This study focuses on the effectiveness of photo-sharing-based Instagram social media in influencing consumer purchase intentions on the @manteracorner Instagram account and customer engagement as a mediating variable. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of Instagram on consumer’s purchase intentions and those customer engagement variables can mediate between Instagram social media and consumer purchase intentions.
