It explores the dynamic interplay between luxury brands, social media, and consumer behavior, elucidating the role of platforms such as Facebook in facilitating engagement.

The study underscores the necessity for luxury brands to offer immersive digital experiences that provide not only functional information but also joy, pleasure, and entertainment during the purchase journey. As digital marketing influences a substantial portion of luxury sales, cultivating long-term relationships through social media becomes paramount. The luxury sector's journey into social media involves refining strategies for fostering consumer communities, gathering feedback, and integrating user-generated content. By delving into these facets, this research contributes to the understanding of how luxury brands can navigate the digital landscape to forge lasting connections with their discerning consumers.
