We develop a two-period model to investigate a firm\u2019s strategy for introducing a product via an influencer, where there may exist uncertainty in the influencer-product match. For the promotional campaign in the first period, the influencer exerts an effort to sell the product to her followers, who may spread the product information to non-followers via word-of-mouth (WOM). In the second period, the firm sells the product to non-followers. We investigate the firm\u2019s pricing, production, and commission contract decisions, and examine how the decisions are affected by influencer-related factors. Our results indicate that firms may not be better off employing influencers with a larger follower base, and should not always offer a higher commission and a lower price to influencers with a larger follower base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Liping Liang<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><i>Liping Liang <\/i><\/strong><i>is a Professor of Operations Management at the Faculty of Business and the Director of the Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies of Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
