The popularity of Social Networking Site and Instant Messaging lead many business companies to interact and promote its products to consumers via Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites, sometimes on instant messaging apps such as Line, QQ and WeChat. In the “2013 Taiwan’s Internet User Shopping Behavior Analysis” by Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) points out that in the category “Which way to buy needed products,” “Browse social network sites” takes up 30.1%, which is the second highest in all option.

According to “Facebook Taiwan Consumer Online Behavior Questionnaire,” a research that Facebook commissioned Kantar TNS to conduct points out the fact that Facebook is the most used social network site by Taiwanese people. Consumers, especially students and young professionals spends more time on Facebook than any other websites, TV and printed media. Facebook has a huge influence on Taiwanese consumer, 50% of Facebook Taiwan consumer searched, bought or sold products on Facebook, 22% of Taiwanese that used Facebook will buy the product after getting recommendations from friends. The sales conversion rate is double the 12% of self-search. From this report, it’s not hard to realize that Facebook is not just a simple social networking site, but a battleground of business marketing. How to promote and popularize product and corporate identity through Facebook become a something that all business corporate must think about.
This research hopes to use text mining as the main technique, with the data from “Taiwan’s Top 10 Online Shopping Sites With The Most Product” provided by EZprice in July 2014, the Facebook fan pages of 10 shopping sites “PChome Online Shopping,” “Momo Shop,” “Yahoo Shopping Center,” “UDN Buy,” “Go Happy Shopping Site,” “PayEasy Women Shop,” “ETMall,” “U-Mall,” “ 7net Online Shopping,” “ASAP Flash Online Shopping” as the research objective, using fan page posts from the day the fan page was created until 2016 as the field of research. Through the list of vocabularies that represent brand personality positioning organized from papers and documents, also by calculating the brand personality positioning emotion score, the result can be used in corporate’s Facebook fan pages as reference when it comes to marketing and brand market position.
