With the increasing popularity of the Internet and convenience of mobile devices, consumers can easily and quickly learn about other's experiences, their reviews, and even product information on online social media platforms. Accordingly, the impact of online communities has become an important influencing factor of consumer purchase intention. This study, therefore, aims to investigate whether the difference between the information provided on online community platforms and that in an offline environment impacts consumer purchase intention on online community platforms. To this end, 120 valid questionnaires were completed by consumers who have purchased from companies that engaged in a click-and-mortar business. Data analysis revealed that both online community experience and offline physical experience positively impact cognitive involvement; both online community experience and offline physical experience positively impact purchase intention; and cognitive involvement positively impacts purchase intention. Lastly, research and practical implications of the present findings are highlighted, and follow-up research directions are proposed.
