In the same way, interactivity and information content has a substantial impact on performance expectancy. Moreover, performance expectancy has been shown to have a significant impact on customer purchase intention. The results revealed that performance expectancy while partly mediating the relationships between interactivity and customer purchase intention. Findings of structural equation modeling supported the validity and reliability of current study model. The research results offer various implications on how marketers can effectively plan and implement their ads on social network Facebook.
