How Social Media Platform Context Mediates Influencer Marketing ROI
This study investigates the role of social media platform affordances (visibility and engagement) in influencer marketing and their impact on followers' information seeking, affective relationship building (trust), and purchase intention.
- Platform Affordances Matter: Social media platforms significantly influence followers' activities and marketing outcomes in influencer marketing.
- Visibility and Engagement Drive Behavior: Affordances like product visibility, visibility control, triggered engagement, social presence engagement, and synchronous engagement all play a role.
- Social Presence is Key: Social presence engagement strongly impacts both information seeking and affective trust building, highlighting the importance of creating a sense of "being together" online.
- Affordances are Multidimensional: Visibility and engagement have various aspects (e.g., product vs. communication visibility; attentive, temporal, and sensorial engagement).
- Platform Differences Exist: Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook differ in how affordances influence follower activities, likely due to platform natures and user motives.
- Chain Reaction: Platform affordances influence follower activities (information seeking and trust), which then impact purchase intention.
- Trust and Information Seeking Mediate Purchase: Both information seeking and affective trust building partially or fully mediate the relationship between platform affordances and purchase intention.
