant difference), chi-Square and regression analysis to test the influence between 2 variables. The findings revealed that the majority of the sample were female (65.8 percent), aged between 31 and 40 (33.8 percent), private company employees (48.5 percent), had a monthly income of 15,000 to 25,000 (32.5 percent), and had a bachelor's degree (60.8 percent) on average. The main reason for purchasing pet products through the Facebook page platform was convenience in purchasing at an average of 26.3 or the highest level. Finding information about pet products was social media such as Facebook at an average of 55.0 or the highest level. The expectation for purchasing pet products through the Facebook page platform was to exchange products in case of damage or problems at an average of 4.25 or the highest level. The decision to purchase pet products through the Facebook page platform was to find out more information about pet products sold through the Facebook page platform in order to make a purchase decision at an average of 3.95 or the highest level. The results of the hypothesis testing found that: 1) Customers with different demographic characteristics, such as income, had different main reasons for purchasing pet products through the Facebook page platform, 2) Customers with different demographic characteristics, such as age, had no different expectations for purchasing pet products through the Facebook page platform, and 3) The results of this study will be useful as a guideline for improving and developing pet products for sale in order to have a direction for planning marketing strategies that are appropriate for the current changing consumer behavior.
