Abstract

Manuscript type: Research Article Research Aims: The research objective was to determine customer brand engagement (CBE) drivers, which directly or indirectly generate word of mouth (WOM) on Instagram through trust, commitment, customer satisfaction, and loyalty. Design/methodology/approach: This research was conducted in Indonesia with 213 respondents who are active on Instagram accounts, have an age range between 20 and 60 years, and have an attachment to products from middle to upper-class brands in Indonesia. This quantitative research uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. Research Findings: The results show that customer involvement and flow experience are the main drivers of CBE, which then directly generate WOM, customer trust, and customer commitment. CBE also indirectly forms WOM through trust and commitment. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study can explain the importance of customer involvement and experience in forming CBE to gain loyalty and word of mouth through Instagram in Indonesia. Practitioner/Policy Implication: The managerial implication of the research is about brand-building strategies, forming satisfaction, trust, and commitment to brand loyalty in the short and long term through disseminating information on social media such as Instagram. Research limitation/Implications: This study has limitations; first, the research data only relies on one social networking site (Instagram) in Indonesia to test hypotheses. Second, the survey was about middle-class and above-class product brands. Third, in this case, it has not discussed demographics about age.

Abstract

Manuscript type: Research Research Aims: to analyse the impact of online reviews on Instagram on online impulse buying behaviour for the beauty product category, with the role of browsing as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach: A conclusive study with 441 respondents, analysed by SEM Research Findings: Browsing mediates the online review perceived value (both utilitarian and hedonic value) significantly toward the urge to buy impulsively, which will further enhance the impulse buying Theoretical Contribution/Originality: (1) this study enriches the relationship between online reviews and impulse buying, using browsing as the critical factor to link the relationship, and (2) consumers perceived both utilitarian and hedonic value in online reviews. Practitioner/Policy Implication: this study highlights the importance of online reviews in affecting the customer's online impulse buying behaviour, so brand marketers should monitor online product reviews, both positive and negative. Research limitation/Implications: First, this study only examined consumers' browsing and impulse buying behaviour toward online reviews on Instagram; thus, studies on social media platforms might have different results. Second, the antecedents of browsing are limited to the utilitarian and hedonic value of online review; other external variables could be further investigated to enrich our understanding. Lastly, this study is limited to the beauty product industry; another specific context might have a different result.

Abstract

Manuscript Type: Research Paper Research Aims: To analyze how demand, convenience, interactivity, and playfulness in short videos influence perceived enjoyment, which in turn affects hedonic motivation and impulsive repurchase intentions, both directly and indirectly.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used quantitative research with 278 respondents, analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Research Findings: Demand, convenience, and playfulness significantly enhance perceived enjoyment, while interactivity does not. Perceived enjoyment positively influences hedonic motivation, which partially mediates its effect on impulsive repurchase intention.Theoritical Contribution/Originality: This study reveals that stimuli in short video endorsements, including demand, convenience, and playfulness, significantly boost perceived enjoyment and hedonic motivation in Generation Z, influencing impulsive repurchase intentions, particularly among female consumers.Practitioner/Policy Implication: Short videos fail to capture the interactions between influencers and audiences, so brands should be cautious when using them to boost consumer loyalty. For Generation Z, impulse repurchase intention is more influenced by the short video format than by hedonic motivation, highlighting the importance of playfulness. This research offers brands valuable insights for using short videos as a promotional strategy.Research Limitation/Implications: Interactivity in short videos differs from live streaming, and the specific clothing brand used is unidentifiable, raising concerns about respondents' brand recall. Additionally, the pre-test lacked confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), did not validate wording, and removed indicators without justification. Keywords: demand, convenience, interactivity, playfulness, perceived enjoyment, hedonic motivation, impulsive repurchase intention, short video, Generation Z.

It aims to understand how fan interactions influence purchasing behavior toward celebrity-endorsed products. Design/methodology/approach: The research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze data from 1,016 respondents familiar with collaboration campaigns between Indonesian companies and K-Pop idols. It examines customer-to-customer identification (CCI), customer-to-community identification (CMI), attitudinal engagement, behavioral engagement, attitude toward brand, and attitude toward celebrity. Research Findings: The findings reveal that CCI is positively linked to CMI and enhances customer attitudinal engagement. Furthermore, CMI significantly impacts both attitudinal and behavioral customer engagement. while attitude toward celebrity predicts purchase intention, attitude toward brand does not. These results highlight the complex dynamics within K-Pop fandoms and their influence on consumer behavior. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the literature by providing a deeper understanding of distinct types of fan identification and their impacts on different forms of customer engagement. It underscores the importance of celebrity endorsements in shaping purchase intentions within the context of the Hallyu phenomenon. Practitioner/Policy Implication: The insights from this research can inform marketing strategies for companies leveraging the popularity of K-Pop idols. Marketers should focus on enhancing fan identification and engagement, particularly leveraging celebrity influence to drive purchase intentions. Research limitation/Implications: The study is limited to Indonesian fans and specific collaboration campaigns. Future research could expand to other countries and different celebrity endorsements to validate and extend the findings. Keywords: K-pop, fandom, social identification, customer engagement, purchase intention

Abstract

Manuscript type: Research paper Research Aims: This study examines the influence of influencer marketing strategies on consumer purchasing behaviour among fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs an explanatory (causal) research design. A 31-item questionnaire split into four categories was used to collect quantitative data. An online questionnaire was sent to FMCG consumers in Ghana's Greater Accra and Ashanti Regions, aged 18–48 years and older. Multiple regression analysis was performed to establish relationships between the study variables. Research Findings: The findings showed that YouTube is the most popular social media platform among Ghanaian users, according to the findings of the study. Several factors, such as attractiveness, credibility, expertise, reach, and engagement, affect the influence of Ghanaian influencers on consumer purchasing behaviour in FMCG firms. It has been demonstrated that these factors have a positive and statistically significant effect on the purchasing behaviour of customers Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study enhances the theoretical understanding of influencer marketing's efficacy and provides valuable insights for practitioners and marketers seeking to leverage influencer marketing to improve their brand's performance in the competitive FMCG market. Practitioner/Policy Implications: This study emphasises the need for strategic and authentic influencer marketing for Ghana's FMCG firms. To increase customer engagement, organisations must carefully identify influencers, emphasise trust and authenticity, improve product-related content, and encourage interactive involvement. Research limitation/implications: The concentration of FMCG firms in Ghana limits the generalisability of the study's findings to other industries or countries

Abstract

Currently cosmetic products are no longer only intended for women, but also for men. Thus, creating opportunities and a conducive environment for the emergence of new companies. With the increasing number of companies in the men's cosmetic industry today, how to build brand loyalty is one of the biggest challenges companies will face. This study aims to explore the relationship between risk aversion and brand loyalty, and test whether this relationship is mediated by brand trust and brand affect on the purchase of cosmetic and body care products by men. The selection of the sample was carried out using a purposive sampling method with 130 respondents whose criteria were male students at Ciputra University Surabaya. Data analysis used the SEM-PLS variant-based structural equation method with the SmartPLS 4 program. The results showed that risk aversion was statistically significant in influencing brand trust, brand affect, and brand loyalty. Brand trust and brand affect are also statistically significant in influencing brand loyalty. By analyzing brand loyalty and the variables that influence it, cosmetic and men's body care product companies can understand how to develop brand loyalty, especially by paying attention to the aspects of risk aversion, brand trust, brand affect, and brand loyalty.
