Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,3, Berlin School of Economics and Law, language: English, abstract: This master thesis empirically assesses the impact of the fit between digital fitness influencers and promoted brands on attitudes and purchase intentions of Instagram users. The study identifies attitudes toward source – both source credibility and source trustworthiness, attitudes towards ads and attitudes towards brands as important constructs to measure the advertising impact on attitudes. Based on a review of the existing literature regarding digital influencers and the concept 'fit', an experiment with two conditions was conducted via independent online surveys. They were carried out to members of online fitness forums and communities and fitness groups on social network sites. Data collected from 109 respondents in survey A and 110 in survey B was analyzed and tested using unpaired 2-sided tests. The empirical study reveals the relevance of influencer-/brand fit. The results confirm that the impact on all tested constructs is significantly more positive for the test group exposed to the survey including a post of a digital fitness influencer with a high perceived influencer-/brand. The findings require further confirmation in other settings and industry sectors before they can be generalized, but offer helpful new insights to better allocate efforts and resources to effectively manage the collaboration with digital influencers. A high influencer-/brand fit serves as a key driver for advertising effectiveness of influencer marketing.

Download or read book The Impact of Instagram Micro Influencers on the Buying Decision of Generation Z towards Fitness Products written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,0, Reutlingen University (ESB Business School), language: English, abstract: With fitness being a huge topic over the last couple of years, many fitness brands started collaborating with fitness-influencers on social media platforms. Especially micro-influencers on Instagram have gained attention in the previous years since they show high engagement rates and are perceived as credible sources of information. Particularly for young consumers, micro-influencer marketing has turned out to be an effective and contemporary brand communication strategy. The present bachelor thesis gives an overview of the effects of Instagram micro-influencers on the buying decision. Here, the impact on Generation Z towards fitness products was examined with an extensive literature review and a quantitative study in the form of an online survey. With the results of the study, insights on the relationship between fitness-related micro-influencers and Generation Z ́s buying decision could be gained. Although social media and fitness-related micro-influencers play an essential part in the worldwide growth of the fitness industry, there is a dearth of research about their relationship with the buying decision of consumers. Especially for product managers in the health and fitness industry, it can be beneficial to understand these connections to better leverage influencer dynamics in their social media strategies. Moreover, there is a lack of studies focussing on the implications of these micro-influencers on Generation Z specifically. Generation Z consumers are the most digital and most reliant in terms of influencer recommendations. As emerging adults in their developmental stage, they can still be influenced in terms of their fitness habits. Therefore, brands and businesses in the fitness sectors can profit from understanding their buying behavior, which allows them to adapt their influencer marketing campaigns accordingly. Finally, it cannot be disregarded that fitness is an issue that people will always be concerned with since it strongly affects their well-being. Against this background, this study aims to approach the following research question: How do micro-influencers on Instagram affect the purchasing decision of Generation Z towards fitness products?

Then, I conducted a survey to investigate Instagram users' motivations for following an influencer and making a purchase based on the influencers' recommendations.

Download or read book Brand Admiration written by C. Whan Park and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brand Admiration uses deep research on consumer psychology, marketing, consumer engagement and communication to develop a powerful, integrated perspective and innovative approach to brand management. Using numerous real-world examples and backed by research from top notch academics, this book describes how companies can turn a product, service, corporate, person or place brand into one that customers love, trust and respect; in short, how to make a brand admired. The result? Greater brand loyalty, stronger brand advocacy, and higher brand equity. Admired brands grow more revenue in a more efficient way over a longer period of time and with more opportunities for growth. The real power of Brand Admiration is that it provides concrete, actionable guidance on how brand managers can make customers (and employees) admire a brand. Admired brands don't just do the job; they offer exactly what customers need (enabling benefits), in way that's pleasing, fun, interesting, and emotionally involving (enticing benefits), while making people feel good about themselves (enriching benefits). Providing these benefits, called 3 Es, is foundational to building , strengthening and leveraging brand admiration. In addition, the authors articulate a common-sense and action based measure of brand equity, and they develop dashboard metrics to diagnose if there are any 'canaries in the coal mine', and if so, what to do next. In short, Brand Admiration provides a coherent, cohesive approach to helping the brand stand the test of time. A well-designed, well-managed brand becomes a part of the public consciousness, and ultimately, a part of the culture. This trajectory is the fruit of decisions made from an integrated strategic standpoint. This book shows you how to shift the process for your brand, with practical guidance and an analytical approach.

Despite the increasing popularity of influencer marketing on Instagram, research has been limited.

Then it attempts to investigate the credibility of Instagram influencers in the eyes of male and female users, and evaluates the differences in both genders on the criteria that they decide to follow influencers. This study also evaluates purchase intention of Instagram users based on the product advertisements by influencers to see whether dimensions of source credibility positively impact users' intent to purchase.

Book excerpt: "Instagram influencer marketing is one of the fastest growing trends in advertising. Part of what makes influencers so powerful is their ability to foster parasocial relationships with their followers. But does this relationship change when an influencer becomes affiliated with brands? This study assessed how brand promotions affect follower engagement with influencer posts through the lens of source credibility theory. A quantitative content analysis was performed on 100 fitness influencer posts and their comments (N = 7,716) to determine if followers interact differently with sponsored and organic posts. Significant differences in follower engagement and sentiments were found between sponsored and organic content. The researcher also conducted interviews with ten Instagram fitness influencers and found that influencers notice these effects and take steps to mediate them. These findings can benefit influencers and brand managers by providing them with some best practices for keeping engagement up during influencer campaigns. It also provides us with a greater understanding of the power of online communities and their influence on consumer opinion."--Abstract.
