Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research landscape and identify emerging trends in this field. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis to examine publications related to social media marketing, brand trust, customer preference, and purchase decision. Data were collected from the Scopus database covering the period from 2021 to 2026. Bibliometric mapping and keyword co-occurrence analysis were conducted using VOSviewer to identify research clusters, thematic structures, and the evolution of research topics. The findings reveal a significant increase in publications on social media marketing and consumer behavior, indicating growing academic interest in this domain. The bibliometric analysis shows that social media marketing acts as a central theme connecting key variables such as brand trust, customer preference, and purchase intention/decision. Furthermore, overlay visualization indicates that emerging research topics include consumer engagement, influencer marketing, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and perceived value, reflecting a shift toward a more integrated and experiential understanding of consumer behavior in digital environments.

This study systematically examined various relevant scientific articles from reputable databases over a period of time to identify research trends, collaboration patterns, and developments of eWOM concepts in the context of e-commerce. The literature selection process was carried out using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the quality and relevance of the studies analyzed. Furthermore, bibliometric analysis is used to map influential keywords, authors, and citation networks in this topic. The results showed that eWOM had a positive and significant influence on online purchasing decisions, which were mediated by trust factors, risk perception, information quality, and source credibility. In addition, it was found that the trend of eWOM research on the Shopee platform has increased significantly in line with the development of digital commerce and online review-based consumer behavior.

vily influenced by peer recommendations and digital promotional strategies. Using a quantitative research approach with stratified random sampling, data were collected from 100 respondents through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the impact of the two independent variables—WOM and promotion—on purchasing decisions. The results showed that WOM has a significant partial influence on purchasing decisions, indicating that peer communication, both traditional and electronic, is a dominant factor in shaping consumer perceptions and preferences. Promotion, on the other hand, did not show a significant partial effect, suggesting that price incentives alone may not be sufficient to influence purchasing behavior unless reinforced by social influence or trust. However, the simultaneous effect of WOM and promotion was statistically significant, emphasizing their combined role in consumer decision-making. The study concludes that WOM is a more dominant and effective marketing tool than standalone promotions and should be central to marketing strategies in the lifestyle-based coffee industry. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of consumer behavior and offer practical implications for enhancing marketing effectiveness through integrated communication approaches.
