Research on the Effect of Social Media Implementations for Improved Customer Relations and Services

Öz

The primary motivation of this study is to examine the increase in social media usage and the primary reasons behind it. The effects of social media implementations (SMI) on customer relations and services have been investigated in this context. Data were collected from 195 firms operating in Turkey and analyzed using regression analysis. The findings revealed that Social Media Usage (SMU) is essential to customer relations and services. Additionally, it was found that SMIs have a positive impact on improving customer relationships and that the customer engagement initiatives (CEI) and social media strategies (SMS) implemented by firms are strongly associated with improved customer relations and services (ICRS). This research is expected to contribute to the literature by analyzing the effects of social media usage at the firm level.
