Vital Clues for Leveraging Word-of-mouth Marketing Through Social Media

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In collaboration with researchers in the USA and New Zealand, Dongguk University's Professor Yung Kyun Choi has identified what influences young Koreans to share advertisements (ads) on social media. Social networking users are more likely to share promotional content with close friends than the general public. And among friends, sharing is more likely for picture ads of products that might be purchased sooner or textual ads of temporally distant purchases.

For digital marketers to harness the power of social networking, it is vital to understand how to encourage communication about products, brands, and companies. Most studies of so-called "electronic word-of-mouth" (E-WOM) have focused on how it influences recipients of promotional messages. Professor Choi and his team wanted to explore why and how an individual might share promotional messages in the first place.

"We devised our study to test whether sharers consider how soon a purchase might occur," explains Professor Choi. "We also anticipated that the design of the ads, specifically whether it uses images or text, could influence whether it is shared." Since social media users can select the message recipient for their sharing behavior, the researchers focused on the effects of the strength of social ties on E-WOM.

The team selected undergraduate students to participate in their research, recognizing that social media use in Korea is highest among people in their 20s. At the start of the experiment, students read a scenario about moving either next week or next year. They were then shown furniture ads, either in pictures or words, and asked whether they were likely to recommend it to their friends and the general public via social media.

The team found that consumers were more likely to share promotional messages with their strong ties. Furthermore, purchase timing, as well as ad format, also influenced whether the user would share the message.

The study's findings provide valuable insights for marketers in the digital age. As users are more likely to share ads with friends, one strategy is to foster online communities of consumers to develop stronger relationships between them. Marketers should also focus on matching advertising designs with how soon the product might be purchased. As Professor Choi explains, "Product photos should motivate sharing for frequent and imminent purchases, whereas ads for infrequent and delayed purchases are more likely to be shared if they feature abstract text."

Appearing in the journal Internet Research, the study's contribution was recently recognized by the publisher, with Professor Choi's work being Highly Commended in the 2018 Emerald Literati Awards.

This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government (NRF-2014S1A5-A2A0101-5688).
