Sosyal Medya Reklamlarına Yönelik Tutumun Marka Değeri ve Tüketici Davranışları Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Tüketicilerin sosyal ağlarda daha fazla vakit geçirmeye başlamasıyla birlikte sosyal medya platformları ticari pazarlama aracı haline gelmiştir. Özellikle sosyal medya platformlarında herhangi bir mal, hizmet veya markayla ilgili yapılan reklamlar etkili olmaya başlamıştır. Sosyal medya reklamları tüketicilerin marka değeri algısı ve tercihleri üzerinde oldukça etkili olmaya başlamış ve bu durum tüketicinin marka değeri bağlamında farkındalık, sadakat ve kalite anlamında düşüncelerini etkilemektedir. Bunun sonucunda plansız satın alma davranışı ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı tüketicilerin sosyal medya reklamlarına yönelik tutumlarının marka değeri ve tüketici davranışları üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen veriler, 10 Mart-30 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Veri analizi sürecinde araştırma kapsamında SPSS 25.0 ve AMOS 26.0 paket programları kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, tüketicilerin sosyal medya reklamlarına yönelik geliştirdikleri tutumun, marka değeri ve tüketici davranışları üzerinde pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etki oluşturduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sosyal medya reklamlarının tüketicilerin algısındaki değişimlerde belirleyici bir rol oynadığı ve bu etkinin marka değeri ile tüketici davranışları arasında olumlu bir ilişkiye işaret ettiği görülmektedir.
