In this study, the mood control behavior, designed as the connection point, combined with the situation and the mood as composite view to examine the influencing mechanism of in-store stimulation on impulsive buying. Through reviewing literature about the impulsive purchase, the store atmosphere, the mood , we analyze the shortcomings and limitations of the existing research. According to the previous analyses, we point out specific process about how the atmospheres of store influence impulsive
purchase through the customers’ mood. Through questionnaire survey and empirical analysis to explore whether the store’s environment stimuli have
effect on consumers’ impulse buying behavior.
Through software SPSS 22.0 and Lisrel 8.70 empirical study, we get the following conclusions. Firstly, the results of this study show that the stores’ environment, including atmosphere factors, social factors and design factors was significantly and positively correlated to the customers’ mood. The better stores’ environment, the better customers’ mood will be. Secondly, via system of adjusting mood, customers’ mood will significantly influence customer browsing in the shop. From the results of analysis, we
can find that customers’ mood is an intermediary variable between the store's environmental stimuli and the impulse buying behavior. The stores’
environment has great effect on the customers’ mood. The customers’ mood has great effect on the customer browsing in the shop. The more time customer browsing in the shop, the more chance customer will buy the products. Thirdly, the results show that combining store's environmental stimuli and system of adjusting mood is reasonable and appropriate.Undoubtedly, the establishment of integrative model promotes a complete explanation of how in-store factors affect impulse buying behavior.
Therefore, if companies want to occupy a place in the fierce market competition, they just rely on product quality to meet the needs of customers is not enough, but also need to make an effort in the store atmosphere. The conclusions of this paper can assist managers to work out decisions that meet the demands of customers, so that the enterprises may grasp their core competitiveness in dynamic competitions to reach the higher marketing targets.
