Abstract The rise of E-commerce is substantially contributing to Vietnam's thriving economy, transforming the way Vietnamese consumers shop. Starting from Singles’ Day 11.1 1 in China, E-commerce’ s year-end mega campaigns have become the most vibrant shopping seasons in Southeast Asia. Such campaigns play an essential role in the growth of this industry, but few studies pay attention to this topic, especially in Vietnam. Literature review has shown that customer awareness, conveniences, and constraints of shopping platforms may influence purchase intention in E-commerce’ s year-end sales campaigns. Collecting data from 300 respondents living in Vietnam, this paper confirms that consumer awareness and convenient benefits of E-commerce sites have a positive association with planned purchase intention in this season. Among different media channels, word-of-mouth tactics and onsite advertising can result in the highest boost in purchase intention, although people are most commonly aware of such campaigns thanks to advertisements on social media. Compared to other benefits, obtaining better prices through promotions is the most commonly high rated and has the most significant positive impact on purchase intention. Though constraints of using E-commerce sites do not show any significant impact on planned buying intention in general, they negatively affect whether people definitely want to use E-commerce for shopping during the year-end seasons or not. Based on these insights, this study delivers recommendations for E-commerce businesses in Vietnam to increase planned buying intention in their year-end sales campaigns. 2

Acknowledgement I would like to express my deepest gratitude to people who tremendously supported this project, especially Prof. Nguyen Thi Hoang Lan - my primary project supervisor , 20 volunteers who participated in the pre-tested survey, and 20 dedicated, amazing social networkers who helped me e-distribute the survey to respondents across the country. I also want to thank my beloved Co-23, Co-24, Co-25 friends and Fulbright Theater members, who are always by my side and wholeheartedly cheer me up through the ups and downs when running this project. Without all of your support, I could not complete this challenging yet exciting journey. 3
