This study investigates the influence of brand preference and information reliability on consumers' purchase decisions. If product information at the internet advertising matches with consumers' previous brand preference, they are more likely to enhance product information reliability after watching the advertising. Such brand preference match through the advertising will increase consumers' intention to purchase. From the results of our experiment, we found that information reliability and memory from the advertising give a positive impact on the intention to purchase when consumers' previous brand preference matches with advertising attributes. Our study suggests that firms need to develop the internet advertising which is closely matched with consumers' preferences.
