Abstract

Consumers are progressively using social media networks to gain information regarding products. Word-of-mouth communication (WOM) in the online context becomes electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). eWOM is no longer subject to geographical constraints and can extend to encompass a larger audience. As a result, brands are investing additional marketing resources into social media advertising strategies, as they offer an opportunity to reach a vast audience.
