According to the Engel, Blackwell and Miniard Model (EBM Model), the study utilize the Convenience sampling for the Hualien inhabitants. There are total 483 samples returned. For analyzing statistics, the study applied Frequency distribution, Factor analysis, Chi-Square test, Cross analysis contingency table and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to demographic variable, transaction feature variable, information source variable, motivation variable, and consideration variable. The results showed as following. First, the way of shopping and the demographic variables such as gender and diet habit had much correlation with the consideration factors--price, ingredient, taste, and profession. Second, the demographic variables do not affect the frequency. However, there were significant variations between the health and environmental protection in motivation factors and the taste and profession in consideration factors. Finally, the demographical factors about age, income, and marriage will sway the amount of money each time spent. The healthy and environmental motivation had much influence on the consideration in price and ingredient.
