The most interesting elements of influencers' ads were the logic and accuracy of the information in proportions and figures about the advertised product, while the most prominent influential elements in creating a desire for the respondents were- Clarifying the price of the product in the advertisement, and the percentage of respondents who buy the advertised products (43.8%), and the lack of confidence in the products advertised by influencers is one of the most prominent reasons for not buying for them.
