This trend provides new opportunities for the marketers on how they can achieve utmost attention of the consumers using advanced means of communications such as social network sites (SNSs). This study prospected the linkage of revolutionary SNSs toward consumers' BT from emerging nations like Pakistan. The findings revealed the positive relationships of SNSs, (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Youtube, and Pinterest) on consumers' BT. In marketing perspective; this is the one of the pioneer studies that provides insights for strategic management to encourage consumers' BT using SNSs in today's digital era. This study encourages the researchers to reveal further antecedents of SNSs within Pakistan and across the nations, especially with consideration of emerging nations.
