This research paper explores the significant influence of social media influencers on the purchasing decisions of Generation Z, a demographic known for its heavy reliance on digital platforms. With the rapid growth of social media, influencers have become key players in shaping consumer preferences and behaviors. This study employs quantitative research methods to examine the complex relationship between social media influencers and the buying behaviors of Generation Z. Focusing on critical factors such as authenticity, ethics, and trustworthiness, the research seeks to uncover the dynamics that drive influencer impact on this digitally engaged cohort. In addition to immediate purchasing decisions, this study investigates the long-term effects of influencer marketing on brand loyalty and consumer attitudes. By examining both short-term and enduring influences, this research provides valuable insights for marketers and businesses aiming to navigate the evolving landscape of influencer-driven consumerism. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of modern consumer dynamics, offering practical guidance for building meaningful connections with Generation Z in an increasingly digital marketplace.
