Abstract
Extant literature shows the way of communication and the information contained in the
advertising is not strong and pertinent enough to attract the attention of the consumers.
Advertising must be consistent enough so that it can be accepted and bring an effect on
consumers’ buying behavior when judged against information previously processed and held.
This study aimed at examining the influence of demographic and socio-cultural factors,
advertisement media choice used on consumers’ buying behavior in selected Ethiopian private
banks. We used bank age to stratify population in out attempt to capture heterogeneous behavior.
Sample banks were randomly selected from each stratum while top three big branches of these
banks were included purposefully. Finally grab sampling was used to capture perceptions of384
customers of which 362 (94%) were valid for farther analysis. The study used descriptive
statistics, Chi-square, ANNOVA and linear regression to analyze differences among groups and
effect of input variables on the outcome variable. Results indicate education and advertisement
objective influence consumer buying behavior. Likewise, only broadcast media of the four media
the sector uses significantly and positively influence buying behavior. Accordingly, the study
concludes demographic factors, media selection and advertisement objective influencing
consumer buying behavior in the Ethiopian private banking sector. Finally, we recommend
private banks to focus on using broadcast media than others, persuasion advertisement objective
to be more on persuasion, content attractive enough for educated, youth and middle age
customers.
