Social Media’s Impact on Saudi Mother’s Luxury Consumption
摘要
This study investigates luxury consumption among Saudi mothers using a quantitative approach and a rich theoretical framework rooted in Veblen’s theory of conspicuous consumption. Structural equation modelling of data collected on a self-reporting questionnaire from 646 Saudi mothers reveals an unexpected social media influence among Saudi mothers that is strongly moderated by variables including extended self-value, brand value, and sociocultural expectations. These findings show that luxury consumption by Saudi mothers is more than a merely economic act. It signals social status, identity, and morals. The discussion and results offer valuable marketing insights tailored to Saudi consumer behaviour, especially within the digital world.
