One of the supreme way of directly connecting with consumers via Social Networking Sites (SNS) is to generate a brand page in Facebook (called fan page) containing products information and publish regular po stings on these pages. Customers will reply differently to these postings.

The study applied Pseudotheories and analyzed a total 3543 brand posts from 19 ofthe most popular B2C (Business to Consumer) fan pages of Malaysia. 12 months' worth of data (From September 2015- August 2016) were collected for analyses, which were available online from the Brand's fan pages.
