Abstract

Given the ever-growing importance of digitalisation and the potential opportunities it affords African businesses, this chapter investigates the effect of value-driven social media marketer-generated contents on consumptive and productive engagement behaviours and the contingent role of search (vs experience) products. An experimental research design (N = 168) was devised to answer the research questions. The findings indicate that different value-driven social media marketer-generated content strategies are required to drive consumer engagement behaviours for search (vs experience) products. Our findings demonstrate the content strategies that are best suited for stimulating consumer behavioural engagement, especially amongst African marketers of search and experience products/services, as well as the mechanism that underlies the emergence of productive behavioural engagement from value-driven social media.
