活动简介：

Owing to the burgeoning popularity of virtual influencers in the marketplace, the research explores how, why, when and what kind of products can be effectively endorsed by virtual influencers. We delve into the role of virtual influencers in two distinct contexts: sensory marketing and green marketing. Our findings reveal that consumers exhibit a negative response to virtual influencer endorsements associated with the proximal sensory experiences. Conversely, consumer responses to green products endorsed by virtual influencers are more favorable compared to endorsements by their human counterparts. Our research enriches the existing literature on influencer marketing, sensory marketing, and green marketing. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights for business strategy and marketing management in the digital era.
