With the rapid development of Internet technology, e-commerce has gradually become an important part of people's daily life. The e-commerce platform provides consumers with a convenient online shopping channel, and also provides a stage for product anchors to showcase and sell products. In the e-commerce environment, the professionalism of product anchors has a significant impact on consumer purchasing intentions. As a key player in e-commerce, product anchors showcase product features, usage methods, and effects to consumers through live streaming, short videos, and other forms. Their level of expertise not only relates to consumer awareness and trust in the product, but also directly affects consumer purchasing decisions. On the one hand, highly professional product anchors can more accurately convey product information, helping consumers better understand and choose suitable products; On the other hand, product anchors with low levels of professionalism may mislead consumers, leading to misunderstandings about the product and reducing
their willingness to purchase. In addition, with the intensification of market competition, the variety of products and the number of anchors on e-commerce platforms are constantly increasing. When faced with numerous choices, consumers often tend to focus on product anchors with higher professional levels. Therefore, the professional level of product anchors has become an important factor affecting consumer purchase intention. This study aims to explore the impact of product anchor professionalism on consumer purchase intention in the e-commerce environment, in order to provide useful references for e-commerce platforms, product anchors, and consumers. The main conclusions are as follows:
(1) From a direct perspective, when product anchors have a deeper
understanding and mastery of the product, they can more effectively promote consumer purchasing decisions. The professional knowledge of product anchors can not only directly promote consumer purchase intention, but also enhance consumer emotional identification and loyalty to the anchor and brand. A deep understanding of the product by the anchor can stimulate emotional resonance among consumers, enhance their enthusiasm for the product, and increase their following of the anchor. When consumers have a positive emotional identification and enthusiasm for a product, anchor, or brand, they are more likely to make a purchase.
(2) From the perspective of intermediary effects, if product anchors can better grasp product knowledge and establish connections with the audience through emotional identification, it will help increase the audience's willingness to purchase. The product anchor's in-depth understanding of the product and communication with the audience through emotional identification can effectively enhance the audience's desire to purchase. The enthusiastic relationship established between product anchors and fans can enhance fans' willingness to purchase the product. The product anchor's deep understanding of the product can be better translated into the audience's purchasing behavior through fan enthusiasm. Brand attachment plays a mediating role between the knowledge mastery of product anchors and the purchase intention of audiences. This means that if the product anchor can establish a brand attachment relationship, it will help increase the audience's willingness to purchase. Finally, brand attachment also plays a mediating role between the depth of understanding of live streaming products by product anchors and the willingness of viewers to purchase. Indicating the product anchor's deep understanding of the product, establishing brand attachment can enhance audience purchasing behavior.
(3) On this basis, this article also puts forward several suggestions and countermeasures, mainly including strengthening professional training for anchors, improving anchor selection mechanisms, establishing emotional identification and fan enthusiasm cultivation strategies, improving brand attachment marketing strategies, and emphasizing consumer satisfaction management.
