The study applied Pseudo-theories and analyzed a total 3543 brand posts from 19 of the 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. The Fan-page content was analyzed using Cross Section Regression ofthe EVIEWS 9 software for its impact on multiple contents upon user's engagement actions. The study explored the content features (content quality, content valence and content volume) of S-O-R (Stimulus -Organism- Response) model and identify their impact on user's engagement actions (Like, comments and shares). The findings of the study will direct e-marketers to apprise informational analyses upon the effectiveness of the posted contents' features.
