Introduction
Social media has been widely used by enterprises as a marketing strategy tool. As a part of social media, social networking sites (SNS) allow users to connect with each other. SNS possibly become a reciprocal communication medium between the enterprise and customers. SNS’s ability to reach a wide range of users, its low cost [1], and the fact it has become a part of the lives of common citizens is useful for enterprises to ensure the appeal of marketing activities, create customer awareness, and build virtual brand communities [2]. However, a survey conducted by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics Republic of Indonesia in 2019 [3] found that most people use social media platforms to sell a product or service, but when they want to buy, they prefer to use a marketplace platform. This indicates that despite the marketplace platform having advanced features, social media may still be able to encourage people to buy through social media by providing the right marketing activity content. Therefore, to get the most out of a marketing activity on social media, enterprise have to understand the importance of the content or the message’s form that they want to deliver and its impact on consumers’ experience, which can lead to achievement of the company’s marketing goals.
