Tüketiciler tarafından güvenilir ve samimi bilgi kaynakları olarak görülen bu Nüfuzlular, pazarlamacıların ağızdan ağıza reklam uygulamalarının da son dönemdeki ana aktörleridir. Sosyal ağların yepyeni bir uygulama alanı açtığı ağızdan ağıza iletişim; ürün yerleştirme taktiğiyle işlerlik, Nüfuz Pazarlaması’yla ise yaygınlık kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Mikro Moda Instabloggerlarının ürün yerleştirme uygulamalarını incelemek, uygulamanın Instagram’daki bileşenlerine dair tanımlayıcı bir çerçeve sunmak ve bu bileşenler arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koymaktır.
