Abstract

Previous studies have focused on studying the emoji usage in marketing from a univariate perspective. Thus, this study seeks to appraise the utilization of emojis in advertisements by considering a combination of emoji characteristics. Study employed fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (FSQCA) to examine the combined impact of valence, face or non-face, arousal, number, and position of emojis on purchasing intention from social presence and interest. The results revealed five combinations of advantageous emoji characteristics for purchasing intention, as well as three combinations of disadvantageous emoji characteristics. These combinations exhibited some variability, indicating that benefits can be derived in various scenarios. Besides, emoji characteristics can evoke feelings of social presence and interest among consumers, with different combinations of emoji characteristics yielding varying effects on social presence and interest.
