This document analyzes word-of-mouth (WOM) on Vans' Facebook community to understand why consumers share their experiences. It performed a content analysis of 892 Facebook posts from May to July 2014. Three main themes emerged from analyzing 205 word-of-mouth posts: relating the brand to family, customizing products, and sharing experiences. This suggests eWOM is driven by social motives to signal a shared or unique identity or to self-enhance through brand loyalty and identification. The findings support previous research and have implications such as WOM strengthening brand identity when managed correctly.
