TOMS於2006年間成立，創辦人Blake Mycoskie成立這家公司的主要目的是為了通過One for One的長期慈善計劃幫助有需要的人。雖然TOMS早在2006年成立，但是仍有大部分的人不知道TOMS是一個慈善品牌。另外，在這個先進時代的消費者並不如往常那麼重視價格的尾數了，因此這個研究的主要目的是為了要了解價格尾數，口碑和慈善標語是否會影響台灣年輕族群的產品知覺品質和購買意願。 本研究通過網路問卷形式，共收取了235份有效問卷。研究結果顯示當今的年輕族群不重視價格尾數，導致價格尾數對知覺品質和購買意願沒有顯著的影響。另外，本研究也證明了現在的消費者，比起各企業想要通過商品傳達的資訊，他們較易於相信和依賴口碑。最後，本研究也發現了現在的消費者對於有慈善標語的產品有著較高的購買意願。 TOMS is a company that was founded in the year of 2006.
