Abstract

In recent years, online shopping has boomed a lot around the world towards convenient and pleasurable shopping experience and it has brought a dramatic change in the shopping behavioral pattern of Bangladeshi consumers as well. A gradually increasing number of Bangladeshi customers are leaning toward online shopping. Online spending by Bangladeshi customers has increased too. This paper has made an attempt to explore an association between online customers’ demographic profile and their level of online spending. Data used in this study were obtained using a structured questionnaire on 98 respondents selected randomly. After the associational analyses through Chi-square, the demographic variables including age, occupation, and monthly income exhibited an association with online spending. However, two variables, namely gender and education did not confirm any association with the volume of online spending. At the end of the paper, keeping in mind the limitations of the study some agenda for future research have been proposed.
