This study has investigated the effectiveness of marketing communication mix in influencing buying decision. By conducting research it has been assessed that marketing communication mix is strongly effective in different types of consumer buyer behaviour. A deductive approach has been applied to conduct the research. Data collection was mainly done through interview and questionnaire on the customers of SSS Supermarkets directly. A theoretical framework has been employed for evaluating the effectiveness of marketing communication mix on buying decision. Six components of marketing mix have been employed to extract out such effectiveness. The extent of effectiveness varies from components to components which have been disclosed by ANOVA test. Finally, a regression model has been run to measure the effectiveness of marketing communication mix with statistical significance. The regression analysis concluded strong relation of marketing communication mix on consumer buying decisions. Key Word: Advertising, Sales Promotion, Personal Selling, CSR,
