The Role of Social Media Marketing in Green Product Repurchase Intention

This study explores the impact of social media marketing activities and ESG green brand involvement on the repurchase intention of green products among members of Taiwan’s green product social media groups. Using the Theory of Reasoned Action, the study employs a quantitative approach, collecting data through an online survey from 438 valid responses. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the relationships between social media marketing activities (independent variable), green values, environmental concerns, brand image, and brand involvement (mediating variables), and repurchase intention (dependent variable). The findings reveal that social media marketing activities significantly enhance green values, environmental concerns, and brand image, which positively influence brand involvement. Brand involvement significantly mediates the relationship between green values, environmental concerns, brand image, and repurchase intention. This confirms that effective social media marketing can strengthen consumer loyalty and repurchase intentions for green products. The study suggests that companies should integrate green values, environmental concerns, and brand image into their social media marketing strategies to enhance consumer engagement and repurchase intentions. Leveraging social media influencers and interactive content can effectively promote green products and foster a culture of sustainability, creating a win–win situation for companies, consumers, and the environment. This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the mediating roles of green values, environmental concerns, and brand involvement in social media marketing for green products. It provides practical insights for companies aiming to enhance green product repurchase intentions through targeted social media strategies and ESG initiatives, illustrating the strategic use of social media marketing to boost consumer loyalty and sustainable consumption.
