Abstract

This study examines the impacts of social media advertisements on consumers' behaviors shopping for jewelry products in Vietnam. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the technology adoption model (TAM) is used to build this research model. Social media advertisements include brand reputation, information, entertainment, distractions, interactivity, value, and trustworthiness inherited from previous research. The official research sample includes individuals living in the ten richest provinces and cities in Vietnam (i.e.: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Bac Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Khanh Hoa, Da Nang) with a sample size of 227 respondents. The research results show that social media advertisement factors have an impact on consumers' attitudes and behaviors. The results also show that there are differences in behavior due to the influence of demographic factors.

Keywords: Shopping behavior, social media advertising, the theory of planned behavior (TPB), jewelry, Vietnam.
