Among others: expertise, trustworthiness, similarity, familiarity, likeability, and product-match. So, it can be used by marketers as an insight. There were 200 respondents involved in this explanatory quantitative study. The findings revealed that all variables have positive influence to purchase intention. However, it is only expertise, trustworthiness, similarity, familiarity, and likeability that have significant influence. It means, product-match up had insignificant influence to purchase intention.
