credibility (p-value = 0.002) demonstrate substantial influence on maintaining customer
loyalty. Model:-The Research model developed with the help of three different constructs

the antecedents of online marketing follwed by social media as a mediating factor and the
dependent variable is customer retention and loyalty. The model satisfed mesasurement fit
indices GFI>.80 and AGFI>.80. Research Methodology:-The research methodology
involved the utilization of structured, closed-ended questionnaires administered through
simple random sampling. Statistical Techniques:-including descriptive and inferential
analyses such as correlation, regression, and structural equation modeling, were applied to
evaluate the collected data. Model assessment criteria, including GFI, AGFI, NFI, and TLI
