Abstract: ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of social media marketing on consumer purchase decisions in the digital age. As platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok become increasingly integrated into daily life, businesses have adapted their marketing strategies to engage with consumers through targeted content, influencer partnerships, and interactive campaigns. The research explores how factors such as brand visibility, user engagement, social proof, and personalized advertising shape consumer behavior and decision-making processes. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, the study analyzes the extent to which social media marketing affects brand perception, consumer trust, and purchase intent. The findings reveal a significant correlation between active social media marketing and increased consumer responsiveness, particularly among younger demographics. This highlights the need for businesses to strategically leverage social media as a core component of their marketing efforts to effectively influence modern purchasing behavior. Keywords: Social media marketing , Brand Awareness , Online Advertising, Consumer Trust , Social Proof, Influencer Marketing, Digital Marketing.
