Project Abstract

Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the impact of social media influencers on consumer behavior in the fashion industry. With the rise of social media platforms and the growing influence of individuals who have amassed large followings, known as social media influencers, there has been a notable shift in consumer behavior patterns within the fashion industry. This research seeks to explore the various ways in which social media influencers shape and influence consumer attitudes, preferences, and purchasing decisions. The study will begin with a comprehensive introduction that sets the stage for the research by providing background information on the emergence of social media influencers and their role in the fashion industry. The problem statement will highlight the gaps in existing literature and identify the need for further research in this area. The objectives of the study will outline the specific goals and aims that the research seeks to achieve. The research methodology will be carefully designed to ensure a rigorous and systematic investigation of the topic. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather data from both social media influencers and fashion consumers. Data collection techniques will include surveys, interviews, and content analysis of social media platforms. The findings of the study will be presented and discussed in detail in Chapter Four, where the impact of social media influencers on various aspects of consumer behavior will be analyzed. The discussion will explore how social media influencers influence consumer perceptions of brands, product preferences, and purchasing decisions in the fashion industry. The research will conclude with Chapter Five, which will provide a summary of the key findings and conclusions drawn from the study. Implications for both theory and practice will be discussed, along with recommendations for future research in this area. Overall, this research aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the impact of social media influencers on consumer behavior in the fashion industry and provide valuable insights for marketers, brands, and social media influencers themselves.
