Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur kunders attityder och beteenden till influencers och influencer marketing påverkas av deras uppfattningar om influencers och influencer marketing. Studien fokuserar på kundernas attityder och beteenden i relation till influencers och influencer marketing i termer av värdesamskapande, förtroende, varumärkeslojalitet och kundengagemang. Vi utgår vidare från att detta påverkas av kundernas intresse för influencers och i vilken mån de är aktiva på sociala medier.Vi skapade även en analysmodell som utgår från att graden av kundernas intresse för influencers och deras aktivitetsgrad på Instagram påverkar deras uppfattningar om influencers och influencers marketing. Därefter påverkar detta i sin tur deras attityder och beteenden i relation till influencers ochinfluencer marketing i termer av värdesamskapande, förtroende, varumärkeslojalitet och kundengagemang. Utifrån detta syfte och denna analysmodell utfördes ett strategiskt urval av åtta respondenter, där vi valde att utgå från respondenter som hade ett större eller mindre intresse förinfluencers och som var mycket aktiva eller relativt aktiva på Instagram. På så vis skapades fyra olika fall där, där semistrukturerade djupintervjuer utfördes med samtliga respondenter. Det första fallet kännetecknas av respondenter som vid tidpunkten för intervjuerna hade ett mindre intresse för influencers och var mindre aktiva på Instagram. I det andra fallet hade respondenterna ett större intresse för influencers men samtidigt var de mindre aktiva på Instagram. Respondenterna i det tredje fallet karakteriseras av att de var mindre intresserade av influencers och att de var mer aktiva på Instagram.Det fjärde fallet utmärks av respondenter som både var mer intresserade av influencers och mer aktiva på Instagram. Analysresultatet visar att det finns ett positivt samband mellan respondenternas uppfattningar om influencers och influencer marketing och respondenternas attityder och beteenden i relation till influencers och influencer marketing. Analysmodellen kan därmed inte bekräftas. Detta eftersom att analysen visar att respondenternas uppfattningar om influencers och influencer marketing samt respondenternas attityder och beteenden i relation till influencers och influencer marketing, inte påverkas av respondenternas intresse för influencers och deras aktivitetsgrader på Instagram.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to analyse how customers' attitudes and behaviours towards influencers and influencer marketing are affected by their perceptions of influencers and influencer marketing. The study focuses on customers' attitudes and behaviours in relation to influencers and influencer marketing in terms of value co-creation, trust, brand loyalty and customer engagement. We assume that this is affected by customers' interest in influencers and the extent to which they are active on social media. We alsocreated an analysis model, where we assume that the degree of customers’ interest in influencers and their degree of activity on Instagram influences their perceptions of influencers and influencer marketing. After that, we assume that this affects their attitudes and behaviours in relation to influencers and influencer marketing in terms of value co-creation, trust, brand loyalty and customer engagement. Based on this purpose and analysis model, a strategic sample was made, that consisted of eight respondents, where we chose to begin from respondents who had a more or less interest in influencers and were very active or relatively active on Instagram. In this way, we created four different cases, where we conducted semistructured in-depth interviews with all respondents. The first case is characterised by respondents who at the time of the interviews, had a less interest in influencers and also were less active on Instagram. In the second case, the respondents had a more significant interest in influencers, but at the same time, theserespondents were less active on Instagram. The respondents in the third case were characterised as less interested in influencers but were instead more active on Instagram. The fourth case is characterised by respondents who were more interested in influencers and also were more active on Instagram. The analysis results show that there is a positive connection between the respondents 'perceptions about influencers and influencer marketing and the respondents' attitudes and behaviours in relation to influencers and influencer marketing. The analysis model can, therefore, not be confirmed. The reason for this is due to the analysis, that shows that the respondents' perceptions of influencers and influencer marketing, as well as the respondents' attitudes and behaviours in relation to influencers and influencer marketing, are not affected by the respondents' interest in influencers and how active they are onInstagram.
