Description
Summary:Nowadays, there is a wide range of influencers that can be chosen as a promotion agent in conducting product endorsements through social media. Hence, it could be a challenge for businesses to choose the appropriate influencer to promote their products, including Muslim fashion business. This research aims to find out whether an influencer who wears hijab in Muslim fashion product endorsement through social media looks favorable to Muslim consumers, as well as whether the hijab worn by the influencer affect purchase intention. The data for this research is collected through online survey with 212 Muslim women respondents. The data that has been collected is then analyzed with PLS-SEM in order to determine the relationship between the research variables. The result shows that perception towards appearance (hijab) has a positive influence on the attractiveness, trustworthiness, and expertise of an influencer. Both trustworthiness and expertise is also found to have a positive influence on consumer attitude, which leads to a positive influence towards purchase intention. However, the result of this study shows that both perception towards appearance (hijab) and attractiveness do not have significant influence towards consumer attitude. The findings of this research are expected to provide insights for future researchers and Muslim fashion product marketers regarding the perception of consumers towards Muslim fashion product endorsement through social media, as well as which influencers that should be chosen to promote Muslim fashion products through social media.
