Whereas the social media influencer has unsignificant effects on purchase intention, brand image mediates this effect. Electronic word of mouth can enhance purchase intention. Additionally, the moderated mediation analysis result revealed that the indirect effect of electronic word of mouth on purchase intention is positively moderated by brand image.
