The Impacts of Electronic Word of Mouth on Brand Equity in the Context of Social MediaInternational Journal of Biometrics, 9
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the marketing literature regarding Islamic countries, in particular the United Arab Emirates (UAE), by assessing the impact of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on brand image and on the online purchase intentions of consumers.Design/methodology/approachUsing a descriptive research approach, this study used quantitative data to assess how the online purchase intentions of consumers in the UAE are influenced by e-WOM and brand image.FindingsE-WOM has a significant impact on online purchase intentions and brand image among consumers. Brand image significantly influences the online purchase intentions of consumers.Research limitations/implicationsThe conclusions may not be generalizable because not all areas of the UAE were represented in this study. In future studies, a larger and more inclusive sample would help to overcome this limitation.Practical implicationsThis study will help marketers to understand the power of e-WOM, an important marketing tool, and to use resources more strategically to attract new customers.Originality/valueE-WOM is the most commonly used and most effective medium of sharing opinions and reviews pertaining to various products and services in the market. Understanding how it influences the purchase intentions of consumers is imperative and has strong implications for marketers.
