In the contemporary environment, people experience things in a completely different way than the previous generation.

Customers of the fashion-wear retail industry were targeted for this study and survey method has been used for data collection. The relevant questionnaire was pilot tested among 40 Facebook fans of the reputed fashion-wear retailers in Sri Lanka. Based on the theories and expert opinions the measures of Facebook marketing, customer-based brand equity and purchase intention were identified. Reliability and validity of these constructs were tested and the remaining items were selected as the measures for these variables. This study provides a good starting point to identify measures of the three variables and lead to a more comprehensive research.
