Students attitudes towards influencers on Instagram : a study of how university students attitudes and purchase intentions are affected by influencer marketing (English)
Abstract [sv]

Rapporten undersöker vilka faktorer i influencers sponsrade inlägg på Instagram som påverkar studenters attityder gentemot influencers. Vidare undersöks hur influencer marketing påverkar studenters köpintentioner. Vald metod för undersökningen är en kvantitativenkätundersökning med 72 respondenter bestående av studenter på Högskolan i Borås. Resultatet visar att faktorer som påverkar studenters attityder gentemot influencers är hur ofta sponsrade inlägg publiceras, vilken typ av produkt eller tjänst som marknadsförs och om förmåner som rabattkoder inkluderas i det sponsrade inlägget. Vidare visar resultatet att studenters köpintentioner påverkas positivt om om det inkluderas rabattkoder i det sponsrade inlägget och om produkten eller tjänsten marknadsförs på ett tilltalande sätt enligt konsumenten. Därtill påverkas studenters köpintentioner positivt genom att de via sponsrade inlägg på Instagram lägger märke till produkter de tidigare inte haft kännedom om. Slutligen väljer studenter att köpa av influencers sponsrade inlägg då de litar på influencerns omdöme och förväntar sig därför att produkten eller tjänsten är bra.

Abstract [en]

This report examines the effects of influencer marketing on student attitudes and purchase intentions. The study focuses on the effects of influencers sponsored posts on their Instagram account. Its purpose is to identify the factors in sponsored Instagram posts that affect students attitudes towards influencers as well as to identify how it affects consumer purchase behaviours. The method used was a quantitative survey with 72 participants consisting of university students attending University of Borås. The results showed that factors affecting student attitudes towards influencers was frequency of posting, the type of product being advertised and different benefits included in the offer, such as discount codes. The results also showed that students purchase behavior is mainly affected by discounts and by how the product is being advertised. Students also claimed that their purchase behaviour is affected by the fact that the sponsored posts makes the consumer aware of a product that they did not know of previous to seeing the post. Lastly, consumer purchase behaviour is also affected positively because consumers claim to trust the influencers judgement and therefore believe that the product will hold a certain level of quality or standard. This study is written and conducted in Swedish.
