Introduction
Social media is a wide platform with over 4.8 billion users worldwide.
Business enterprises started to use social media as a marketplace. According to
Saravanakumar (2012), social media allows companies to establish a
communication channel with their customers, market their products, build brand
equity, and boost clientele faithfulness. Enterprises make use of social media
together with the application of maximum efforts in bridging with their customers
and strengthening their relationship amid the health crisis. Social media is also a
good indicator of social trends. Companies build and innovate products
accordingly to meet the consumers' expectations. In an article written by Apel et.
Al (2019), they explained that customers will be able to engage with firms
anywhere and anytime, and solutions to customers’ problems will be more
accessible and immediate, perhaps even pre-emptive using predictive approaches.
Social media has penetrated many households and improved the consumers’ way
of searching for the basic product information that affects their purchase decision.
