Abstract:
Purpose: The green concept has become a major concern of the modern world when
consumers buy a product. Sri Lankan consumers also change their purchasing behavior

behavior very significantly, very limited academic disciplines have integrated the selected
phenomenon into their literature especially true of marketing. Thus, this study focuses on
whether Environmental Advertisements, Perception of Eco-labels, and Perception of Eco
Brands impact on green purchasing behaviour.

purchase behavior. A survey of 150 consumers who used electronic home appliances is
conducted as a self-administrated questionnaire.

Purchasing Behavior in the electronics home appliances market. Further, the moderation
effects make sure consumer demographics such as gender and education level have
significant effects on the green behavior of the electronic home appliances market, but the
different marketing tools are different.

tools on consumer purchasing behaviour with consumer demographics and motivation to
