Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze data. The results suggest that the vehicle branding dimension 'product's name' is the most influencing factor and customer purchasing behaviour dimension "interest" is the most influenced factor. Further, there's a significant positive weak relationship between vehicle branding and customer purchasing behaviour and finally, product identification, format, creativity and type of vehicle significantly impact on customer purchasing behavior except text composition.
