Abstract
This research investigates the various factors that impact consumers" intentions to
‘make purchases at mobile phone stores in Ho Chi Minh City. By combining qualitative and
quantitative research methods, the study collected primary data from 283 questionnaires,
which were processed using SPSS software. The research results reveal that the factors
influencing purchase intentions, ranked from high to low, include product quality,
promotions, price, place, brand, guarantee & after-sales service, and staff. Through this
study, the authors contribute to scientific research, providing insights for store management
to create optimal conditions that encourage customers to consistently consider purchasing
from mobile phone stores. The study also proposes relevant solutions related to each factor
to enhance customer purchase intentions at these stores
Keywords: Purchase Intentions, Mobile Phone Stores, Digital Age, Ho Chi Minh City
1. Introduction
The mobile phone market has witnessed significant growth worldwide, with an
increasing variety of smartphones becoming popular. These devices serve various purposes
for users across different fields, significantly enhancing efficiency. In bustling markets like
Ho Chi Minh City, numerous mobile phone companies compete fiercely to attract customers
Moreover, people's lifestyles have improved, leading many customers to shift from
traditional retail channels (such as local stores) to modem shopping options. Large
supermarkets, convenient stores, and 24-hour shops have become popular choices. The
robust development of internet technology allows customers to conveniently search for
desired products before making a purchase decision. Typically, customers explore product
details, including images, designs, features, specifications, pricing, and promotional offers
‘on business websites. Some even read reviews and feedback from other customers to inform
their buying choices.
In Vietnam, the competition in the mobile phone market is intense. Companies
employ various strategies related to pricing, product offerings, and promotions. However,
these strategies often yield short-term results because competitors quickly adapt. Challenges
within the industry remain a top concem for mobile phone companies. With numerous
options available—such as Viettel, FPT, and hundreds of other retail stores—customers seek
the optimal choice that combines reliability, quality, affordability, and trustworthiness. Toachieve success, businesses must thoroughly research customer needs and tailor their
strategies accordingly. In Ho Chi Minh City, where many mobile phone companies operate,
the battle for customer attention continues
Research on general purchase intention has been conducted by numerous researchers
both domestically and intemationally, including authors such as Manyu Huang (2011),
Khaing (2014), Sohel Rana (2015), Nushrat Shabrin (2017), and Rakibul Hafiz Khan Rakib
(2022), These studies utilize general theoretical models of usage intention, and specific
research models for purchase intention at mobile phone supermarkets. In Vietnam, most
rescarch conducted is an analysis of customer purchase decisions, with no comprehensive
research available for the purchase intention of the general customer population. Therefore,
this study, with the purpose of identifying and measuring the importance of factors
influencing purchase intention at mobile phone stores, is a necessary contribution at least for
mobile phone businesses. The experiences drawn from the research process form the basis
for improving research activities on factors influencing purchase decisions at mobile
supermarkets, thereby developing strategies to increase market share and build competitive
advantages over competitors. Therefore, we conduct research on the factors influencing
purchase intention at mobile phone stores in the digital age in Ho Chi Minh City to contribute
to increasing the success rate of customers in the sales marketing furmel, as well as further
strengthening the business operations of mobile phone stores.
2. Literature review
2.1. General theory on intention
2.1. Theory of intention behavior
Behavioral intention is defined as the subjective intention of consumers to perform
specific behavior or action. Behavioral intention includes and is measured through specific
expressions: positive action intentions tend to bind consumers to the product, increase
purchase volume, speak well of the product and supplier, and are willing to pay higher costs
to use the product. Conversely, negative action intentions cause consumers to reduce or stop
using the product, even switch to using competitive products and speak ill ofthe product and
supplier (Avraham, 2013), According to Ajzen (1991), attitudes are divided into two
different types: attitudes towards objects and attitudes towards be!
many theories explaining human behavior in general and consumer buying behavior in
particular, Behavioral intention is the action of humans guided by considering three factors,
which are belief in behavior, belief in norms, and belief in control. The greater this belief,
the greater the intention to act (Ajzen, 2002).
wiors. And there are
According to Kotler et al. (2001), there are two factors that can hinder intention from,
becoming actual behavior, which are the attitudes of those around and unexpected situations.
In studies of consumer behavior, some researchers such as Batchelor, 1998 and colleagues
(1996), Cronin and colleagues (2000) use behavioral intention variable as a dependent
variable and focus on researching this variable. Intention plays the role of intention to impact
actual behavior, as well as having a strong and close relationship with actual behavior (Suki,2011). Predicting intention is the first step to predict actual behavior (Howard and Sheth,
1967), The intention to use is described as the readiness of consumers to use the product
(Elbeck and Tirtiroglu, 2008). Therefore, research on intention to use is more important than
research on actual behavior, esp
lly with predictive research, research aimed at finding
solutions... Zeithaml and many other researchers use the term behavioral intention to include
and measure by positive behavioral intentions (such as speaking well of the business, willing
to spend money to buy the product, service of the business...). In a study on the factors
affecting the conversion of mobile telecommunications service networks of Jordanians,
Avwwad and Neimat (2010) used the concept of behavioral intention as positive. The scale is
expressed as: introducing others to the service, maintaining and satisfying with the service
and continuing to use other services from the service provider. In his research, the author
uses the term intention to use with a positive meaning as above. Consumers can form the
intention to use based on factors such as expected income, expected selling price, expected
product features...
2.1.2, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
‘The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is limited in predicting consumer behaviors
that they cannot control; the factors of attitude towards behavior and subjective norms are
insufficient to explain consumer actions. Therefore, the TPB was developed by Ajzen (1991)
by adding the factor of perceived behavioral control to the TRA model. The component of
perceived behavioral control reflects the ease or difficulty of performing a behavior; this
depends on the availability of resources and opportunities to perform the behavior. The TPB
(Aizen, 1991) posits that motivation ot consumer intention is the fundamental driving factor
of consumer behavior. This motivation is guided by three basic antecedents: attitude, social
influence, and perceived behavioral control. Attitude is hypothesized as one of the main
determining factors in explaining consumer behavior. Attitude is defined as a psychological
tendency expressed by evaluating a specific entity with some degree of liking-disliking,
satisfaction-dissatisfaction, and good-bad polarity (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). Social norms
represent a person’s beliefs about whether someone significant (to him or her) thinks that he
or she should or should not bind himself or herself to that behavior. Significant people are
those whose preferences for his or her behavior in this area are important to him or her
(Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). Along with attitude, social influence is an important factor
leading to consumer motivation in the form of behavioral intention (Ajzen and Fishbein,
1975). Perceived behavioral control: In the TPB, Ajzen (1991) focuses on the concept of
perceived behavioral control as a person’s belief about how difficult or easy itis to perform
1 behavior. A person who believes that he or she possesses more resources and
opportunities predicts fewer obstacles and therefore greater control over his or her
behavior. Control factors can be internal to a person (skills, knowledge...) or external to
that person (time, opportunity, dependence on others...), among which the factors of time,
price, knowledge stand out. In this model, perceived behavioral control has a direct impact
‘on both intention and consumer behavior2.1.3. Consumer Behavior
‘The study of consumer behavior aims to elucidate the process of purchasing or not
purchasing a certain type of goods. The term consumer behavior is defined as the behaviors
of individuals (consumers) directly related to the search, evaluation, selection, use, and
disposal of goods and services. In other words, consumer behavior is the process and action
of decision-making by those involved in purchasing and using products. According to Philip
Kotler, “Consumer behavior is the investigation and study of how individuals, groups, and
organizations deploy the selection, purchase, use, and disposal of products & goods,
services, unique ercations, and enjoyment to satisfy their essential needs and desires.”
According to David L. Loudon & Albert J. Della Bitta (1993), “Consumer behavior is
defined as the process of decision-making action and behavior in practice of individuals
when recognizing, shopping, using, or disposing of goods and services.” Similarly, from the
perspective of Leon G, Schiffinan and Leslie Lazar Kanuk, “consumer behavior is a series
of behaviors that consumers express in the process of exchanging product samples,
including: learning, shopping, using, recognizing, and resolving and handling the disposal
of a product and service for the purpose of satisfying their needs.” According to the
‘American Marketing Association, consumer behavior is the interaction between the
stimulating factors of the environment with the cognition and behavior of humans, and
through this interaction, humans change their lives. In summary, all definitions of consumer
behavior focus on aspects of the process of perception, information search, evaluation of
purchases, post-purchase reaction of consumers, and the dialectical relationship between that
process and the extemal factors that directly and indirectly affect it.
2.2. Hypotheses development
2.2.1, Place
Consumers highly value the convenience of location due to time scarcity (Genova,
2010). A place near bustling residential areas attracts many consumers to the mobile phone
store (Hung, 2020), and a good place always provides suitable conditions for consumers
when shopping in large cities like Jakarta (Baruna Hadi Brata, 2017). Through the concepts
listed, the author asserts that the concept of place by Baruna Hadi Brata, 2017 is consistent
with the research direction, the convenient location for travel and shopping of customers,
moreover, spacious and airy premises will be very comfortable for shopping stimulating the
shopping psychology of consumers more. So
HL: Place has a positive influence on purchase intention
2.2.2. Brand reputation
A brand is not just a name or a symbol. The brand name creates an impression in the
customer’s mind about the quality of service that the company provides. If customers are
satisfied with a branded product, they can spread the word, which can affect other consumers
using the brand, In one study, it was shown that the brand has a positive impact on female
customers more than male customers (Azad and Safael, 2012). Another study pointed out
that there is evidence that the brand creates a greater impact on those with limited purchasingpower (Bhattacharya and Mitra, 2012). Everyone likes branded products because of their
perception of performance, quality, service, and social status. Mudondo (2014) argues that
age is an important factor for the technological advancement of the younger generation. He
found evidence that the younger generation understands more about technological
advancements in mobile phones, affecting their purchasing decisions. Through the concepts
listed, the author asserts that the concept of brand reputation by Azad and Safael; Mudond
is consistent with the research direction, so the brand also plays an important role in
attracting customers and creating loyalty from customers to the brand, From there, the
following hypothesis is proposed:
H2: Brand reputation has a positive influence on purchase intention
2.2.3. Promotion
Promotion refers to activities aimed at encouraging customers to increase shopping,
use goods, services of the business, or stimulate the buyer to make a decision.
Promotional forms include discounts, vouchers, lucky draws, all of which are related to
the customer's perception of a program, promotional campaign, affecting the customer's
decision (Le Thi Diem My, 2019). Implementing promotions has the most positive
impact in reducing the cost that customers have to pay to get goods, services through
direct discount or gift forms, (Nushrat Shabrin, 2017), however, it also has a negative
impact on the customer’s perception of product service quality, because customers may
think that promoted goods, products usually have low value or will come with a prepaid
cost calculated in the product when customers buy the product, (My, 2019). In addition,
the timing of the promotion can also affect the behavior of customers, if the promotion
appears at a time when customers do not expect it will create @ negative impact on
customers. Promotion affects the purchase decision of customers in particular and the
sales volume of goods sold in general. Therefore, it requires managers to pay attention,
consider the overall potential impact of the promotion program in the short term as well
as long term. From there, propose the hypothesis
HB: Promotion has a positive influence on purchase intention
2.2.4. Perceived Price
Price is the amount of money that consumers are willing to exchange for a service or
product (Kotler and Amstrong, 2010). Price is an important factor affecting the buyer to
make @ purchase decision. In 2013, the Malaysian government discounted 200RM for
smartphones for those aged 21 to 20 and those with an income below 3,000RM per month
(The Star, 2013). According to a study by Chew (2012), among the young population in
Malaysia, price is an important factor in the intention to buy a phone. Others found that price
and customer service play an important role in consumer satisfaction, but the price of the
device creates more impact than other factors (Hanif and colleagues, 2010). From there,
propose the following hypothesis:
Ha: Perei
ed price has a positive influence on the customer's purchase decision2.2.5. Product Quality
In the past decade, the business situation of enterprises has many profound
fluctuations before the changes of society as well as the change of customers. They have
high demand for products, services, even shopping behavior so there is more pressure on
businesses in providing product quality, services exceeding customer expectations,
(Beverly and colleagues, 2002). Moreover, customers can perceive the product quality
of the business by many aspects of the product or service related to both tangible and
intangible characteristics (Vuong and Rajagopal, 2017). Therefore, product quality is
considered an important factor because if the product quality is good, it will increase the
reputation, image of the business as well as affect the choice of buying produets of
customers, leading to customer satisfaction and loyalty. From there, propose the
following hypothesis,
H5: Product quality has a positive influence on purchase intention
2.2.6. Guarantee & after-sales service
Customer care is at the heart ofall successful companies. It helps you develop a loyal
customer base and improve your relationship with your customers. Good customer service
helps turn customers into ambassadors for the business. One of the main factors to determine
customer satisfaction is the customer's per
pption of service quality (Ngo and Nguyen,
2016). Satisfaction and service quality are two different concepts but have a close
relationship: satisfaction is considered as the emotional response to their experience with the
product and service. In addition, to build a sustainable relationship with customers,
businesses should provide what customers expect for the product (Malik and colleagues,
2012), On the other hand, service quality is considered as the theoretical basis of the
difference between expectation and capability along with quality (Loke and colleagues,
2011) while quality is often considered as an important factor creating value and affecting
customer satisfaction, From there, the following hypothesis is proposed: H6: Guarantee &
after-sales service have a positive influence on purchase intention
2.2.7. Sales Staff
Sales staff are those who interact with customers, advise, introduce goods, and are
the ones who directly bring revenue to the company (Ngo and Nguyen, 2016). Sales staff
are the face of the store, a hardworking but rude, blunt salesperson can make customers
have a bad impression and never come back (Le Thi Diem My, 2019). Sales staff are
very important, your goods are good but if accompanied by poor service quality then you
can hardly achieve high revenue at the present time. Therefore, sales staff need to have
communication skills, politeness, courtesy to satisfy customers, need to be equipped with
enough skills and knowledge about the product to be able to advise customers, from there
will help customers make a faster purchase decision. On that basis, the following
hypothesis is proposed
Hypothesis H7- Sales staff have a positive influence on purchase intentionProduct quality
Guarantee & after-
sales service

phone store, it will positively impact their intention to purchase at a mobile phone store by 6.5%,
This is also consistent with the author's research expectations. In group H7, the variable Staff,
has statistical significance in the research model at the 5% level and Beta coefficient = 0.017.
When other factors remain constant, if consumers receive enthusiastic support from staff at a
‘mobile phone store, it will positively impact their intention to purchase at a mobile phone store
by 1.7%. This is also consistent with the author’s rescarch expectations,
5, Discussion and conclusion
5.1. Management implications
Based on the analysis of the research results, measures need to be taken to enhance
the factors influencing customers’ purchase intentions, in the following order: Product
Quality, Promotion, Price, Place, Brand, Guarantee & after-sales service, Staff. For Product
Quality, the company needs to establish a long-term relationship of mutual understanding
‘and trust between the manufacturer and the supplier to provide the best products for
customers, commit to product quality when customers buy at the mobile phone store if there
is a problem it must be satisfactorily resolved, do not sell long-stored or poor-quality
products to customers as this will affect the reputation of the store, the company must
constantly search, innovate and improve technology, in addition to providing products with
beautiful models and designs, focus on exploiting high-quality products from genuine
suppliers to have the best products to consumers, so that consumers” trust increases and they
will always intend to go to the mobile phone store to choose to buy goods with satisfaction,For Promotion, the company must ensure the price stability of the product at the
mobile phone store, to thereby attract the best consumer volume. Because price is also deeply
concerned by consumers and is also a tool to increase competitiveness with other competitors
in the market. Need to focus on discounts on holidays or store opening days or birthdays of
mobile phone stores, build a promotion program such as strong discounts at golden hours,
offer products with special prices to encourage people to increase their intention to use online
shopping services, extend the promotion time further, not only focus on holidays or special
occasions in the year because customer demand is increasing so anytime and the impact,
stimulate to that demand to lead to buying action is always necessary, provide full and
regularly update promotional information to customers so that customers can timely grasp and
spread the attractiveness of the promotional programs that the mobile phone store is applying
For Price, the company needs to keep the current price policies but must know how
to research the market to change the price to be reasonable, Because according to customers,
the price offered by the mobile phone store is better than the price of competitors in the
industry, find companies with low interest rates to work at the mobile phone store to help
customers have the opportunity to own a mobile device as desired but do not have money to
pay at once, bring to consumers products with prices commensurate with the quality and
service that customers perceive when experiencing direct shopping at the store, have a
reasonable and unified price policy between stores and on the e-commerce platform (online)
to create consistency, easy to compare prices when customers need to learn before buying,
reasonable product price policy needs to be considered to suit the market, commensurate
with product quality. For low selling prices can also make customers doubt about quality so
need to have appropriate reasons to make customers trust such as: low incurred costs,
leftover goods through the season, encourage shopping at the store ... For goods sold at the
original price or higher than the market need to show outstanding advantages in quality,
material, fully imported goods, good warranty policy
For Place, need to deploy mobile phone store systems in areas near the center and
near densely populated residential areas. To thereby attract the largest number of consumers,
and create trust as well as build a stronger brand, the company needs to take advantage of its
location to design premises as well as design signs, banners reasonably and attractively to
attract more attention from customers.
For Brand, in terms of reputation or reputation, the brand of the business also has @
great impact on creating initial trust in consumers. The more famous the business, the more
it strives to protect its reputation, this is the best guarantee for consumers because reputable
businesses never accept actions that harm customers. So, if buying goods at reputable stores,
buying branded products, then these concems will be limited, from there the risk perception
is reduced, Therefore, enhancing the brand is an important job for shopping, especially for
high-value products, actively Participate in forums and blogs related to technology,
electronics. Post articles, share about business experience, experience about products,
services. Bring the personality of mobile phone store into the article, from there there will
be a large number of readers who can read and learn detailed product information throughthe links leading to the website, Increase brand recognition such as printing logo, brand name
‘on simple products, low cost such as hats, shirts, umbrellas to make gifts for current
customers, potential customers or even supplicrs, Promote products, services as well as
promotional programs will be deployed on traditional local media such as: printed
newspapers, radio, magazines, television to brand contact with potential customers, Invest
in product image by hiring models and being photographed by professional photographers,
Advertise brands online on social networks, and maintain interaction on these social
networking sites, constantly respond to customers as soon as possible, Always have a
combination between website and social network, Build a reasonable promotion policy, do
not discount rampant to avoid affecting the brand image.
For guarantee & after-sales service, In the coming time, the company needs to be
stronger so that customers know that the company's after-sales policy is completely for
customers, When receiving customer notifications about product problems ot errors, the
company must fully support to warranty, exchange free for customers according to what the
company has committed, depending on the specific case, Through phone, E-mail, Internet,
mobile phone store staff will guide customers to use the program how to remedy, solve
problems or errors of software related to the product that the customer has purchased, With
rich and professional after-sales service if required technical staff will advise by phone, Zalo
‘or Facebook to answer customer inquiries, During the warranty period for customers’ phones,
the mobile phone store can lend customers another phone at the supermarket to use until the
product fixes the error, Offer the best return, warranty policies that only mobile phone stores
can do to make customers see the practical benefits when buying products at mobile phone
stores, Build a department specializing in research, evaluate the attitude of employees
towards customers, of customers towards the store, Collect customer needs to meet better.
For Staff, Staff need to be trained in sales methods, persuasive skills, negotiation
skills to create professionalism in the service process. Organize exchange programs, games
to win prizes to attract customers, create a position in the hearts of customers, Train a team
of staff with good capacity in consulting or customer care, staff must always be trained when
there are new products and constantly updated to advise consumers the best for consumers
to boldly intend to buy at the supermarket mobile phone store, Have a reasonable and fair
reward policy for staff to be enthusiastic, more motivated when working,
5.2, Limitations and future research directions
Within the constraints of time, budget, manpower, and supportive tools, this study
employed a convenience sampling method, which may not fully represent the overall
population, Additionally, the sample size is not significantly large, so the subjective
evaluations of the surveyed group could skew the research results. Therefore, future research
could be conducted with a larger sample size, probabilistic sampling, and stratification of
subjects to enhance the generalizability of the research. The sampling process was only
conducted within the scope of Ho Chi Minh City, limiting the generalizability of the research
results and not considering demographic factors inthis study. Therefore, subsequent researchshould expand the scope of the research subjects to many provinces and cities nationwide.
The study only stops at surveying the factors affecting the intention to use shopping services
al the store without mentioning actual usage behavior. Therefore, the relationship between
intended behavior and actual usage behavior also needs to be considered. There are many
factors influencing the intention to buy at a mobile phone store. Therefore, the model that
the author has built can only research a few factors affecting the intention to buy at a mobile
phone supermarket at a mobile phone store, so subsequent research can add some new factors
to suit the research conditions. The research results show that the “Product Quality” factor
has the strongest impact on shopping intention. Therefore, this factor needs to be researched
and surveyed more carefully in follow-up studies
