Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of social media food and fashion influencers on brand credibility and consumer behavioural intention while analysing the moderation effect of e-WOM on social media influencers' credibility (SMIC) and brand credibility (BC). To accomplish this objective, the authors collected data from 208 respondents residing in India and data was analysed using EFA, CFA and SEM. Further, this study exemplified a favourable impact on brand credibility of social media food and fashion influencers and further on consumer behavioural intention. Moreover, e-WOM failed to have a moderating relationship between SMIC and BC. Further, conclusions and implications have been discussed.
