Full textAbstract:
This study explores the dynamic realm of influencer marketing, a transformative force in contemporary digital marketing. Influencer marketing harnesses the power of social media influencers (SMIs) to endorse products, services, or causes, reshaping the consumer-brand relationship. Despite extensive research in this field, a critical aspect remains underexplored: the factors and processes influencing follower engagement. The study utilizes a qualitative research approach, employing triangulation to synthesize existing literature and conduct focus group discussions. This study introduces an integrative framework encompassing "Influencer Content Characteristics," "Source Characteristics," and "Psychological Characteristics." These dimensions shed light on the multifaceted influencer marketing landscape, providing insights into how influencers shape trust, connections, and persuasive impact. The study offers a deeper understanding of follower engagement, empowering marketers to craft more effective influencer strategies in the ever-evolving digital sphere. As the global influencer marketing industry continues its meteoric rise, this research becomes increasingly pertinent, forecasting a promising future for influencer marketing's role in brand engagement and consumer decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze how positive behaviors toward influencers (customer interaction) and promoted products (looking for product information) can be achieved, taking into account influencer–product fit, in a fashion marketing campaign. In addition, account following and product involvement are examined as possible moderators in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach The data were gathered from online participants. The participants were Instagram users who already knew a popular influencer on the platform. The experimental design manipulated the types of picture posted by the influencer to observe customers’ reactions in terms of intention to interact with the influencer’s account and to look for further information about promoted products. Findings The authors’ findings suggested that influencer–product matches in posts on Instagram encourage users to search for information about promoted products but do not affect their intention to interact with influencers’ accounts. Nevertheless, customers’ reactions toward an influencer’s posts differ based on whether they are followers of the influencer and whether they are highly or lowly involved with the promoted product. Practical implications Both brands and influencers should properly manage influencer marketing actions. Brands should control influencers’ audiences and their involvement with featured products so that they are seen to promote them in a natural way. Influencers should endorse branded products that fit their own style; this will increase the interaction on their accounts. Originality/value This research contributes to a better understanding of how users can be encouraged to undertake positive online actions as regards influencers (interaction with their accounts) and promoted products (information search) in influencer marketing campaigns.

Full textAbstract:
The number of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia reached 64,194,057 units in 2018 and made a good impact on Indonesia’s economy. However, it turns out that SMEs face various problems, such as business strategy, marketing, and branding. Only 12% of SMEs currently use digital as one of their platforms and most of these businesses are still in stagnant condition. Currently, SMEs are starting to use influencers as their marketing strategy on Instagram. However, it is difficult to find a suitable influencer for their product or service due to so many influencers with various categories. The market potential in this field is quite high considering that Indonesia has the largest number of social media users in the world, especially Facebook and Instagram. Globally 5-10 billion USD marketing is done through influencer marketing in 2020, 65% of companies plan to use more influencer marketing and 92% of customers trust personal recommendations more than conventional advertising. An analysis was conducted of the selection of Instagram influencers on the brand campaign in Indonesia through a case study from IAM.ID. This company provides solutions in the fields of influencer marketing and technology with influencers data analytics. IAM.ID services include content creations, endorsement, store visits, and influencer’s community. In this research, the hypothesis is based on the level of engagement and influencer category. Influencers are considered more effective if they match the advertised brand. Influencer data analytics are obtained from engagement rate (ER) influencers, the number of followers, influencer categories, and content analysis. Brand analysis is obtained from brand preferences obtained through questionnaires. Then a correlation analysis was carried out on the ER campaign and the result was that both the number of followers and ER influencers had a strong relationship to the ER campaign. Besides, the suitability of the influencer category can also be checked using content analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Influencer marketing involves companies working with online influencers to promote their products. Other influencer marketing collaborations are less concrete; influencers have massive online and social media followings. Some people have hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of followers. It is still likely that many of them will appear to be ordinary people. They may have just a thousand followers, or even fewer in some cases. Nevertheless, they will have established their reputation as industry experts. Depending on their field of expertise, these are the ones who produce the most interesting social postings. They publish the most beautiful content and create the most exhilarating movies, and host the most interesting and informative online debates. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how popular Instagram influencers are, to study the efficiency of influencer marketing in promoting a certain product, and its future in the marketing sector. In addition, the study attempts to investigate customers' review behaviours, desired qualities of influencers, and the reasons behind their activities. We used an objective technique with qualitative and quantitative data to achieve the goal of this study. The information was acquired through a questionnaire and Interviews with the influencers. Influencer marketing is most effective when top influencers and story specialists are seen to be trustworthy. Furthermore, it was discovered that influencers have significant influences on consumer behaviour when it comes to information search and alternative recognition.

The exploration of social media among Gen Z has promoted the development of influencer marketing in emerging markets. This study aims to determine how influencer marketing would impact Vietnamese Gen Z consumer’s purchase intention. This study employed quantitative research and used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to analyze the data. The data collection process is conducted online with a sample size of 250 Gen Z respondents. The respondents are aware of the impacts of influencer marketing on their purchase intention. The respondents are exposed to influencer marketing on social media and had experiences with online shopping. The study analyzes five factors that would influence Gen Z’s consumer purchase intention: perceived influencers’' credibility (CRE), the relevance between products and customers (RE), the entertainment value of influencers' content (ENT), perceived expertise of influencers (EXP) and peer’s review and recommendation (PEER). This study's findings concluded that 4 out of 5 factors had influenced Gen Z purchase intention: perceived influencers' credibility, the entertainment value of influencers' content, perceived expertise of influencers, and peer's review and recommendation. There is no statistical evidence to conclude that the relevance between products and customers (RE) impacts Vietnamese Gen Z’s consumer purchase intention. Remarkably, peer’s review and recommendation (PEER) is the most vital factor impacting Vietnamese Gen Z's consumer purchase intention. Managerial recommendations are provided to improve influencer marketing's effectiveness on purchase intention among Vietnamese Gen Z consumers.

The purpose of this research is to identify how influencer marketing can influence buying behavior of the consumers. To find out the same, primary data collection method was followed in this research work. Sample size was 66 however, 50 complete responses were received. From the responses it was found that most some participants directly buy products recommended by influencers while most of them check reviews about that product before buying it. Some consumers compare recommended products with other products before buying and some consumers check the price before buying. Therefore, from this information it can be concluded that influencers can positively influence buying behavior of the consumers. However, several factors affect this. For example, higher number of followers ensures that an influencer influences consumer. However, if influencers are paid for product promotion, then it cannot influence consumer buying behavior. On the other hand, area of expertise of the influencers also plays a major role in influencing buying behavior of the consumers. Besides, if an influencer is from a same country with the followers, then the influencers can easily influence their buying behavior.Keywords: Influencer marketing, consumer buying behavior, consumer-buying process, buying behavior of followers

In the era of digital marketing, social media influencers have emerged as powerful catalysts shaping consumer behaviour and brand perceptions. This study investigates the impact of Instagram influencers endorsed by Nike on consumer behaviour in India, focusing on brand perceptions, attitudes, purchase decisions, and brand loyalty. Through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and content analysis, data was collected from 150 participants representing diverse demographic segments. Key findings reveal that exposure to Instagram influencers positively influences consumer perceptions of Nike, leading to improvements in brand familiarity, image, trust, purchase intent, loyalty, and perceived quality. Participants exposed to influencers demonstrated higher purchase intentions and were more likely to consider and purchase Nike products compared to unexposed participants. Additionally, Nike's influencer marketing strategies significantly contributed to fostering brand loyalty, with influencer engagement, brand authenticity, customer satisfaction, and loyalty programs emerging as key predictors. Content analysis of influencer posts revealed predominant themes such as product features, lifestyle imagery, user testimonials, and promotional offers, highlighting the diverse strategies employed by influencers to engage their audience and promote Nike products. Sentiment analysis of participant comments indicated predominantly positive sentiment towards influencer content, underscoring its effectiveness in eliciting favorable reactions from consumers. This study contributes to the literature by advancing theoretical understanding, providing methodological insights, and offering practical implications for marketers. Recommendations for future research include exploring cross-cultural variations, conducting longitudinal studies, employing experimental designs, and addressing ethical considerations in influencer marketing practices. By embracing these recommendations, researchers can further enrich our understanding of influencer marketing dynamics and its implications for brands and consumers in the digital age. Keywords: Social media influencers, Instagram, Nike, consumer behavior, brand perceptions, purchase decisions, brand loyalty, influencer marketing.

Abstract: In the digital era, influencer marketing and user-generated content (UGC) have significantly transformed marketing strategies, particularly affecting millennials' purchasing decisions. This research delves into the impact of these digital marketing strategies on millennials, focusing on the importance of trust, authenticity, and the integration of influencer marketing with UGC. Influencers, due to their perceived credibility and relatability, play a pivotal role in shaping consumer behavior, but their influence depends heavily on the authenticity of their endorsements. Similarly, UGC contributes to shaping consumer perceptions through genuine expressions of consumer experiences, highlighting the value of transparency and community in digital marketing. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, analyzing the responses of millennials to influencer marketing and UGC, and presents an integrated view of how these strategies influence purchasing decisions. The findings underscore the necessity for brands to forge authentic partnerships with influencers, emphasize storytelling, and actively engage with and promote UGC to resonate with millennials. Integrated marketing campaigns that effectively blend the persuasive power of influencers with the authenticity of UGC have been shown to generate curiosity, trust, and excitement among millennials, although skepticism remains a challenge due to concerns over authenticity. This research contributes to the evolving landscape of digital marketing strategies, offering insights into the complex web of influences that shape millennials' consumer behavior. It highlights the need for marketers and brands to navigate the intricacies of trust, authenticity, and community engagement in a digital context, providing a roadmap for effectively leveraging influencer marketing and UGC to engage the millennial audience.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, influencer marketing has taken over traditional brand advertisements on social media platforms, combining word-of-mouth marketing with celebrity endorsements. However, there has been limited academic research on the key success factors in influencer marketing. This paper used a hybrid MCDM model that integrates the Delphi method and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach. Through a two-stage empirical study, the research aims to explore the crucial success factors in influencer marketing. This study focuses on the Taiwanese market. The target respondents for the survey are consumers in Taiwan who have purchased products or services based on recommendations from key opinion leaders (KOLs) or internet celebrities. This systematic research framework not only pinpoints key factors that capture consumer attention towards influencers, but it also illustrates the inter-relationship of structure and improvement directions among these factors. According to results, the key factors include influencer reputation, credibility, degree of key opinion influence, attractiveness, popularity, consistency between influencers and brands, fan engagement level, and informativeness. Finally, businesses can consider five aspects to be the purpose of collaboration, product type, target audience for the product, characteristics of the influencer’s creative content, and media attributes. By comprehensively considering these aspects, businesses can determine the appropriate format for collaborative content. This decision can then guide how influencers communicate with consumers, effectively conveying brand information to the relevant target audience. The research findings provide fresh and significant insights in the field of influencer marketing studies.

Full textAbstract:
Since influencer marketing has become an essential marketing method, influencer fraud behavior such as buying fake followers and engagements to manipulate the popularity is under the spotlight. To address this issue, we propose a multi-task audience evaluation model that can assess both the loyalty and authenticity of influencers’ audiences. More specifically, the proposed model takes engagement information of an influencer’s audience, including likes and comments on social media posts, and predicts (i) the retention rate of the audience of the influencer and (ii) how the influencer is associated with fake audiences (or engagement bots). To learn the social interaction between influencers and their audiences, we build multi-relational networks based on the diverse engagement behavior such as commenting. Our model further utilizes the contextualized information captured in user comments to learn distinct engagement behavior of genuine and fake users. Based on the predicted loyalty and authenticity scores, we rank influencers to find those who are followed by loyal and authentic audiences. By using a large-scale Instagram influencer-audience dataset which contains 14,221 influencers, 9,290,895 audiences, and 65,848,717 engagements, we evaluate ranking performance, and show that the proposed framework outperforms other baseline methods.

In today's digital era, social networking influencers' (SMIs) ability to drive consumer purchase behaviour has become a focal point of interest. Despite the widespread utilisation of SMIs in marketing, there is a need to comprehend how their varied characteristics impact consumers' purchasing inclinations. This study seeks to address this gap, focusing on the role of influencer credibility as a novel and effective brand marketing strategy. This paper proposes a dual-route effect framework that explores the relationship between influencer credibility, customer engagement, and trust. This framework suggests that audience engagement with an influencer's content bolsters the source's credibility based on the strength of the relationship with the influencer, thereby enhancing the brand's credibility. The audience's immersion in the influencer's content elevates the appreciation of brand content. Expert impressions and bite-sized video content can foster trust and generate interest among target audiences. The proposed framework provides a base for future researchers to delve deeper into the dynamics of influencer marketing. The study also explores other possible mediating and moderating variables that could further explain the relationship between influencer credibility and purchase intention. From a managerial perspective, this paper's insights shed light on how influencer credibility can be effectively leveraged as a brand marketing strategy. The dual-route effect framework proposed provides a roadmap for enhancing brand credibility and customer trust through strategic influencer marketing. This study adds to the growing body of literature on influencer marketing, focusing on influencer credibility. The proposed framework offers a novel perspective on how audience engagement with influencer content can indirectly strengthen brand credibility and drive purchase intentions.

Influencer marketing is a marketing method that more and more companies are using when it comes to marketing brands. The purpose of the study has been to gain a deeper understanding of how social media influencers affect consumers' buying behavior. To understand this, consumers' attitudes and confidence in the phenomenon have been relevant factors to examine. The study also aimed to find out whether Word of Mouth (WoM) or social media influencers have the greatest impact on consumers' buying behavior. The results have shown that social media influencer's impact on consumers' buying behavior depends on whether attitudes are positive or negative. Consumers with positive attitudes towards social media influencers have a greater tendency to acquire what is marketed in comparison with consumers who have negative attitudes towards social media influencers, who instead refrain from buying. Factors that increase confidence in social media influencer are whether the consumer feels connected, honesty and that social media influencer in markets products / services within its area of expertise. What has been shown to play a significant role when it comes to influencing consumers' buying behaviors and attitudes is what the environment's perceptions, opinions and experiences about the phenomenon look like WoM. It has emerged that the respondents have a greater confidence in their surroundings than they have in social media influencers. This study will adopt a qualitative approach towards collection and analysis of data. Hence this study will investigate influencer marketing from a consumer perspective through a qualitative method with the help of semi-structured interviews. The researcher will conduct a minimum of 5 semi-structured interviews and analyze the data to formulate the required findings of this study.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to examine a two-way interaction between social influencers’ number of followers (micro vs meso) and argument quality (weak vs strong) on consumers’ self-reported and brain responses to advertising posts on Instagram. Further, drawing upon source credibility theory and contemporary theories of persuasion, the Instagram users’ perceptions of the influencer’s credibility are predicted to mediate the hypothesized effects. Design/methodology/approach Through an online (N = 192) and a lab study (N = 112), the authors examined Instagram users’ responses to an advertising post from Instagram influencers in terms of perceived source credibility and electronic word-of-mouth intention, using validated multi-item scales from existing literatures and electroencephalogram (EEG) measures. The hypotheses were tested with a 2 (type of influencer: micro vs meso) × 2 (argument quality: weak vs strong) between-subject design using mediated moderated linear regression analysis. Findings The results highlight that meso-influencers are perceived as a credible source of information only when their product-related post provides strong argument quality. Moreover, this process involves an increase in users’ cognitive work (measured with EEG), with possible implications on marketing communication strategies and online message design. Research limitations/implications The limitations of the work can serve as ideas for future research. First, this study did not account for the influencer’s relevance and resonance. Second, the authors studied consumer responses to online communication produced by Instagram influencers within a single product category. Another important product type distinction that requires further attention is between hedonic and utilitarian products. Finally, the two studies only used positive review content. Further research should study how consumers evaluate the source credibility of a micro- vs meso-influencer when they are exposed to negative reviews containing weak vs strong arguments. Practical implications The results suggest that marketers should carefully consider Instagram influencers based on the trade-offs between credibility and reach. Specifically, micro-influencers are perceived as more credible sources of information than meso-influencers, which means that they have greater potential to affect Instagram users’ behavior. Moreover, the results suggest that meso-influencers should leverage argument quality to enhance their credibility and draw greater positive outcomes for the products and brands they endorse. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate how the interaction between the type of social media influencer and the argument quality affects consumers’ self-reported and brain responses to advertising posts on Instagram. Moreover, using neuroscience, this study aims to shed light on the neurophysiological processes that drive consumer responses to product-related communication posted by different influencer types.

The aim and objective of the authors is to explain and analyse the effect on business-to-business sector through nano influencer marketing. The authors explain about how companies can use nano-influencers for cracking a deal or selling products between two companies. Many companies do not use nano influencers for selling their brand products, but as everybody knows how important loyalty and a good engagement rate these influencers have with their customers are, one can consider and implement the same in the business as well. In this the authors have been done based on the interview method through telephonic calls, where the researchers interviewed the clients of serval reputed companies and collected their feedback on their sayings. The researchers have asked the clients several questions related to their marketing strategies, what do they think about influencer marketing and will they allow nano influencers to sell the products to other business companies.

This research aims to get a conceptual knowledge of influencer marketing, as well as its relationship with emotional marketing. Emotional marketing is considered a component of influencer marketing, since customers form an emotional connection with the influencers. An analysis has been conducted to investigate the level of emotional connection that may be formed between influencers and customers across many categories, including nano influencers, micro influencers, and celebrities. Influencers use several methods such as authenticity, narrative, engagement, and interaction to control customers’ purchasing attitude and intention. These strategies enable influencers to develop an emotional connection with consumers. These strategies assist in quantifying the influence on customers by analysing their purchases. The future trajectory of marketing, with a focus on the integration of AI, has been thoroughly examined, along with a comprehensive analysis of the potential impact of influencer marketing.

Influencer marketing is a dynamic digital strategy that leverages social media influencers to promote products or brands to a targeted audience. It has evolved with the rise of platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, providing individuals a stage to build substantial followings. Brands now collaborate with influencers to connect authentically with their demographics. Over time, influencer marketing has progressed from endorsements to include sponsored content, product placements, and influencer-generated material, emphasizing authenticity and trust in influencer selection. The objective of this review is to explore the dynamics of influencer marketing, from its evolution to its ethical considerations, effective campaign crafting, risk mitigation, and future trends, emphasizing its significance in the digital age. In the influencer marketing landscape, there are various influencer types, including celebrities, micro-influencers, and nano-influencers. Celebrities offer broad reach but may lack personal connection, while micro-influencers engage specific niche audiences, and nano-influencers have hyper-local, engaged communities. Crafting effective influencer campaigns entails defining clear objectives, selecting the right influencers, creating engaging content, implementing a multi-channel approach, and fostering audience engagement. Measuring success beyond vanity metrics focuses on quantifiable outcomes for a more accurate evaluation. Mitigating risks involves addressing authenticity, regulatory compliance, audience relevance, content quality, metrics, scalability, and potential negative publicity, ensuring successful influencer partnerships. Future trends include virtual influencers and AI-driven campaigns, with influencer marketing evolving toward authenticity and long-term partnerships.

With the continuous development of digital business, influencer marketing has gradually become a regular marketing strategy. In this marketing context, on the one hand, influencers play an indispensable role in recommending products and delivering information to consumers, and on the other hand, the proportion of the information released by influencers on consumers' purchasing intention has gradually increased, and more consumers are willing to trust the information recommended by influencers and thus generate corresponding consumption behaviours. Therefore, how information from influencers can contribute to the development of influencer marketing has become a focus of attention in both academia and industry. This study confirms the positive effect of consumers’ perceived information characteristics on purchase intention in influencer marketing through empirical experiments and reveals the mediating role of information credibility in it. Furthermore, the relationship between information credibility and consumers’ purchase intention was moderated by parasocial relationship. These findings point to the importance of information characteristics in influencer marketing with a view to providing some references for the enhancement of consumers’ purchase intention in influencer marketing.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in digital advertising through influencers being active on many social media platforms. Budgets for influencer marketing rise yearly, and the return on investment from influencer marketing is higher than from other marketing channels. Therefore, influencer marketing is here to stay, and the pandemic has turned many customers online. Nowadays, customers most often collect information regarding products or services from influencers. The factors that may affect customers' purchase decisions are seen in influencers' credibility and advertising disclosure. A systematic literature review was done to provide an overview of the related influencer marketing field and the impact of advertising disclosure and source credibility on purchase intention. The terms ("Purchase intention") and ("influencer credibility" OR "source credibility" and “advertising disclosure”) were used to collect data. The papers were reviewed to determine how influencer credibility and advertising disclosure impact customer purchase behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Influencer marketing is a kind of marketing across social media platforms involving endorsements, recommendations, support, and product placement from influencers. Influencers are usually people online that have a large following on social media and use this identity to influence the opinions and behaviours of their audience. Influencer marketing is a powerful tool to reach the people in this generation, and that can also be used to promote sustainable lifestyles and consumer behaviour. Influencers have the potential and effectiveness to alter consumer mindsets. When influencers promote sustainable products and practices, they can reach a large audience and positively impact the environment. Although the effectiveness of influencer marketing depends on some factors including the credibility and trustworthiness of the influencer, the content of the message given by them, and the target audience, the impact nevertheless is huge. This study uses a survey questionnaire to gather data on 200 consumers in India. The primary responses were collected all over India using a structured questionnaire consisting of questions to understand consumer behaviour, sustainability, and the role of an influencer marketer. It examines influencer marketing exposure, purchase behaviour, and brand perception. The review of literature for this topic focuses on the impact of influencer marketing on sustainable lifestyles and consumer behaviour between 2000-2023. There are certain challenges and ethical implications concerning influencer marketing that are explored in the paper, along with people's responses and acceptability towards a sustainable lifestyle. The empirical study also focused on the effectiveness of influencer marketing in promoting sustainable lifestyles and consumer behaviours. Influencer marketing can be a valuable tool for promoting sustainable lifestyles and consumer behaviour in this generation. Incorporating influencer marketing as a tool has two faces and it is essential to understand both aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Influencer marketing is a new and emerging marketing strategy that can help brands overcome the challenge of creating awareness for their products or services in the digital era. A study using a mixed-methods approach found that influencer marketing is an effective way to increase brand awareness among consumers. The survey results showed that 70% of consumers were more likely to be aware of a brand if they had seen it promoted by an influencer. The secondary research results also revealed that influencers believe that influencer marketing is a powerful tool for building brand awareness. They reported that their followers are more likely to remember and trust brands that they see promoted by influencers. The study concludes that influencer marketing is a promising new frontier for brand awareness in the digital era. However, it is important to note that influencer marketing is not a magic bullet. Brands need to carefully select influencers who have a relevant audience and who are able to create engaging content. In addition, brands need to track the results of their influencer marketing campaigns to ensure that they are getting a return on their investment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of the type of disclosure used by social media influencers on consumer evaluations of influencer transparency, product performance expectations and how those factors ultimately influence purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach An experiment was conducted with 321 participants recruited from MTurk to test a moderated serial-mediation model. Findings The results indicate that when consumers become cognizant that an influencer’s branded promotional post may have been motivated by an underlying financial relationship, they evaluate the influencer as significantly less transparent if a more ambiguous disclosure is used relative to a clearer disclosure. Transparency perceptions of the influencer impact consumers’ perceptions of product efficacy as well as purchase intentions. Originality/value Social media influencers are rapidly emerging as a popular marketing tool for brand managers, but consumer response to this form of promotion is not well understood. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate how the type of endorsement disclosure used by a social media influencer impacts consumer perception of influencer transparency, product efficacy and purchase intentions. Further, this research demonstrates the applicability of the persuasion knowledge model in the domain of influencer marketing.

Influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular tool for promoting tourism, but the use of this strategy in Libya is not well understood and it is not widely implemented. The current study is meant to investigate the existing situation of influencer marketing in the tourism industry in Libya, a country that is currently facing political and economic challenges after the Arabic spring. A qualitative research design was used, with the utilization of online interviews as the primary source of data collection. The participants in the study were selected through a random sampling technique and included two travel influencers, two tourism professionals, and four travel agency managers. The interviews were conducted in the form of online video meetings which they were held through the google meet application and the data collected was scrutinized and then grouped accordingly using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the current use of influencer marketing in promoting tourism in Libya is limited. Some participants reported that they have not yet implemented influencer marketing in their tourism promotions, while others have recently begun working with a few travel influencers on Instagram. The study also found that the main challenges faced by participants in implementing influencer marketing in their tourism promotions are identifying the right influencers and measuring the success of influencer marketing campaigns. Participants reported difficulties in finding influencers with a large following who are also knowledgeable about and passionate about Libyan tourism. This aligns with the literature which indicates that recognizing suitable influencers is one of the main challenges of influencer marketing.

Companies currently depend on influencers to send their marketing messages to the audience, and to increase the marketing ROI, it is important to target the right influencers.
Purpose: This research focused on social media influencers’ impact on consumer purchase intent and showed whether gender difference of consumers or influencers had any effect on those decisions. The research also included the age of consumers and the product type to know if they had any effect.
Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to obtain the required information; two focus groups were conducted to get the names of 80 influencers, and an online questionnaire was used to collect the data, formula of the sample size by Krejcie and Morgan (1970 as cited by Kasomo, 2001) was used to determine study sample of 387 respondents.
Results: The results indicated that male influencers impact male consumers more than female consumers, while female influencers impact female consumers more than male consumers. Age of consumer does not affect the gender-based impact results. In addition, the results indicate that only few influencers have more impact on specific product type, thus, influencer’s impact based on product type is not so common.
Recommendations: It is recommended for the companies to find influencers who are having a lot of impact on a specific product type that matches the product they want to promote, and to select the influencer based on the customers they are targeting, if companies are targeting female customers, they should look for popular female influencer, and if they are targeting male customers, they should look for popular male influencer.

Fashion retailers are increasingly using influencer marketing to build a consumer-brand relationship. However, influencer marketing remains an understudied area, and choosing from among traditional attractive celebrity influencers and expert influencers remains a conundrum for marketers. Hence, this research examines the comparative effectiveness of an attractive celebrity influencer, vis-à-vis an expert influencer on online consumer-brand engagement, further resulting in an online impulse purchase. The moderating role of impulse buying tendency between online consumer-brand engagement and online impulse purchase is also examined. Using survey data from respondents following fashion influencers, the author tested the proposed hypotheses using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that attractive celebrity influencers exhibit a significant effect on online consumer-brand engagement, which further leads to online impulse purchase. The findings also establish the moderating effect of impulse buying tendency and the mediating role of online consumer-brand engagement.
