It is a signal that automatically initiates a certain psychological and behavioral reaction pattern formed earlier. In the concept of influencer marketing, a trigger is a psychological stimulus that causes an involuntary association with a brand or its products. When choosing a probable trigger that has the potential to appear in marketing communications, it is worth paying attention to three factors: the frequency of the trigger’s appearance in the consumer’s everyday life; the strength of the trigger’s association with the brand or its products; time and place of the trigger (conditions of its occurrence) [2, p. 20]. The main task of the trigger, as a part of viral marketing model, is to make the consumer want to generate content or distribute existing content, regardless of the feasibility of buying and using the brand’s products.enmarketingmarketing communicationstrigger vectorFunctioning of the trigger in marketing communicationsArticle
