This study investigates the impact of perceived anthropomorphism of virtual influencers on consumer satisfaction, using a survey of female Instagram users in South Korea. The findings suggest that perceived anthropomorphism positively influences satisfaction, while social presence does not mediate this association. Perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, flow, and credibility also play a significant role in the relationship between perceived anthropomorphism, social presence, and satisfaction. The study provides practical insights for retail marketers utilizing virtual celebrities in collaborative advertising.
Retailers are employing non-human endorsers as alternatives to traditional celebrities in digital marketing. We seek to identify the aspects of human-like virtual influencer endorsements that create a positive consumer experience. Using a survey of 364 female Instagram users in South Korea, we find that virtual influencers' perceived anthropomorphism positively influences satisfaction. Social presence does not mediate the association between perceived anthropomorphism and satisfaction. Further perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, flow, and credibility play a significant role in the relationship among perceived anthropomorphism, social presence, and satisfaction. This study offers practical insights into collaborative advertising for retail marketers utilizing virtual celebrities.
