Understanding the various categories of impulsive buying is essential for companies, as it enables them to tailor marketing strategies effectively. This study focuses on assessing the impulsive buying tendencies of Generation Z consumers in Jakarta's Special Capital Region while identifying their specific impulsive buying type categories. The research evaluates dimensions such as Pure Impulse Buying, Reminder Impulse Buying, Suggestion Impulse Buying, and Planned Impulse Buying, alongside Cognitive and Affective Aspects.
