The 5% sample rate, 384 people constitute a reliable number for the infinite universe. The sample of the research consists of 400 people selected by easy sample. Data analysis in the study was done in SPSS 16 package program. In the analysis of the data, Mann - Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis H Test, which are nonparametric tests, were applied as the result of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage. It was confirmed that there was a relationship between e wom and Instagram product preference.
