According to a research, consumers'attitudes regarding social media advertising have a major influence on their intentions to engage ineWOM, visit company websites, and purchase products and services.

Gender has been discovered to play a major role in the relationshipbetween consumers' attitudes regarding social media advertising and their intentions to engage ineWOM behaviors and to visit the websites of firms to make purchases. Age does not appear to have arole in the relationship between consumers' attitudes regarding social media advertising and theirintents to visit the websites of firms.Downloads
