Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, such as percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, inferential statistics, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) and evaluated by statistical software.
The results of these analyses showed that the general information of social shoppers is more female than male. Most of them are between 31-40 years old with a bachelor’s degree, working as employee and earning the highest average monthly income between 30,001-40,000 baht.

The samples have the strongest opinion on creating shared values, whereas the strong opinions are creative content marketing in terms of consumer loyalty and customer brand engagement respectively.
According to the analysis results of Structural Equation Model, it was founded that the results were consistent with the empirical data in a good level and revealed the value of Chi – Square 84.21/ P-Value .06 / CMIN/df 1.28 / CFI 0.99 / GFI 0.98 / AGFI 0.93 / RMSEA 0.03 / NFI 0.98 /IFI 0.99 / RMR 0.02 indicated that the model was consistent with the empirical data or OK Fit Confirm.
