The surge of social network services not only increase personal interaction online, but also creates the new relationships among corporations and their targeted customers. Therefore, marketers focus on how to use social media and communicate with people for promoting their product and service. This study thus investigates purchase intention from the social advertising and social perceptions. Furthermore, it examines the regulating effects of different social media platforms (namely Facebook and Instagram) and brand types (namely experience goods and search goods) on advertising perception, social perception, advertising response, and purchase intention. With Facebook and Instagram users who have seen advertisements on these platforms as participants, this study adopts factor analysis to confirm the aforementioned perspectives by administering a survey created on the basis of a literature review. Moreover, the causal relationships among advertisement perception, social perception, advertising response, and purchase intention are verified through partial least squares analysis. The results suggest that in social media advertising, if users have high advertising perception and social perception, their advertising response and purchase intention would be high. Regarding Facebook advertising, our analysis revealed that if users perceive “information,” “entertainment,” “credibility,” and “popularity” in advertising awareness and perceive “information availability” and “information filtering” in social awareness, the users' advertising response and purchase intention would be high. Similarly, regarding Instagram advertising, if users perceive “credibility” in advertising awareness and perceive “interactivity,” “information availability,” and “information filtering” in social awareness, the users' advertising response and purchase intention would be high. In addition, we analyzed brand type (i.e., experience goods vs search goods) and found that brand type has a moderating effect on the aforementioned relationships. Finally, on the basis of these findings, this paper presents in-depth conclusions and implications for social media advertising research and practice. |
