Social Media Marketing Insights and Trends
Social Media Marketing Insights and Trends
LITERATURE REVIEW
Kotler and Keller (2009) argue that technology and many other factors have changed
the way consumers communicate. Extremely fast deployment of strong internet connection,
digital video recorder, cell phone, Versatile, and portable music has forced marketers to
abandon some of their traditional marketing methods.
According to (Pham & Gammoh, 2015; Yadav & Rahman; 2017b) the wide acceptance
of social media, it can be seen from the fact that 93 percent of users of this platform believe
that all companies should ensure their presence on social media. According to Barefoot and
Szabo (2010:13) in Ismail (2017) social media marketing activities are part of online marketing
activities that complement traditional web-based promotional strategies, such as e-mail
newsletters and online advertising campaigns
Social media marketing in the context of e-commerce can be defined as, “the process
by which companies create, communicate and deliver online marketing offerings through
social media platforms, to build and maintain stakeholder relationships that enhance
stakeholder value by facilitating interaction, information sharing, offering personalized buying
13
advice, and the creation of a word of mouth among stakeholders about existing and trending
products and services” (Yadav & Rahman, 2018:2). Yadav and Rahman (2017) have
categorized social media marketing activities in the form of interaction, trendiness,
information, customization, and word of mouth communication. Kim and Ko (2012) have
categorized social media marketing activities for luxury brands in the form of entertainment,
interaction, trendiness, customization, and word of mouth communication. Jo (2013) mentions
marketing activities as events, information, and advertisements on social networks.
This study adopts five indicators of social media marketing activity used by Bilgin
(2018:131-132), namely:
a. Entertainment
b. Interaction
c. Trendiness
d. Advertising
14
e. customization
According to Alafeef (2014:201) Although it is not a direct sales channel, there are
several benefits of social media that can support e-commerce, namely; promote brand
awareness, help overcome customer reluctance to buy, increase customer loyalty and provide
marketing insights.
2.1.3 Instagram
Based on Hipwee (2018) Instagram is a mobile application based on iOS, Android and
Windows Phone where users can shoot, edit and post photos or videos to the main page of
Instagram and other social networks. The shared photo or video will later appear in the feeds
of other users who are 18 followers. The friendship system on Instagram uses the term
following or follower. Furthermore, each user can interact by commenting and responding to
likes on the shared photos. Instagram was originally developed by a startup called Burbn, Inc,
which was driven by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger.
[Link] Engagement
Engagement is defined as anytime a user likes or comments on one of content
the owner posts. You can define engagement in separate ways, one specifically focused
on likes and the other for comments. It depends on your particular commercial needs.
But any interaction by other users with the photo is considered “engagement”.

2.1.4 Brand Awareness
Brand awareness is the ability of potential buyers to recognize and remember a brand
as part of a particular product category. Brand awareness requires a series of things starting
from a feeling of uncertainty that a certain brand has been known beforehand, so that consumers
believe that the product is the only brand in a particular group. Brand awareness is divided into
four stages, namely; 1) unaware of brand, 2) brand recognition, 3) brand recall and 4) Top of
Mind (Armas, 2015). Based on this statement, here are figure steps of Brand Awareness
According to Durianto (2001) the lowest level of brand awareness is brand recognition
or also known as the level of assisted recall. The next level is the level of brand recall or the
level of unassisted brand recall because consumers do not need to be helped to remember the
brand. Measurement of unaided brand recognition is more difficult than assisted brand
recognition. The assistance can be in the form of posters, videos, advertisements, banners, or
social media. The next level is the brand that is mentioned the first time at the time of brand
recognition without assistance, namely top of mind. Top of mind is the highest brand awareness
which is the leader of various brands in the minds of consumers (Tritama & Tarigan, 2016:10).

in three separate studies. This study resulted in positive cognitive attitude responses regarding
brand interactions in social media settings (Duffett, 2017).
According to (Aaker, 1996; Buil et al., 2013; Keller and Lehmann, 2003; Rubio et al.,
2014) Consumers receive brand awareness through effective marketing communication
channels such as television, mobile phones, and online advertising, which provide quality
assurance. product and its credibility to help reduce risk in product evaluation and selection
when buying a product (Sasmita & Suki, 2015). Aaker (1996) states that brand awareness
consists of four levels: brand recognition, brand recall, top of mind brand and dominant brand.
According to (Kotler, 2008) Brand image is a very core thing in the business world.
Whatever the form of business or business, brand image is very important to build to create
consumer loyalty to a business. According to (Roslina, 2010), the importance of brand image
is also supported by Roslina's opinion in the Journal of Business & Management, with the
ability to remember and have confidence about the brand, potential buyers would want to try
the products offered by the company.

2.1.6 Brand Loyalty
According to Moisescu (2014) in Jiang and Zhang (2016) brand loyalty is a significant
non-material asset for a business (Bilgin, 2018). Behavioral loyalty to a brand provides direct
revenue to businesses, while altitudinal and cognitive loyalty increases the tendency to provide
reliable recommendations to people in their environment and play an important role in
attracting new customers. Integrated communication marketing plays a very important role in
convincing consumer brand loyalty (Sasmita and Suki, 2015). According to Jagdish and Sheth
(1974) Brand loyalty is related to the repeat purchase behavior of users from time to time with
emotional, evaluative, and/or behavioral tendencies that have a positive bias towards product
choice.

2.2 Previous Research
A review has been carried out on several previous studies by analyzing the differences and similarities contained in the object of research to the
variables used in previous studies with current research, so that the results of the variables used in this study adopted the journal Bilgin (2018).
However, there are some references taken from other journals. Similarities and differences between previous and current studies are shown in
