Description
Summary:The fast fashion business is becoming more reliant on social media marketing (SMM) as SMM enables larger data collection and communication between the brand and its consumers. This study investigates the impact of SMM aspects such as customization, entertainment, interactivity, trendiness, and eWOM on fast fashion’s online and offline purchase intentions (PI). Similarly, it investigates the moderating influence of culture on the factors mentioned above and the relationship’s utilitarian and hedonic reasons. Additionally, 360 responses were obtained from three countries, Morocco, Jordan, and Spain, using an online questionnaire. The findings revealed that customization, amusement, and trendiness influence offline and online PI favorably. Culture was also shown to have a moderating influence on the link between SMM components and PI. Motivations were also discovered to be a mediator between eWOM, trendiness, customization, and PI.
