levels are smaller than 0.1, multicollinearity may be evaluated by looking at the correlation between variables and computing
               tolerance values and the variance inflation factor (VIF). When there is no link between independent variables with values
               larger than 95%, multicollinearity occurs (Lavery et al., 2019)

               (GI) has significance value (0.44 and 0.27 respectively) shows that the values are more than 0.05 which indicates these two
               variables have a positive relationship with purchase decision.


              ■  5.0 CONCLUSION
               5.1 INTRODUCTION


                       Since social media and the internet are becoming more widely  used, the emergence of social media celebrities (also
               known as influencers) is becoming more widespread. As brands and marketers increasingly turn to social media influencers as
               brand ambassadors, it has become critical to verify the success of influencer marketing as a way of promoting brands and sales.
               Overall, social media content, through use of influencer marketing in lifestyle public relations projects has cracked down the
               barrier between the customer, the product, and followers. Marketing to brand customers was arguably the world until the
               introduction of social influencer marketing. A customer could only view an item through print ads, posters, radio advertising,
               and ad campaigns before the advent of the internet. Generations that are synonym with influencer marketing are of course,
               Generation Y and Z. They are more advanced in terms of technology and development and more alert to the changes happening
               to the world. The marketers have more opportunity to grow their business because they know their impact and their target
               customers.

               care product purchasing decision. It also shows that influencer marketing has influenced most of Generation X and Y purchase
               decision. The study objectives are to investigate the effectiveness of content quality to influence Generation Y and Z purchase
               decision towards influencers marketing, to identify the consistency of influencers' interactions in  influencer marketing to
               influence younger target markets and to study the impact of good influencers strategy in promoting products or services in
               social media are achieved by conducting an online survey to those who have heard/used/interacted  with Daughters of Malaya.
               To draw for us a conclusion for the study, firstly 92.5% of the respondents agreed that influencers are important for business
               and the rest are neutral and disagreed with the statement. 98.1% of them strongly agreed that good influencers’ content will
               help the influencers reach more viewers/target audiences. Every respondent agreed that current trends are vital for influencers
               to apply in their content.

                       Next, based on the responses, we found that current trends are vital for influencers to apply in  their content because
               current  trends  are  where  most  people  are  trying  to  participate  in  and  holds  the  biggest  audience.  In  terms  of
