The results show that Price Skimminghas significant positive influence on consumer behaviour at 5% level. The results show that marketing sharing sites has significant positive influence on consumer behaviour at 5% level. The results show that blog has significant positive influence on consumer behaviour at 5% level. The results show that Competitive Pricinghas significant positive influence on consumer behaviour at 5% level. Moreover, all beta value is higher than .001. All models have very high adjusted R2 indicating the ability of the models explaining the variation of consumer behaviour due to variation of independent variables is very high. The F-value shows that the explanatory variables are jointly statistically significant in the model and the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics reveals that there is autocorrelation in the models.
