By discovering what influencer attributes lead to increases in sales revenue can help product suppliers
identify suitable influencers for their products and profits. The current case study adopts the source
credibility theory and big data analysis as well as provides real e-commerce transaction data from
Meimaii to determine factors that escalate consumer trust and purchases. This case study allows students
to learn the relationship among influencer, trust, and fandom and to practice multiple regression analysis using actual transaction data.
