Preface

The research programs grows the student’s potential and analytical activity to do the work in
better manner. Student can learn more through researches to enhance their working abilities to
analyze and compute data. I got a chance to do the research in NUML university. During the
research I learned about its functions, working and objectives and especially how to run analysis
on multivariate data.

Acknowledgement

First of all I want to express all my humble to Allah Ta’la that these are only prayers that I
reached to this stage and performing research under qualified lecturer. Secondly, I am grateful to
my honorable teacher Dr. Qalandar Hayat for providing me the opportunity of doing research. I
am also thankful to all the respondents for their cooperation, valuable answers and support
throughout the research period.

Dedication

I dedicate all my efforts to my parents who supported me in all my ups and downs with their
physical and Spiritual efforts.

1. Introduction:
Impact of social media marketing strategies used by brands during Covid-19, to spread brand
awareness for developing customers purchase intention.

2. Theoretical Framework:
Social Media Marketing Brand Awareness Customer Purchase
Intention

Social Media Usage


during Covid-19

This framework describes relationship between different variables. In this framework, Social
media marketing is acting as independent variable which has effect on mediating variable i.e
Brand Awareness, that has direct impact on customer purchase intention. Therefore, social media
usage during Covid-19 acts as moderating variable and increases or decreases impact of
independent variable over dependent variable.

Independent Variable: (Social Media Marketing (Stephen, Andrew T. "The role of digital and
social media marketing in consumer behavior." Current opinión in Psychology 10 (2016): 17-
21.)
Dependent Variable: Customer Purchase Intention (Husnain, Mudassir, and AreebaToor. "The
impact of social network marketing on consumer purchase intention in Pakistan: Consumer
engagement as a mediator." Asian Journal of Business and Accounting 10.1 (2017): 167-199.)
Mediating Variable: Brand Awareness (Cao, Yue, and Gerhard Havranek."Marketing in Social
Media." (2013).)
Moderating Variable: Social Media Usage during Covid-19 (Wong, Adrian, et al. "The use of
social media and online communications in times of pandemic COVID-19." Journal of the
Intensive Care Society 22.3 (2021): 255-260.)

Conceptual Framework:
In this framework, we will discuss details about given variables in theoretical framework.

This Graph shows the distribution of the data against the expected normal distribution. As we see
that responses almost lie in a straight line the data is normally distributed.

Normal Q-Q Plots

When we examined relation between X31 and X2, we observed that in 2nd component the data is
normally distributed as observed values are so close to expected values.

33
When we examined relation between X31 and X2, we observed that in 3rd component, the data is
normally distributed as observed values are so close to expected values.

When we examined relation between X31 and X2, we observed that in 3rd component, the data is
not normally distributed as observed values on 1 are much deviated from expected values.

34
When we examined relation between X31 and X2, we observed that in 4th component, the data is
a little abnormally distributed as observed values are not so close to expected values.

Purpose to generate above table is to identify which variable has missing values. It is clearly seen
that only AGE is the variable where there are two missing values with and average value of
22.53. Fluctuations in data average are found by 2.750. This table also shows 2 outliers with
extreme value in age variable.

Analysis.
This tables shows shared variance between all the variables. As communality values depend on sample size than communality value is enough to be greater than 0.6. X5 and X11 have less shared variance than others. But it is considered to be
OK that communalities can be greater than 0.4.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.

Eigenvalues should be greater than 1. So we can take maximum 6 components. In the same table it can be seen that cumulative % in 5 th and 6th component is greater than 60% so we have to take components that have cumulative % greater than
60% and should not have eigenvalue less than 1. It means we will tka e% or 6 components.

Scree plot shows the eigenvalue is greater in first 6 6 components.
