In today's digital landscape, social media platforms have become instrumental in shaping consumer trust and fostering brand loyalty. This review examines the mechanisms through which social media influences consumer perceptions and loyalty behaviours. Key factors include the creation of online brand communities, direct consumer-brand interactions, and the strategic use of influencer partnerships. The study highlights that authentic and transparent communication on social media enhances brand credibility, while personalized content and responsive engagement strengthen the emotional bond between consumers and brands. Additionally, user-generated content and social proof, such as customer reviews and testimonials, play a significant role in building trust and encouraging repeat patronage. By analysing current trends and case studies, this paper provides insights into effective social media strategies that drive consumer trust and cultivate brand loyalty in the digital age.
