Customer Engagement Behaviors In Social
Media: Capturing Innovation Opportunities

INTRODUCTION
In this ongoing era of the world ,the business brands are making significant and
weighty investments at global level at social media in brand communities to better
engage with their customers . Because the social media platforms have become a
great source of engaging people globally so the business communities also use and
apply social media for better and proper engagement with their customers ,actually
the social media is using as a high source of measuring tool of customer
engagement where the business brands can get the ideas, shares, likes and views
about their online social media efforts, which can support their brand at worldwide
level and the business brands can contribute more in innovation of their brands and
can better serve their potential customers across the world. Most of the population
across the world is now available on social media plate forms like fb, WhatsApp,
twitter, Instagram etc. and spending most of their time on social media, being
engaged with the social media activities. The proper and successful management of
such type of interaction like social media engagement can help the business brands
to get better understandings in customer engagement behavior and which may
enhanced the value proposition and better communication with their targeted
audiences. If the business brands are applying powerful social networking tools ,it
can make comparatively easy to initiate conversations and capture user generated
input rapidly from a large number of participants and contestants. These are very
critical processes to achieve the competitive advantages and for innovation
purposes like product development and brand experience improvements. In spite of
this great and huge benefit of social media engagement in extracted brands and
providing more value for brand development , these expected positive results of
customer engagement through social media for innovation are not frequently
realized in practice by everyone because even now at that time many companies do
not know how to use social media for capturing innovation opportunities for their
brands.
This Paper Provides a study to make two important contributions: First we have to
extend the concept of CEB to examine the intention to provide feedback to
improve the brand and the intention to participate in collaboration with other
customers in the brand communicates. Second the innovation in related
characteristics of CEBs in brand pages is a result of stimulus organism response
because the environmental stimuli lead to an emotional reaction that in turns and
drives consumers behavioral response. The customer engagement through social
media has historically been a common measure and matric for evaluating social
media performance of any business brands through various and different social
media platforms.
Social Media Engagement: Basically the social media engagement
indicates a type of interaction between a user and a platform which is being
supported and provided by an organization to communicate and interact with their
target audience. The term engagement indicates a type of measurement and matric
that how people are interacting with your certain platforms.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Theoretical background
The S-O-R Model
In 1974,the Mehrabian and Russell developed the stimulus organism response
model in environmental psychology. “S-O-R model” contributes to an
understanding of audiences that how they respond towards their environment. The
stimulus- organism-response model shows that how individuals feels or interact
in the same environment or how the same environment influences on individuals
behavior. This model basically assumes an individual’s perception and
interpretation in the same environment.

The S-O-R model developed by Mehrabian and Russell.

The marketing researchers ,later on also adopted a framework for more analyzing
this prospective ,where they reveal and found the subsequently driven behavior of
customers towards the environmental stimuli(Baker et al., 1994). The online
market study also prove that the online services are providing such a type of
feature that highly interact and influence the consumer’s behavior like their
purchase behavior(Eroglu et al., 2003). This shows a consumer’s internal cognitive
and emotional state of behavior towards any stimuli. Furthermore Fang et
al.,(2017)The S-O-R model is applied to examine the social media environment
and the impacts of the technological environment’s cues on the consumer’s
effective(hedonic) ,cognitive(utilitarian)states in turn influence the consumer
response behaviors( satisfaction and purchase intentions).
Web-Based Characteristics As Environmental Stimuli(S)
Brand communication through online brand pages is considered as the most
essential tool to enable interactivity through online or web-based services with
customers where customers can moderate and evaluate services as per their choice
and demand by engaging with the brand communities and its communication. On
the basic of consumers perception ,the content quality, brand page interactivity and
brand page sociability are notices and examined in study. These are four basic and
critical characteristics of customers behavior for online services.
The business brands can capture the intention of customers and engage them with
their brands by developing an interesting and powerful content because the better
content quality provides an environmental cue in determine the customer behavior
in online service market. The brand pages should capture all the relevant
,complete and accurate information on the brand page so that the customers feel
comfortable with their decision to visit your brand page by getting a high quality of
information regarding their perception and according to your brand content. The
business brands should also provide their customers or audiences with a good
brand interactivity with their brand. According to the study it shows a customer’s
perception , that brand page environment can facilitate the interaction between
them, the brand and with the other brand communities, where they may acquire or
get help with the other customers experience about their specific brand or any
certain product. Any brand page can be best situated for their potential customers
to better manage and facilitate the entitativity perceptions.
Customer Perceived Value As a Customer’s Organism
States(o)
The effect of environmental stimuli on customer behavior are arbitrate through an
organism state which may be cognitive and emotional aspects in consumption
experience of customers. This statement refers to the S-O-R Model which suggests
and shows that it is critical to proper understand value delivery that comprises
the benefits derived from consumption experience of customers that directs
buying behavior(Sweeney and Soutar,2001;Carlson et al,2015).
Customers frequently participate in brand communities or virtual communities on
business brand pages and company website, because it has become a better source
of having specific brand information by interacting with the brand communities
instead of finding out of huge amount of information through different digital
sources. The customers considered and finding the brand communities on social
medial having a very pleasurable and interesting environment to interact with the
community and share or exchange information with each others(Zhang et
al,2015).Because on social media brand communities the customers may found and
interact with their same mentality people and there may be engaged with the
elements of enjoyment taken from brand information posted on brand pages by the
brand community members and the business brand itself. The brand pages usually
comprises the participating customers of the host business brand where the level of
interactivity among and the importance assigned to the customers engaged with
social media brand community, can persuade what we argue entitativity
perceptions.
Customer Feedback And Collaboration Intentions As
Response(R)
The customer’s higher level of affect towards the firm ,it may be positive and
negative feelings towards the firms, increase customer’s prospects to show CEBs
that well-being for the firm that comprises feedback and helping other customers.
The Algesheimer et al.(2005,p.21) first proposed the idea about people engagement
in brand communities ,where same minded people can interact with each other and
according to him community engagement as ‘members’ intrinsic motivation to
interact and cooperate with community members. The customer can reveal many
social media functions and tasks like posting questions, freely acquiring and
entertaining with brand information, receiving feedback from brand and other
community members, and also itself providing the feedback by taking part in
various kind of surreys and by posting suggestions about the business brand
,engaging and contributing in brand development and helping other potential or
willing customers of the brand derive greater product utility. These all functions
can boost up customers likeliness in engaging innovation related behavior in brand
community. The actual behavior of people is quite difficult to measure so we focus
on behavioral intentions to participate in customer feedback and collaborate with
the other members in the brand community. The customers feedback and
collaboration intention in the brand community can be considered as a form of
innovation related behavior on the brand pages of the business. Feedback
intentions of the customers can play a voluntarily solicited and unsolicited
evaluations of brand experience. This could include innovation activities initiated
by the business brand on their brand pages like inviting customers to complete a
survey ,responding to poll or questionnaires related to brand ideas or brand
development, in short engaging and participating in the activities that may support
the brand innovation efforts.
The customers may collaborate on brand pages by heling to solve the brand related
issues, exchange valuable information with the community through the brand page,
contributing in development of new innovation related to brand idea.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the study indicates the investigation of the effect of online service
design characteristics that can induce customer perceived value with perceptions
which later stimulate customer feedback and collaboration intentions towards
brand pages(Van Doorn et al., 2010; Verleye et al, 2014; George et al.,2016. This
study also extend the S-O-R model framework for understanding CEBs intentions
in social media and provide theoretically justification of various firm controllable
online service design characteristics as environmental stimuli in social media brand
pages.
Basically the main objective of the research is to prove that how can a business
consider social media as a measuring tool for their brands and how can a social
media can contribute in the value proposition of any brand through brand
communities for any business brand for their success. In fact the social media
brand communities are the best and high source to measure any brands success
because on social media brand communities there is a variety of different people
from different countries, cutlers in short people from all over the world engage and
communicate with themselves and share their ideas, views, knowledge and
experiences about the brand where the business brand can measure and scale out
their brand’s image and value towards the community and society and the business
brand use their customer’s or community members in their product development
and enhanced value proposition to target audience.
The interest for social media brand communities has been increased since 15 years.
Because according to research the people are more interested to join the groups in
which they interact with whole the world and can share their experience regards
the brand.
HYPOTHESIS
The S-O-R paradigm has proposes that the perception of consumers of online
service design characteristics of content quality, brand page interactivity, brand
page sociability and the contact of consumer quality represent stimulus(S) cues,
and then an organism state(O) entails and requires the customer perceived value
benefit consequences which comprises learning value of brand entitativity value
with the hedonic value of the business brand. The S-O-R model also proposes the
behavioral response (R) which includes the customer engagement behavior intent
or intentions represented by feedback intentions which helps to improve the brand
experience and the purpose to collaborate with brand page community like brand
communities which may reflect the final reaction to a stimulus.
Environmental stimulus and customer perceived value
Content quality
The social media websites which examines the retailing service quality(Carlson
and O’Cass,2010)and the virtual community websites (Nambisan and Baron,2009)
indicates in a research that the quality of the content of any business brand has a
very positive influence on consumer attitudes and behaviors. The consumers
interact with the particular brand on a brand page while searching for information
like brand attributes ,characteristics or benefits which may impact on consumer’s
experience towards particular brand which may be either favorable or
unfavorable(Ho and Wang,2015).The useful information obtained from the brand
pages may offer opportunities to enhance an individual’s learning(Hamilton et
al,2016).
Brand page interactivity
The customer brand interactivity with other members is quite critical in enhancing
a customer’s learning and sense of belongingness and attachment with that
particular brand on brand pages and virtual communities on websites(Mathwick et
al., 2008; Nambisan and Baron, 2009). The customer interact with the brand and
the other members with the consumption of content over a wide range in a brand
environment because on the brand pages the content is generated by various
sources like the content created by brand itself and generated by its members
where the member can increase their perception about brand with the depth
,breadth and mutual exchange of knowledge with a close interaction between them
and it may bring and intend to more excitement.
Brand page sociability
The perceived sociability with the particular brand page may facilitate its
customers to ascertain a social connection with their same likeminded people and
provide a chance to exchange their knowledge that helps them to enhance their
attitude towards that particular brand. According to a research the communication
and socialization between community members on social media is quite enjoyable
and meaningful for the customers(Alnawas and Aburub,2016; Vock et al., 2013).
The relative contact between customers on social media brand pages plays a vital
and important role in influencing a positive customer attitude and behavior. O’Cass
and Carlson (2012). An effective contact and judgement may create more
satisfaction among the members of the brand page towards the brand.
Customer-perceived value, customer feedback and
collaboration in social media
when customers experience fun, entertainment and learning and a sense of
belonging ness from interacting with the other members through a brand’s social
media presence they exhibit the greater behavioral intentions of eWoM, brand
advocacy, feedback to the brand and disclose personal information to the
brand(Jhan and Kunz,2012; de vries and Carlson,2014). The customers who have
achieved their learning goal by interacting with the social media brand
communities are more likely to engage with the brand for continuous
enhancement of their knowledge. The individuals who strongly perceived and
achieved value from the consumption of a brand page experience and learning
,they are more likely participate in customer feedback and collaboration with the
other community members in the brand page.

METHODOLOGY
Sample
The respondents answered the screening questions to ensure that they were
follower of their favorite brands on Facebook pages and had purchased their
favorite brands within the past six months. An email invitation by a link which
contains a brief introduction were to send to the eligible participants.

Measures
Measures for content quality was adopted from Mathwick et al(2008),brand page
interactivity and brand page sociability were adopted from (Jahn and Kunz(2012)
and customer contact quality were adopted from O’Cass and Carlson(2012). The
brand learning value were drawn from Algesheimer et al. (2005), entitativity
value from (Vock et al., 2013) and hedonic value from Jahn and Kunz (2012). The
collaboration intensions were adopted from Shi et al.(2016) and feedback
intensions were adopted from Hamilton et al.(2016). All these items were scaled
on seven point like art scale from (1) “strongly disagree” to (7) “strongly agree”.

Sample profile
There are total 654 responses were received which were 50.0 % male and 49.5%
female, average age 39.45 years and average income US 50,000 to 74,999 per
year. All the data were collected from a single source and also found one factor
which explained 47% variance out of the total variance (100%). As the date is
collected from only one source so this research is tested for common method bias.

Estimation procedure
The study evaluated two things first the reflective measurement model of validity
and reliability and the structural models of the hypothesized paths which were
examined in this study
RESULTS & ANALYSIS
Evaluation Of Measurement Scales
In this research proposal SPSS software was used to validate the measurement
model. I was conducting survey on Customer Engagement Behaviors In Social
Media through 10 different brand’s social media E-Commerce platforms according
to consumer’s choice. Like Daraz, Khadi, Alkaram, Bonanza, Limelight, Gul
Ahmed, Amazon, OLX, Alibaba & AliExpress and I tried to analyze that how the
brands capture innovation opportunities through their online brand communities on
different social media platforms.
In total, 154 responses were received with the following characteristics: 73.4 per
cent male and 26.0 per cent female and 6 per centage of those respondents who did
not want show their gender with average age 26.4 years. With the help of SPSS
data analysis I found that cultural values and level or status(occupation) can
influence on Customer Brand Engagement Behavior. So the Descriptive Statistics
of the key constructs are given in Table:1.

CONCLUSION
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of online service design
characteristics that can induce customer perceived value perceptions which then
stimulate customer feedback and collaboration intentions towards brand pages. By
doing so, the research is the first to explicitly examine forms of CEBs related to
innovation in the brand page environment. The findings provide empirical evidence
that contributes to the emerging CEB management literature by examining
consumption mechanisms in social media that unlock different forms of CEBs that
captures the knowledge resource of customers for innovation purposes And this
research shows that brand engagement not only adds a new dynamic to the
enhancement of brand innovation, but also exerts a powerful force turning
customers into brand champions. The stronger customers participations of the
ownership of a brand, the greater their internal motivation to engage in behaviors
that support the firm’s brand building efforts and helps to capture innovation
opportunities.
LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCH
This examined research study has various different limitations , like the two
diverse of customer participation like feedback and customer collaboration
intensions in innovation related customer engagement behavior. The additional
factors which capture the conceptual richness of customer engagement behavior
can extend by the models in future research. Influencing augmenting, mobilizing
and market or brand co creating behaviors are conceptualized by Jaakkola and
Alexander (2014) and Groeger et al.(2016). This study is also capturing a
limitation by the cross sectional nature of the research which adopts the subjective
survey data to assess and eliminate the consumer’s innovation related perception in
social media where the respondents might be biased through their answers and
even can be conflicting with their actual behavior and opinion. Thus the future
study can be explore and generate the generalizability of the framework to the
setting of other countries and the social media platforms which comprises the
YouTube and Instagram in western market and Weibo and WeChat in china.
