Using PLS-based structural equation modeling, we found that people’s influencer following norms played a significant role in shaping influencer endorsement effectiveness (e.g. influencer following gratifications, perceived influencer characteristics, and effectiveness of influencer product recommendation). Moreover, people’s exposure to the algorithmic social media environment (i.e. suggested and top posts provided by Instagram’s recommendation algorithms) is related to their perceived influencer following norms.

Thus, this study aims to examine how bloggers’ interactive practices (BIPs) have a positive effect on their followers’ intentions to purchase the products promoted by them by the mediating roles of bloggers’ credibility and followers’ para-social interactions. This study drew on three well-formulated theories (i.e. social cognitive theory, theory of reasoned action, and social learning theory) to design its conceptual framework. To this end, this study surveyed 548 female followers of 12 female bloggers on Instagram, operating in Iran. This research has used the PLS-based structural equations modeling to evaluate the validity of its measurement and structural models. The results of this research show that BIPs improve followers’ attitudes toward bloggers’ credibility in two dimensions of “expertise” and “reliability”. Followers’ attitudes toward bloggers’ credibility play an important role in reinforcing their para-social interactions with bloggers. Followers’ para-social interactions play a role in fortifying their intentions to purchase the products promoted by bloggers. The most significant empirical contribution of this study is that it explains the interactive practices taken by bloggers into account strengthen the purchase demands of their followers. Therefore, bloggers due to their ability to influence people’s purchase intentions are a challenge for today’s businesses, which must be transformed from a potential threat to an actual opportunity.Keywords: influencer marketingBloggers’ interactive practices (BIPs)bloggers’ credibilityfollowers’ para-social interactionsfollowers’ purchase intentionssocial cognitive theorytheory of reasoned actionsocial learning theory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":" 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135290673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, minimalism is well acknowledged across various disciplines, very limitedly explored in tourism literature, especially in the context of shared services in the tourism industry. Based on this knowledge gap, this study proposes an integrative theoretical framework using the value-attitude-behavior theory and the theory of planned behavior to investigate the impact of minimalism on the purchase behavior of shared services. The data collected from 454 tourists with previous experience using sharing economy-based services implies that consumer minimalism profoundly influences purchase behaviors within shared services. Furthermore, Regional brand identity significantly impacts the relationship between consumer minimalism and behavioral intention. The results add substantially to the existing knowledge in the value-attitude-behavior theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior. The results will also help tourism managers and marketers frame policies to meet tourists’ backgrounds and value systems.Keywords: sharing economyconsumer minimalismminimalistic behavioractual behaviorregional brand identity Disclosure statementThe authors have declared no conflicts of interest.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":" 27","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135290662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results confirm the validity of the framework and demonstrate that five out of seven tested attitudinal antecedent beliefs significantly influence attitudes toward social media advertising.
