promote their products by making videos or posting pictures with their products
and recommending it to their followers. Their posts with the product attract their
followers towards the product and make them to purchase it which helps the
companies to boost up their sales through social media marketing.

The creativity of the promotion post is mostly dependent on the creative team of
the companies. But the followers of the hired influencers get more engaged when

Mega influencers are those influencers who has a 1 million or more followers
on their social media platforms. Mega influencers are considered as
celebrities and most of them gained their popularity through appearance in
movies, web series, T.V. shows, sports and music albums. From past few
years many social media users also became mega influencers through their
social media posts which consists Youtubers, Instagrammers, TikTokers
etc. Due to large fanbase or followers of mega influencers only big brands
approach them as they charge very high for their posts.

b) Macro Influencers

social media. These influencers are easy to approach compared to mega
influencers and also the optimal choices of companies as they charge less
than mega influencers with a large coverage of followers. They become an
essential asset for the company to spread awareness about their products.
However, macro influencers are found doing influencing fraud more than
any other category.

for their insight about some expert specialty. All things considered; they
have generally acquired many social media following among that specialty.
The size of their followers can be between 1k to 50k. It can be possible that
the micro influencers may not have any idea about the existence of a
company and their product before it approaches them. Micro influencers
are more popular among the Generation Z and are also considered as future
influencers.

d) Nano Influencers

The most up to date influencer-type to acquire acknowledgment is the

nano- influencer. These individuals just have few followers, yet they will in
general be specialists in an exceptionally specific field. The size of their
followers can be 1000 or may be below it but the potential and knowledge
they hold make them so effective. They are the cheapest from above all and
have a very small size in terms of followers but their numbers in the market
is very high.

2. By the type of Content

“Content is the Key”

14
a) Bloggers

Bloggers shares most dynamic and authentic relationships with their

followers and fans. Publishing content to a blog has been associated with
influencer showcasing for quite a while. There are numerous profoundly
persuasive websites on the web. On the off chance that a mainstream
blogger emphatically refers of a product in a post, it can prompt the
blogger's fans or followers needing to purchase the product. Numerous
bloggers have developed sizeable followings in explicit areas. For example,
there are profoundly compelling websites about self-awareness, wellbeing,
childrearing, music, and numerous different themes, including publishing
content to a blog itself.

If a blog is enormous, influential and powerful enough, you might have the
option to purchase a supported post on their webpage. This permits you to
either compose a post yourself or vigorously impact the blogger to
compose a post for your benefit.

youtubers, podcasters, bloggers, and other content creators. But to gain
popularity through their specific platforms can limit their fan base or
followers. To expand their followings, they also use other social media
sites and platforms to interact with their audiences. They use Facebook,
Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media platforms to interact with their
audiences with as a result increase their followings among the users of that
platforms.

platform and seeing this as an opportunity, marketers pay influencers to
make a post with their or about their products to increase the reach and

influencer. No one wants to follow a person who portrays a fake persona.
The relationship which is built between an influencer and a follower is
based upon trust. An influencer is like an idle to their followers and no one
would want their idle to be an inauthentic person. An influencer can drive
their followers to do something they tell them to do and falling into a fake

likable influencer is always a profitable asset for marketers.

and always look for an opportunity to interact with their idles. Lack of
engagement can cause losing in number of followers.

listen to them. The accuracy and knowledge of the messages
conveyed by influencers are driven by their authority makes the

control over the followers and influence them according to them.

LITRATURE REVIEW

 3. LITERATURE REVIEW

Liselot Hudders, Steffi De Jans & Marijke De Veirman, Belgium (2020), with
the help of the theoretical framework of Stern’s Revised Communication Model for
Advertising and 154 respondents stated that influencer’s effectiveness is impacted
by the content and source of message they promote with a good storytelling skill to
connect with the consumers which is an essential part of influencer marketing.

According to Collin Campbell & Justine Rapp Farrell, San Diego (2020), the
influencers are identified by 3 different components i.e., endorser, followers or
audience and the manager of their social media handles. The interplay of these
components describes their power to influence and potential as marketing tool by
conducting relevant research to strategically analyse each component.

Agafa Daniel, Finland (2020), in her study stated that the explanation for
influencer proficiency is their capacity to easily cooperate with their supporters,
bringing about making an entirely relatable, dependable and agreeable picture,
either by deliberately attempting to make that sort of picture or by naturally making
it. The consumer's viewpoint towards influencers and influencer showcasing is very
certain, even people who don't follow influencers via social media, don't consider
paid to be as a contrary component, and notwithstanding a dominant part of
respondents would at any rate consider purchasing an item or administration
through a miniature influencer.

Karina Dogra, Vienna (2019), did a comparative study between Millennial and Gen
Z in the terms of brand loyalty influenced by influencer marketing. In her study,
she stated that the promotions done by influencer affects the brand reliability of
corrective brands; in any case, there is no distinction in the effect on both
Generation Z and Millennial. SPSS IBM tool was used in which independent t-test
and general regression model test were done.

23
According to Felicia Kalu, Ireland (2019), recent male college grads are not
familiar with conventional advertising. It was affirmed that the visual content bid
them via social media and their favoured social media platform is Instagram. The
actual appearance of a social media influencer is the critical elements that impact an
Irish male millennial insight and conduct towards a social media influencer.

C. Jaya Vinoth, Dr. V. Ramesh Kuma, Thanjavur (2019), their research was
conducted in the town of Vallam with 200 respondents to analyse customer’s
attitude towards social media marketing in rural areas. With the help of descriptive
and percentage analysis they found that the techniques of marketing used by
marketers using influencers in social media plays an important role in attracting the
rural customers to buy the product.

Yi Xuan Ong & Naoya Ito, Singapore (2019), did a study on word-of-mouth
effectiveness of marketing done by social media influencers in the tourism industry
of Singapore under Hokkaido Tourism Organization. Using Structural Equation
Method and factor analysis they found that the attitude of consumers and changes
in it is the impact of social media influencer marketing which led the consumers’
travelling intentions and also their will to do word of mouth for the organization.

Ndinatsei Nathalie Mumbengegwi, Johannesburg (2019), conducted a research

to comprehend the advertisement’s impact created by influencers on consumer-
based brand value and explore shopper's eagerness to post client created content.
The researcher found that, there is an affiliation mirroring that influencer promoting
positively affects buyer-based brand value and deep connections between
influencer advertising and buyers' eagerness to posting brand advancing substance
via web- based media. The sample size of 228 was analysed with the help of
ANOVA test.

Sophia van Dam & Eva A. van Reijmersdal, Amsterdam (2019), conducted a
study on perception, behaviour and advertising literacy of adolescents on influencer’s
promotion videos on social media platforms where they found that youths are
tolerating sponsorships and show sympathy toward the influencers as opposed to
having a basic viewpoint. When a revelation upsets the equilibrium, teenagers
report opposition and negative brand assessments. The hypothetical comprehension
of teenagers' promoting education of video influencer showcasing and give viable
rules to building up revelation strategies.

24
KÁDEKOVÁ, Zdenka; HOLIENČINOVÁ, Mária, Slovak Republic (2018),
conducted a research using Dunn's Test of Contrasts, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Fisher's
Exact Test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test with a sample size of 459 respondents.
According to the study there are critical contrasts between the purchaser of X and Y
age groups in the territory of effect of influencers on shopper conduct, which
prompts distinctive showcasing opportunities in the market.

According to Vaibhavi Nandagiri, Bengaluru (2018), the positive work of a

influencer do affect the followers, as the followers sees that the influencer is a
credible source and in this way are happy to evaluate the items recommended by
them. The influencer additionally notices positive reaction from both the brands
they underwrite and from their followers. Sample size chose by her was 100
respondents between 18-21 years of age group.

Monique van Staden and Luzelle van Niekerk, SAMRA (2018), in their study,
evaluation of influencer marketing effectiveness in social media found that a brand
message will be received if there is a self-brand association which comes from
commitment with credible influencers on themes that issue, straightforwardly
affecting the general choice solace and consumer loyalty. The sample size taken
was 323 and analysed by exploratory factor analysis.

According to Mayank Yadav & Zillur Rehman (2017), the consumers utilize
social media to gather information about favoured items with the best value
alternatives. They developed a 15 item and 5-dimensional scale in order to measure
the perceived Social Media Marketing Activities. Their study revealed that the
consumers get influenced positively to purchase by perceived social media
marketing activities.

According to Xin Jean, Aifa Rozaini, Jun-Hwa & Mun Wai, Malaysia (2017),
the consumers’ intention of purchase is driven by influencers’ credibility,
attractiveness and match up with the products they are associated with. In their
study using PLS-SEM technique with 200 respondents, they found due to lack of
expertise and improper knowledge of the products they endorsed resulted in the
insignificant relationship between the credibility of influencers and the purchase
intentions of the consumers.

25
Ida Kristin Johansen & Camilla Sveberg Guldvik, Norway (2017), conducted a
research with 180 respondents to understand how customer’s buying intentions are
influenced by influencer marketing. According to the findings Influencer promoting
emphatically impacts attitude of customers and has no impact on buyer "emotional
standard". In any case, more shockingly the outcomes show that influencer
promoting has no immediate impact on shoppers buy expectation.

According to Kayleigh E. Burke, Virginia (2017), Instagram has emerged as a

potential platform for marketers to connect with the consumers. She conducted a
research with a sample size of 151 respondents where she found that the post made
by influencers on Instagram and perception of their followers towards the product
has a significant relationship with self-congruity and comparison towards the social
media influencers correlated to each other.

According to Lennart A. Braatz, Netherland (2017), Influencers can utilize two-

sided messages to keep up their dependability while organizations have an interest
in the utilization of uneven messages to expand buy aims. Consumers appear to
search for the ideal item and react ideal towards messages depicting an item all
things considered. Despite the fact that uneven messages make them doubtful, they
react with higher buy expectations to it.

According to M.C.B. Guruge, Sri Lanka (2017), Social media influencers just
influence their reliable followers or whether they likewise influence the bigger public
requirements inside and out assessment. The attributes identified with viable
influencer promoting were distinguished from various viewpoints.

According to Nausherwan Raunaque, Md. Zeeshan & Md. Azam Imam

(2016), the main factor that prevents the consumers shopping online is trust issues
Consumers were found insecure about their privacy and lack of protection policies
for consumers. Online payment system was also found a matter of concern among
the consumers. They suggested that online e-commerce companies should address
the concerns of consumers and make such regulations that could solve the
insecurities of the consumers.

26
According to Sally Dunlop, Becky Freeman & Sandra C. Jones, Australia
(2016), The close omnipresent utilization of social media among teenagers and
grown-ups makes openings for both corporate brands and wellbeing advancement
organizations to target and draw in with youth remarkably. In their study they
investigate arising proof about the degree of exposure to promoting of hurtful items
on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook and through other online platforms
and expected exposure on juvenile wellbeing.

Kassoway (2015), People follow influencers' lives in social media, and through the
right execution the influencer marketing seems like a natural part of their lives
rather than advertising, which is usually even. Influencers posting about brands and
products in their social media are usually seen as fellow online media users by their
followers and fan base, there by the message of the brands are seen as more
credible and trustworthy.

According to Wong (2014), Influencer marketing can freely be characterized as a

marketing form that distinguishes and targets people with impact over potential
buyers. However, having an impact is unmistakably more than having a lot of
followers. It is about the connection between the influencer and his or her followers
and the expertise and credibility of the influencer.

According to Safko and Brake (2009), Social media is a worldwide phenomenon

which encompasses all of the communications between people online all the ways
they participate in and share information, knowledge, and opinions while using
internet-based applications to communicate.

60
6.2 Suggestions

After doing the analysis of the responses thoroughly I think that most of the
users of the products promoted by social media influencers are overall satisfied
with the product. But there were some loose ends in the social media influencer
marketing which I found and following are the suggestion that I would like to
give-

1. The marketers should focus on increasing the variety of products as social

media marketing is emerging as a potential and trending marketing tactics
nowadays.

2. Companies should hire social media influencers with high credibility.

3. Companies must select social media influencers wisely as they are the
representatives of their company in front of a huge number of audiences.

4. Social media influencers must be educated about the products they are
promoting.

5. Influencers should do a research on the product and the company before

promoting because promoting a disingenuous product can affect their
credibility negatively.

61
 CHAPTER- 7
CONCLUSION

62
 7. CONCLUSION

After a brief analysis and study of the topic- “Consumer Perception towards the
Utility of the Products promoted by Social Media Influencer” I have come to
the following conclusion:

1. Overall, a majority of consumers said they think social media influencers

very probably promotes genuine products. Still there are a vast number of
disingenuous products social media influencers promote just to earn more
money.

2. The overall experience of the consumers from the purchase and use of
products promoted by social media influencers were good.

3. The perception of the consumers towards influencer marketing is very

critical. Mostly consumers have negative perception towards the products
and have concern about its utility and genuineness but after using them their
perception have majorly changed.

4. It is found that using genuine and valuable products have left positive impact
on the consumer’s perception.

5. Instagram and YouTube influencers were found influencing consumers the

most to make them purchase the products.

6. The main attribute of influencers which influence the consumers to make

purchase decisions is their credibility and their fan base.

63
 CHAPTER- 8
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

64
8. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

 The research will be conducted only in the city of Raipur which, I believe will
be sufficient to get a convincing amount of data and idea, but it could have
been for effective if I can include the data from other cities for a potential topic
like this.

 The study is confined to a finite period of time of almost 2 months.

 The findings of the research will be based on the information provided by the
respondents through questionnaire.

 Due to time constraints the size of the respondents will be kept 200 to 250.

 It will be a difficult task to collect data from the consumers who have
purchased any products from social media influencer marketing or at least have
some basic knowledge about social media or influencer marketing.
