4. Introduction
The concept of social media (SM) has been at the top of the agenda for many
business executives. Decision makers, as well as consultants, try to identify ways in
which companies can take advantage of applications such as Wikipedia, YouTube,
Facebook, Twitter, etc. Traditionally, consumers used the Internet only to consume
content: they read it, they watched it, and they used it to buy products and services.
This represents a social media phenomenon, which can now significantly affect a
firm's reputation, sales, and even survival. Yet, many executives avoid or ignore
this form of media because they do not understand what it is, the different forms it
can take, how to engage with it, and how to learn. Customers engage in a variety of
social media behaviors such as surfing, engaging, sharing information, and
soliciting that inform them about a product/service offering and influence their
brand knowledge and purchase. Social media is viewed as a tool that influences
consumer preferences through information access, consciousness, purchase intent,
trust, and post-purchase communication and evaluation. As a result, one of the
most pivotal ways to connect with customers and build a long-lasting, favorable
company reputation is through social media. Customer Engagement is used to
develop experiences that enable businesses to develop stronger and more impactful
relationships with customers.
