This study investigates the impact of information exchange, information timeliness and the influence of review information on impulse buying through curiosity and attention focus. The Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model was used for the investigation. A self-administered survey was employed to collect data from respondents online. 200 sets of questionnaires were used for the analysis by partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that information exchange and information timeliness possessed positive effects on both curiosity and attention focus. In addition, curiosity and attention focus also had a positive impact on impulse buying. This study contributes to the literature of impulse buying by incorporating the flow experience theory into the S-O-R model. Industry players could formulate suitable strategies by understanding their customers’ impulse buying behaviour.
