Abstract: Marketers use commanding messages to influence online behavior. This research finds that such messages can embarrass observing-consumers and reduce engagement. Negative effects are stronger in non-product-focused conversations, but relationship strength, brand warmth, and consumers' need to belong can mitigate them. This research emphasizes language style in social media marketing.
