In nowadays, with the development and generalization of the internet and
mobile devices, SNS came very closely related to people's daily lives. Not
only hotels but other industries are also using SNS as a means of
communication and marketing. In the case of the hotel industry, it tends to
prefer SNS marketing rather than the hotel's own individual homepage
thesedays, which has been less accessible, and SNS has become the major
marketing strategy for them.
In this study, five types of SNS marketing characteristics which is
information trust, service value, visuality, interaction, and experience
information were conducted to find out the relationship between the SNS
marketing characteristics, which affect the brand attitude and the intention of
purchase. The ANOVA (one-way variable analysis) analysis was conducted
to identify differences in purchasing intent according to demographic
characteristics and generalities.
The study found out that five elements of SNS evaluation dimensions; information trust, service value, visual characteristics, interaction, and
experience information affect the brand attitude positively and the brand
attitude also has a positive effect on the intention of purchasing hotel room
products.
Based on the results of the study, hotel companies should communicate via
SNS including potential customers as well as existing customers and increase
the value of use as a marketing tool by utilizing the advantages of SNS
marketing.
In this study, only the five most studied elements of evaluation dimension
were considered based on prior studies, which also seemed to require more
diverse factors to be considered in subsequent studies, since there were
limitations in survey groups and regions.
