Purpose: This research aims to explain the influence of social media influencer (SMI), electronic word of mouth (EWOM), and perceived quality (PQ) on purchase intention (PI) of beauty products on YouTube. Youtube as the number 1 social media in Indonesia, has an important role as a promotional strategy media for beauty products. Research design, data and methodology: This study used the online survey to 210 female respondents aged 17-30 years who became a subscriber of an Indonesian beauty influencer. Simple regression and multiple regressions were performed to analyze the independent variables towards the dependent variable. Results: The results show that social media influencer, electronic word of mouth, and perceived quality simultaneously have a significant influence on purchase intention. Nevertheless, only two variables individually have a significant influence on purchase intention, which is social media influencer and perceived quality. Conclusions: Perceived quality and social media influencer could be the best strategies to increase consumers when promoting through the influencer's Youtube channel by utilizing a subscriber. While e-WOM can be influential on other social media platforms rather than on the Youtube platform. Therefore, suggested that digital marketer must use multiple social media platforms to increase consumers' purchase intention.

본 연구는 전세계적으로 주목받고 있는 소셜 미디어 인플루언서의 국내연구 동향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국학술인용색인에 등재된 학술논문 가운데, 2009년부터 2021년까지 소셜 인플루언서를 주제로 한 논문 총 178편을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 패션 및 뷰티, 커뮤니케이션 등 특정분야에 국한되어 있던 초기 소셜 미디어 인플루언서 연구는 시간이 흐를수록 다양한 학문분야로 확장되며 양적 성장을 이루고 있었다. 실증연구의 비중은 최근 들어 높아지는 추세이며, 질적 연구방법론을 적용한 연구들은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 소셜 미디어 플랫폼의 특성은 매우 다양하고 각 플랫폼에서 활동하는 인플루언서의 유형과 속성 역시 이질적임에도 불구하고, 특정 미디어 플랫폼 및 인플루언서 유형에 대한 연구 비중은 오히려 더 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국내 소셜 미디어 인플루언서 연구의 현주소를 조망하는 첫 실증연구라는 점에서 학문적 의의를 지닌다.

As many brands use social media influencers (SMIs) on Instagram to advertise, not disclosing advertised content affects how consumers perceive these influencers. The purpose of this study was to investigate two objectives: 1) recent advertising disclosure types on Instagram and 2) the factors that affect consumer responses towards Instagram influencers posting advertised content. Using an experimental 2x2 between-subjects design (N=200), the findings show that "sponsored" and "paid partnership with" are two recent types of ad disclosures. However, both factors are insignificantly different from each other. Also, ad disclosure condition enhances the trustworthiness of the influencer than no disclosure. Ad skepticism, source credibility, and the level of persuasion strongly relate to how consumers perceive Instagram influencers advertising for brands. These factors enable consumers to assess if the influencer is a reliable source of information when faced with advertisement. Ultimately, using disclosure gives full information to consumers about the persuasive intent, as well as increases positive consumer responses towards the influencer who discloses, thereby, enhancing the ethical use of the influencer advertising strategy and long-term consumer relationship.

본 연구는 소셜미디어 인플루언서 마케팅의 효과성을 알아보기 위한 것으로 유튜브 인플루언서에 대한 지각된 사회적 거리, 진정성 및 광고태도의 관계를 분석하였다. 지각된 진정성은 인플루언서의 활동에 중요한 요소로서 협찬광고의 노출에 따른 소비자의 태도에 영향을 줄 것이며, 특히 지각된 진정성의 효과는 제품과 인플루언서 활동 간의 일치성에 의해 조건부 간접효과를 보일 것으로 가정되었다. 이를 알아보기 위해, 364명의 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 무응답 및 불성실 응답을 제외하고 340명의 데이터를 타당하게 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 인플루언서와의 사회적 거리는 지각된 진정성과 광고태도에 긍정적 영향을 주었고, 지각된 진정성은 광고태도에 직접 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 지각된 진정성은 사회적 거리와 광고태도의 관계성을 부분매개하는 효과를 보였고, 이러한 매개효과는 낮은 수준의 제품-인플루언서 일치성에서 나타나는 반면 높은 수준의 일치성에서는 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여, 인플루언서 마케팅에 대한 전략적 시사점을 논의하였다.

On the other hand, attractiveness, communication ability, and influence all showed a statistically significant positive (+) effect on information acceptance. Identification and information acceptance has s significant positive effect on purchase intention.

It has emerged Food-content among various forms of 1-person media through social media. Food-content influencer also market products through 1-person media, generating revenue through increased views and subscribers of 1-person media. It also sells products through sponsorship. In general, there is a profit structure through 1-person media viewing, but research on how restaurant companies generate profits directly through food-content is insufficient. In addition, research on converting subscribers to consumers through food-contents is minimal. In this paper, we propose an experiential application system based on the behavior of food-content creators. The proposed system collects and categorizes food-content information, and maps between highly related words to organize into keyword categories. The ontology tag-based concept network applied to the proposed system connects representative information by pre-extracting/mapping information related to information requests among a wide range of data. This method maps relevant food-content information to provide the user with data collected/storage in the form of an application. The user uses the application while watching the food eaten by the influencer and creator. And, it is meaningful that the user could be provided is provided with information about the food they want to eat.

소셜미디어의 등장과 스마트폰의 기술적 발달로 미디어 콘텐츠의 생산, 공유, 확산이 쉬워지면서 이용자들의 미디어 이용행태에는 커다란 변화가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 변화 중 우리가 주목해야 할 것은 유튜브의 공격적인 성장이다. 이러한 성장 뒤에는 크리에이터들의 적극적인 콘텐츠 생산과 이용자들의 공유행동이 있다. 최근 들어 크리에이터들은 소셜미디어 인플루언서로서 이용자들에게 막강한 영향력을 행사하게 되었으며 이들을 활용한 인플루언서 마케팅이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소셜미디어 인플루언서와 이용자들 간의 준사회적 상호작용은 동일시, 관심, 경험적 상호작용으로 세분화하고 관계는 신뢰도, 우정, 이해, 몰입으로 세분화하여 이들이 브랜드 태도와 구매 의도에 미치는 영향들을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 준사회적 상호작용인 관심과 신뢰의 관계가 브랜드 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 보였으며, 가식적이지 않은 상호작용과 우정의 관계가 구매 의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 마케팅 목표에 따라 인플루언서와 소비자들간의 상호작용 방식과 관계 유형에 적합한 커뮤니케이션을 개발해야 한다는 것을 의미한다. 더 자세한 이론적 및 실무적 함의가 논의되었다.
