Background of the study (250 words):
Digital influencer endorsements have revolutionized marketing by bridging the gap between brands and consumers through authentic, relatable content. For cosmetics brands in Enugu, partnering with influencers has become a key strategy to boost online sales and enhance brand credibility. This study investigates how influencer endorsements affect consumer purchase behavior by examining factors such as content authenticity, engagement rates, and the alignment between influencer persona and brand image. Influencers can significantly impact purchase decisions by leveraging their large followings and trusted voices on social media platforms. The research explores the mechanisms through which influencer marketing drives conversion, including user-generated content, reviews, and visual storytelling. Furthermore, the study assesses the challenges associated with influencer collaborations, such as authenticity issues and measurement of return on investment. By analyzing campaign performance data and consumer feedback, this investigation aims to provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of digital influencer endorsements and propose strategies to optimize partnerships for enhanced online sales performance (Oluwole, 2023; Adeleke, 2024).
