Abstract

Social media has revolutionized modern business, with influencers at the forefront, redefining marketing strategies through their ability to engage and persuade large audiences. Companies leveraging these influential voices can amplify brand messages, drive consumer behavior, and unlock growth opportunities in our increasingly connected world. This study examined social media’s impact on business performance, focusing on branding and product demand. Using a quantitative approach, a surveyed was conducted among 254 online sellers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia, allowing for a systematic analysis of social media’s role in contemporary business practices within this region. Results showed a significant relationship between social media use and business enhancement, particularly in brand awareness and product demand. Social media platforms proved crucial for expanding market reach, fostering customer engagement, and facilitating real-time feedback. The study also highlighted the importance of influencer partnerships in shaping consumer perceptions and driving purchases. This research contributes to digital marketing literature by providing empirical evidence of social media’s effectiveness in business growth strategies. It offers insights for entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders on optimizing social media presence and leveraging influencer collaborations, underscoring the need for businesses to adapt to the evolving digital landscape to remain competitive.
