This study aims to investigate the purchasing behavior of Instagram users in the UAE and understand the factors influencing their purchase decisions. Data was collected from 10 respondents through personal interviews, focusing on their demographics, frequency of Instagram usage, purchasing behavior, and the role of social media influencers. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were female Emiratis in their early twenties who use Instagram daily for both personal and business purposes. They reported making purchases through Instagram, with social media influencers significantly impacting their decisions. However, concerns about the authenticity of products were noted. This study provides valuable insights into the behavior of Instagram users in the UAE and underscores the importance of social media influencers in shaping purchase decisions. The findings suggest that businesses in the UAE should leverage Instagram as a marketing tool and ensure the authenticity and reliability of their products to avoid negative customer experiences. Future studies can explore the purchasing behavior of Instagram users in other countries and investigate the impact of various marketing strategies on their purchasing decisions.
