Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh sumber informasi pada platform digital terhadap niat beli konsumen melalui persepsi konsumen akan kredibilitas dan keahlian sumber sebagai mediator, serta pengalaman menggunakan produk sebagai moderator. Eksperimen dilakukan dengan memberi partisipan (n=98) paparan terhadap klip beauty vlog dan iklan tradisional sebagai sumber informasi yang terdapat di platform YouTube. Produk lip cream Wardah digunakan sebagai produk dalam eksperimen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sumber informasi tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap niat beli maupun persepsi konsumen terhadap kredibilitas dan keahlian sumber informasi, namun terdapat interaksi antara sumber informasi dan pengalaman individu sebelumnya dengan produk dalam mempengaruhi niat beli. Secara spesifik, dibandingkan iklan tradisional, beauty vlog memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap niat beli individu yang sudah pernah menggunakan produk lip cream Wardah sebelumnya.
