Fashion, SNS, Behavior
Research Description:
It has often been observed that fashion designers use traditional modes, such as the red carpet, ramp walks and celebrity endorsed promotional campaigns, to attract the potential fashion customers. However, today numerous new and fresh fashion graduates have jumped into this industry, to give tight competition to the old and well-established ones. In this hyper-competitive environment, fashion leaders are moving forward and looking beyond the traditional modes of marketing to sustain, maintain and expand their market share. Nowadays, an extensively adopted marketing mode, by the global corporate sector, is social media.
Research Goals:
The proposed research will explore the relationship between fashion leaders and the usage of social media by them. The goals of the research are as follows:
To explore literature on the proposed relationship
1. To explore the proposed relationship through quantitative methods and tests.
2. To identify the factors that either force or hinder the fashion leaders to use or decline social media.
3. To make suggestions to the new players in the fashion industry, on the basis of research findings.
Research questions:
Is there any relationship between fashion leaders and usage of social media?
Significance of the study:
Social media has been widely adopted as the channel for real-time interaction with the customers and to get them engaged with the company. From a small retailing store to the high-profile company, every business has jumped into the world of social media to get closer to its customers and to better understand their demands. Fashion industry is highly sensitive to the newly prevailing trends and ever changing customer needs and wants. Fashion leaders need to identify, explore and meet the needs of their customers. Social media may be the potential tool, of fashion leaders, for real-time communication with the customers. This study is important as it will explain whether new and upcoming fashion companies should adopt social media as their marketing and customer communication tool, to get similar success as of fashion leaders or not? The study will also highlight hidden cons in the social media usage by the fashion industry, to give practical suggestions to the fashion companies’ managers and marketers.

Topic: “The Effect of Social Media Marketing On Business Growth and Prosperity”
Introduction
Since early 2000s, businesses have seen the need of utilizing social media as a convenient platform to reach and engage their potential customers (Pourkhani et al., 2019). Social media has revolutionized the way businesses connect with consumers for the purpose of growing their brand. Notably, social media offers cheaper and highly accessible tools of marketing used by businesses to advance their promotional activities (Fan & Gordon, 2014). In United States, social media has highly transformed the world of business –allowing firms to innovate and improve their business plans in order to attain maximum growth and prosperity (As' ad & Alhadid, 2014). Therefore, this study explores the impact, benefit, and importance of social media to the growth and performance of businesses.
Purpose of the Study
According to Kane (2015), a researcher should have a tangible reason (s) for undertaking a particular study in any filed. Marketing is very crucial to each and every business. Marketing entails the need for companies to access the target markets and engage their potential customers. This is aimed at understanding customer needs and wants –something that is crucial in developing a product (s) which offer maximum satisfaction to consumers.

It is essential for a business organization to get the customer feedback in order to grow as a company. Business organizations are collecting customer feedback using various methods. But the question is ‘are they efficient and effective?’ In the current context, there is more of a customer oriented market and all the business organizations are competing to achieve customer delight through their products and services. Social Media plays a huge role in one’s life. Customers tend to reveal their true opinion about certain brands on social media rather than giving routine feedback to the producers or sellers. Because of this reason, it is identified that social media can be used as a tool to analyze customer behavior. If relevant data can be gathered from the customers’ social media feeds and if these data are analyzed properly, a clear idea to the companies what customers really think about their brand can be provided.

Abstract
Introduction
Literature Review
1. Two-Step Communication Theory
2. Fashion Leadership
The theory of fashion consumer groups by Rogers (1962), suggest that every consumer has a unique pattern of behavior when a new item is presented to him or her. These patterns determine some basic categories that are important in consumer adoption. They include early adopters, innovators, early majority, laggards and late majority. Each of these categories has a different percentage in the population. Knowledge of these categories is important in identifying the specific groups in which an individual falls. Identifying early adopters is especially important as the earlier an adoption of a product is done, the faster it runs through to other consumers. The acceptance of the products then leads to a greater percentage of the population gaining interest.
Roger’s model was built upon by Hirschman and Adcock (1978), who differentiated the fashion consumer groups through the use of a scale. The developed scale points out the four groups that are fashion oriented. The groups include fashion opinion leaders, fashion followers, fashion innovators and innovative communicators (Hirschman & Adcock, 1978). The four groups have unique characteristics that depend on their way of interaction with clothing, as well as trends on fashion. Each group has a different motivation when making decisions on whatever they are in need of. Several researchers have greatly assessed the diverse behavioral patterns of various fashion consumers. The research has it that the fashion opinion leaders, as well as innovators are the most conscious on fashion among all other groups of consumers because their fashion interest and trends is the strongest (citation needed). Moreover, the two are driven by the high need for being unique when making their daily decisions. Contradicting to that, innovative communicators, as well as the fashion followers do not do their shopping on fashionable items at frequent rates (Workman & Caldwell, 2007). Shopping motivations that are hedonic also not often drives them (citation needed).
Fashion leadership is multi-dimensional. Dimensions that arise from fashion leadership include innovativeness in fashion, as well as leadership opinion (citation needed). Researchers have found that although different in function there are similar characteristics that exist between opinion leaders and innovators (Workman & Johnson, 1993). The idea of opinion leadership as it relates to fashion was first explored in the 1969 study by John O. Summers. Summers looked to identify Women’s clothing fashion opinion leaders. His research examined the sociological variables, personality/attitudinal factors, mass media exposure, and i.

The readings this week discusses broad context of risk and investigative forensics. Part of risk management is to understand when things go wrong, we need to be able to investigate and report our findings to management. Using this research, or other research you have uncovered discuss in detail how risk and investigate techniques could work to help the organization. ERM helps to protect an organization before an attack, where as forensics investigate technique will help us after an attack - so lets discus both this week.

How (Not) to be Secular? by James K.A. Smith
Secular (1)—the earthly plane of domestic life as distinguished from the sacred.
Secular (2)—areligious, neutral, unbiased, “objective”
Secular (3)—a world in which it is possible to imagine not believing in God; religious belief is no longer axiomatic.
Cross-pressured—The simultaneous pressure of various spiritual options or the feeling of being caught between an echo of transcendence and the drive toward immanentization.
Immanent frame—A constructed social space that frames our lives entirely within a natural order, an order “whose working could be systematically understood and explained in its own term, leaving open the question whether this whole order had a deeper significance....” (Taylor, A Secular Age, p. 15)
Exclusive humanism—A worldview that is able to account for meaning and significance without any appeal to the divine or transcendence.
Self-transcendence—a turning of life toward something beyond ordinary human flourishing. (Taylor, p. 44)
Fullness—The human impulsion to find significance, meaning, value—even within an entirely immanent frame.
Spin—A construal of life in an immanent frame that does not recognize itself as construal. Does not grant plausibility to the alternative,
Take—A construal of life in an immanent frame that is open to appreciating the viability of other takes.
Modern Moral Order (MMO)—Understanding of morality that focuses on the organization of society for mutual benefit rather than obligation to higher or eternal norms.
Faith
Faith Development Theory and a Look at Faith Today
Definitions of Faith
Faith (in general) = one’s ultimate concern (Paul Tillich)
Religious Faith = a relationship with God which engages a person’s total personhood; (Fischer and Hart reading); personal knowledge of God (Richard McBrien)
Faith is not primarily belief in ideas but in God
Difference between faith and “the faith”—the latter usually refers to a collection of “beliefs”
Misunderstandings of the Meaning of Faith
1. Having faith is believing things, “assenting to truths”—the rationalist misunderstanding
2. Having faith is behaving morally—the moralist misunderstanding
3. Having faith is feeling something —the emotionalist misunderstanding
These are all aspects of faith but faith cannot be reduced to any one of these.
Key Points about Faith
1. “Faith seeks understanding and is a friend of reason.” (The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults) In the words of Vatican I, faith is “consonant with reason.” Faith and reason are compatible. Faith is not “blind faith.”
2. Although faith has a content (beliefs), what Christians believe in are not the formulas of faith but in the realities they express.
3. Faith is a commitment of the whole person, not just the intellect of the person.
4. Faith is both personal and communal.
Faith Development Theory
Fowler’s Stages of Faith
Similar to Lawrence Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development

Purpose & Significance (Theme)
Discover why people from different ages and locations follow
product brands on social media.
The research aimed to understand the effects of Social media,
and customer loyalty regarding product brands.
2. The author’s research exemplified the efforts performed by
hotel management in Istanbul to market hotel services on Social
media channels, and mobile applications.
Research Question(s):
For which of the following reasons, if any, do you follow, like,
and/or connect with a brand's social media account(s)?
Is brand loyalty affected by the social media?
Which social media channel is preferred for marketing efforts in
Turkey or which channels are used by companies for CRM
based efforts?
Design and Population:
Study Design
Subjects
The population used was diverse. People from the age of 18 to
above 65 were used. They were from different genders and
occupations.
The research focused on 441 respondents. The research did not
identify the specific ages or locations of the subjects used.
The research concentrated on nineteen hotels in Istanbul.
Methodology:
Instrumentation
Procedures
Statistical Analysis
Limitations & Assumptions
Online survey. The research was carried out using different
social media platforms. This was to know the number of people
using the platforms and to know the effect that the platforms
have on them when it comes to following a brand on the social
media.
Researchers sent questionnaires through several posts on
websites, such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter along with
distribution lists. The research process and all the procedures
took place on the social media. This was to make sure that
information is only gathered from the involved parties.
In-depth questions; field survey. For the research to obtain
information that could be of help, a field survey was done. This
3. included visiting some hotels within Istanbul and asking
questions about the effects of social media on their marketing
strategies. Nineteen hotels were interviewed.
Results:
Key Findings:
Hypothesis Supported
The young are the most likely to follow up brands on the social
media whereas the elderly rarely follow up brands on the social
media. At the same time, the research also found out that most
of the people who follow brands on the social media differ. A
big number of women followed products on the social media
than men. The presence on the social media had an effect on the
number of people who follow brands on the social media (Hajli,
2016). However, not all people who have access to social media
had an interest in following brands on the social media.
The social media has an effect on brand trust which later leads
to brand loyalty (Onur &Fazli, 2015). The research found out
that there is a bond between the social media users and the
social media platforms. With that in mind, it would be easy to
convince a big number of people to be loyal to a brand by
making sure that the brand is available in the social media and
all the information about the brand is provided as well.
Many hotels are utilizing the social media on marketing. Only
one out of all hotels that were interviewed did not use the social
media for its marketing purposes. That is a sign that many
hotels were using the social media as a platform to market their
products. It was also realized that some of the hotels do not
only use the social media as a marketing platform but as a
channel where they get to interact with their customers or
potential customers.
Conclusions:
Are the conclusions valid based on the data and analysis?
The conclusions made were in line with the data collected. That
can be supported by the data presented in the charts and the
conclusions made by the researcher (LaMontagne, 205).
Looking at the conclusion, one would notice that the findings
5. for that specific study, such as 1 = strongly agree, 2 = agree,
and so on. The Likert scale is named for American social
scientist Rensis Likert, who devised the approach in 1932.

Categories of response
Generally, a Likert scale presents the respondent with a
statement and asks the respondent to rate the extent to which he
or she agrees with it. Variations include presenting the subject
with a question rather than a statement. The categories of
response are mutually exclusive and usually cover the full range
of opinion. Some researchers include a “don’t know” option, to
distinguish between respondents who do not feel sufficiently
informed to give an opinion and those who are “neutral” on the
topic.

Essay: Source One
Research was conducted by the editorial manager of
MarketSherpa, known as Dr. Liva LaMontagne. The title of the
research was “MarketSherpa consumer purchase preferences
survey: Demographics of customers’ reasons to follow brand’s
social accounts.” The purpose of the research focused into
matters related to consumers following brands on the social
media (LaMontagne, 2015). The research sought to
fundamentally understand reasons why consumers preferred
following brands on social media, the age group who is more
likely to do so, and the type of products people mostly look for
on social media. The research question is, “Why do people
follow brands on the social media? The statement of the
problem was to know why people are shifting to social media to
follow up brands (LaMontagne, 2015).
Methodology
The author comprised the information from an online survey.
Consumer study individuals were United States citizens. In an
effort to provide credible results, and represent people from all
age groups, researchers used individuals, ages eighteen to sixty-
five years of age. Customers selected for this specific research
study were male and female participants. Consumers were
7. chosen from different parts of the country, and in the findings;
the results were filed according to where the subjects came
from. The researcher applied other strategic methods to
understand the reason why consumers follow products on social
media.
The authored examined motivating factors based on the paradox
of human instinct. The practice shapes information of inquiry to
consumer’s reference source of social media websites, and
distinct motivating reasons. Data collection occurred
systematically to ensure the best possible results. Study
participants were provided the same questions, which eliminated
biases, and provided a premise of research data concerning
exact products individuals seek on social media. Participants
were provided freedom to verbalize their views on any subject
matter directly related to the research question, and the
opportunity to choose other alternative means used to research
product brands.
Results
The results of the findings examined how individuals who
follow brands and products on social media are young
consumers compared to mature consumers. However, there were
individuals from different genders, and geographical regions.
The research stated seventy-four percent of consumers in the
age bracket of fifty-five to sixty-four use social media. Seventy-
one percent of participants sixty-five years and older indicated
their use social media. An overwhelming ninety-five percent of
individuals ages eighteen to forty-four use social media, and
eighty-five percent of participants forty-five to fifty-four
explained their access of social media. However, when it comes
to individuals who follow brands on social media, the numbers
were intrinsic, and fundamentally different, because according
to LaMontagne (2015), only thirty-five of people aged from 54
years and above followed brands on social media.
8. The essence and evaluation of gender results were quite
different. Eighty-seven percent of women used social media, but
only sixty-one percent followed product brands on social media.
Whereas, eighty-two percent of male participants accessed
social media, and only fifty-five percent followed product
brands on social media.
Looking at the results, one realizes there are distinctive
differences between access to social media, and following
product brands on social media. At the same time, ages, and
genders matter when it comes to following product brands on
social media outlets.
Conclusion
Social media is a platform used by consumers as a socialization
mechanism, and business forum. The research provided an
indicative balance of the effects of social media on different
users. Researchers provided credible details that answer
research questions, and assist with understanding why, and who
uses social media to follow product brands. The findings project
factual evidence related to knowledge that mature age groups in
society may not use social media outlets as routine as younger
consumers, and women are better suited as leading users of
social media.
Essay- Source Two
Research was conducted by Michel Laroche, Mohammad Reza
Habibi, and Marie-Odile Richard. The title of the research is
“To be or not to be in social media: How Brand loyalty is

research has focused on the availability of individuals on social
media platforms (Laroche et al, 2013). Researchers elicited
different social media platforms. The key concepts discussed in
the research were if social media has the capability of
9. influencing brand trust, if social media is a suitable platform for
brand promotion, and the effects social media has on
relationships of customers, brands, and organizations.
Methodology
The research did not provide specifics on the demographics of
the participants. However, the number of individuals questioned
was four hundred and forty-one. Participants were located using
social media, and researchers used different ways to solicit
potential subjects. Social media provides numerous platforms
users utilize to communicate, and inform one another, and the
researchers used those platforms to ideally provide answers to
research problems. Researchers concluded Facebook,
Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, and Second Life are widely used
platforms, which provided a large number of potential subjects.
Marketing of goods on social media is exercised by many
organizations in the modern day. Researchers took advantage of
such strategies, and asked about their performance (Laroche et
al, 2013). This lesson taught researchers the psychological
effects social media has in society. Research identified that
social media is used by many who seek a sense of belonging.
Therefore, realization demonstrated infectiously by
organizations that use social media are more likely to have
consumers who feel connected to the organization or brand,
which establishes a sense of belonging. By learning, and
understanding social media trends, researchers succinctly
established how the relationship between the users, the brand,
and organizational marketing is affected.
Results
The researchers evaluated how the availability of a brand on
social media has an effect on the relations of the brand, the
users, and the organization. Research discovered that most of
the modern generation is salient to social media based on
socialization purposes. With this in mind, an organization that
uses the same platform attracts a large number of users.
10. According to the study, the interactions that take place on social
media have an effect on the users. There are cases of
individuals who met on social media, and ended up being long
time close friends, and even soul mates. Offering insight if an
organization would use this opportunity, they gain the
capability of attracting users to their product brands.
Social media is not only a place where people meet, and
socialize, but also an informative platform. A good example is
Wikipedia, where users search for information needed. If an
organization posts information on social media, they can attract
a large number of users (Laroche et al, 2013). When users are
attracted to a brand, it is the responsibility of the organization
to provide consumers with information about the product brand,
and provide a continuous chain of communication. This is a
tactful organization approach to attract social media users,
influence brand trust, which leads to brand loyalty.
Conclusion
The researchers provided exemplary and credible results based
on factual evidence of study. Realization of results announced
the effect social media has on modern society. Modern day
organizations solicit products on social media, and to some
effect have over-populated the platform.
Social media platform has an effect on brand loyalty, leading
one to inquire, “If social media did not have an influence on
brand loyalty, then why are more organizations marketing their
products on social media? Well, if social media was not bearing
any fruit, it is more likely no organization would be interested
in marketing goods on the social media platform.
Essay- Source Three
Research was conducted by M. Onur Gulbahar, and Yildirim
Fazli. The topic of the research was “Marketing Efforts Related
11. to Social Media Channels and Mobile Application Usage in
Tourism: Case Study in Istanbul." Research looked into way
social media has affected the tourism sector. Organizations use
social media to market goods and services, the study expounded
on the most used social media platforms, and the research
concentrated on hotels in Istanbul, and Turkey (Gulgahar &
Fazli, 2015). The research question was “Which social media
channel is preferred for marketing efforts in Turkey or which
channels are used by companies for CRM based efforts?”, and
the research problem identified the most used social media
platforms, and understanding how organizations use such
platforms.
Methodology
The research focused on the tourism sector, and briefly touched
on the hotel situation in those locations. To obtain credible
information, researchers used nineteen different hotels. There
were questions which developed, primarily the same, which
ensured the gathered results would properly assist researchers.
Researchers made sure each hotel questioned identified social
media platforms used to market services. Social media
platforms included in the research were Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google+, Pinterest, and
websites. The researchers looked at the effectiveness of using
different platforms in the hotel, and looked at the challenges
faced by the hotels using the platforms.
To avoid biases, researchers not evaluated hotels that use social
media platforms; they also included hotels that do not use social
media platforms. The selection model used was random
sampling. This method ensured researchers did not have
information about the subjects, made certain the process
remained ethical, and met research requirements, and standards.
The research focused on social media platforms accessed on a
computer system, and mobile applications. This assisted with
understanding if the availability of technology devices can
12. hinder the entire process.
Results
Research results suggests out of the nineteen hotels evaluated,
only one hotel did not have a social media marketing
mechanism in place. However, though they did not have a social
media marketing arrangement, they did have three social media
platforms in place; Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Information revealed there are different factors that affect
social media marketing strategy, and customer age is one of
them (Raji, 2014). Some hotels receive clients from specific age
groups who do not access social media regularly. The group
preference angled towards watching news coverage or reading
newspapers. Therefore, attempting to attract this age group
through social media outlets would not provide a fruitful
financial bottom line.
Hotel location played a important role in the study. Locations
near airports are in advantageous position, and benefit from
social media marketing. They are easier to locate through social
media, and easy to access the hotels once consumers land in
specific destinations.
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are social media platforms
used in the study by the hotels. In most cases, the hotels posted
promotions, and advertisements for clients. Some hotels
consulted with visitors to obtain feedback, and provide
information concerning advertisements or services provided.
Some limitations were realized in using social media to
advertise hotel products, and many did not have a department
that dealt with social media marketing.
Conclusion
The authors provided an exorable research related to the subject
matter. The research did not concentrate on one aspect, but
13. sought a deeper research approach to social media and
marketing (Gulbahar & Fazli, 2015). In the modern day,
locating information on social media about hotels is a signature
process, and depicted in the research. Researchers provided
information on issues concerning challenges faced by the hotels
that use social media as a marketing platform. The methodology
and findings note many hotels benefit from social media
platforms.

18. Effects of Social Networking on Marketing
Consumer purchase intentions
Social networking has changed the relationship between
marketing of brands, and consumer purchase behaviors. Nearly
all brands and products are available for customers on the social
media stage. This twenty-first century technology provides
purchasing options for consumers, because it allows them to
control how they purchase goods and services from “brick and
mortar” corporations.
Through the social media platform companies create strategies
to analyze, and understand their target market. Studies
conducted by DEI Worldwide (2008), reveal “seventy percent of
customers refer to social media sites to obtain information, and
forty nine percent of consumers make purchase decisions based
on information obtained from social media sites.” The same
study suggests sixty percent of consumers use social media to
transfer information to other individuals, and forty five percent
who searched for information on social media sites are involved
in oral advertisements. Social media has therefore transferred
power from firms to individuals, and can greatly have an effect
on the popularity of a commercial brand (Kim & Kou, 2012).
The majority of consumers obtain information about the
products, goods, and services they use on social media.
Therefore, firms must identify consumer purchase intentions,
and the influence of social media. As a result of the significant
influence social media has on the purchase of goods,
organizations who discount social media’s strategic marking
prominence are not reaching a growing consumer nugget.
Factors which influence consumer purchase intentions include,
product purchase value, communication rate of the product on
social media, and product brand (Wei & Wang, 2012). Each
factor is studied independently with relation to purchase
intention, because of the distinct influences it has on consumer
19. purchase intentions.
