The use of social media marketing (SMM) use in the garment sector is increasing daily, and well-known brands are shifting their marketing campaign to social media. This study aims to assert the relationship between SMM customer- brand engagement (CBE) and brand knowledge (BK). For this purpose, data were collected from online garment buyers through a questionnaire. Results of the study show that SMM significantly enhances the CBE and BK. Results further elaborate that the CBE substantially mediates the relationship between SMM and BK. This study will bridge the gap in the literature between SMM and CBE. Moreover, this study will help the management of garment brands to shift their marketing campaign on social media to meet the requirements of modern marketing tools. Although this study only focuses on garments brands, future researchers can apply the model of this study to other brands and also enhance the sample size.

This research examines the impact of green marketing and its factors on purchase intention through green brand trust and image. It examines the correlation between six concepts: green knowledge, environmental attitude and knowledge, green image, green trust, and purchase intention. An empirical survey was used to test the hypotheses. Data were collected from a total of 300 respondents from Pakistan, and structural equation modeling (SPSS-AMOS) is proposed to assess the relationships of the research model. The findings show a significant positive association between practical green marketing approaches (green knowledge, attitude, environmental knowledge, and purchase intention for green products); additionally, green products with high ecological qualities create a positive intention towards consumer choice. Furthermore, green marketing approaches (green knowledge, attitude, and environmental knowledge) directly and significantly influence green image and trust. This study suggests that green approaches can be used as a brand marketing strategy to enhance customer purchase intention. The study also found that green marketing can help brands achieve and maintain brand equity. This research explores the relationship between the multidimensional green marketing approaches (green knowledge, attitude, and environmental knowledge) to enhance the purchase intention of green products; the creation of an overpowering market brand was one of its primary objectives. This study offers managerial implications for the development of green firms.
