Abstract

Gelişen teknoloji sonucu yaygınlaşan internet kullanımı ile işletmeler, müşterilerine ulaşmak için farklı pazarlama kanalları ve iletişim yöntemleri kullanmaktadır. Bu pazarlama kanallarından biri de sosyal medya platformlarıdır. İşletmeler, fenomenlerle işbirliği yaparak sosyal medya araçları üzerinden ürün /marka tanıtımı faaliyetleri yürütmektedir. Sosyal medya pazarlama araçlarını kullanan tüketiciler, fenomenler aracılığıyla ürün ve hizmetlere ilişkin anlık bilgi alabilmekte, içerik oluşturmakta ve diğer kullanıcılar ile deneyimlerini yine anlık paylaşabilmektedir. Fenomen kullanımının hızla yaygınlaşması tüketicilerin marka değerini ve satın alma niyetlerini de önemli ölçüde biçimlendirmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı; sosyal medya pazarlamasında fenomenlerin online kaynak güvenilirliği boyutlarının tüketici temelli marka değeri üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığının incelenmesi ve marka değerinin satın alma niyeti üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Bu çalışmada anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini 18 yaş ve üzeri sosyal medya kullanıcıları oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem için 900 katılımcıya online ve elden anket gönderilmiştir. 812 kişi anketi cevaplamıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi için yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda online kaynak güvenilirliği boyutlarından çekicilik, güvenilirlik ve online benlik sunumunun marka değeri üzerinde olumlu yönde etkisi olduğu; yetkinlik boyutunun ise marka değeri üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın bir başka sonucu ise marka değerinin satın alma niyeti üzerinde olumlu etkisi bulunmasıdır.
