Abstract

Changing market needs require businesses to not only produce marketable products but also understand consumers, create product identities, and adapt to evolving trends. Limited access to information, limited digital marketing skills, and a lack of training and mentoring also pose significant obstacles to the growth of MSMEs. To address these challenges, business management training is being implemented to improve competencies, particularly for MSMEs. This training is conducted in a structured, phased manner, beginning with a preparation phase that includes identifying MSME needs through surveys and direct interviews. The business management training program for MSMEs has resulted in improved product presentation, including packaging, branding, and promotional narratives. Post-training mentoring is a key factor in the program's success.

Abstract

This study investigates the indirect effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Product Innovation on Business Performance through Digitalization as an intervening variable in the cracker industry of Garut City. As SME play a vital role in economic resilience and local development, enhancing their business performance is crucial. Entrepreneurial Orientation and Product Innovation are widely recognized as key strategic capabilities, while Digitalization offers transformative potential for operational efficiency and market expansion. A quantitative method was used with a sample of 316 cracker SME actors selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 3.0 version. The findings confirm that Entrepreneurial Orientation and Product Innovation significantly directly affect Business Performance and significantly influence Digitalization. Moreover, Digitalization has a strong positive effect on Business Performance and significantly mediates the relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Product Innovation toward Business Performance. These findings highlight the strategic integration of entrepreneurial behavior, innovation, and digital adoption as a pathway to enhanced performance among SME in the digital era. This research contributes to theoretical development and practical guidance for small business transformation. Future studies should include broader industry samples and explore additional moderating or mediating factors such as organizational culture or customer experience.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of Social Media Marketing (SMM) and Product Design on Repurchase Intention with Customer Satisfaction as a mediating variable among Compass shoe users, using a quantitative SEM-PLS approach with 107 respondents. The results indicate that SMM has a significant effect on Repurchase Intention, while Product Design significantly affects Repurchase Intention but not Customer Satisfaction, and Customer Satisfaction does not serve as a strong mediator in the relationship between Product Design and Repurchase Intention. These findings suggest that effective digital marketing strategies through social media are more capable of building loyalty and driving repurchase intention than relying solely on product design, although design remains crucial in shaping consumer perception and attractiveness. The R² value of 0.915 and Q² value of 0.767 confirm the model's excellent predictive power. The practical implication is that local fashion brands like Compass should optimize consumer interaction through social media by leveraging creative content, influencer collaborations, and #localpride narratives to strengthen brand image, while also developing design innovations that balance functional, aesthetic, and comfort aspects to enhance the overall customer experience. This demonstrates that customer satisfaction acts as an important bridge in reinforcing the impact of digital strategies on loyalty, making the integration of social media marketing and market-oriented product design a key factor in increasing repurchase intention and boosting the competitiveness of the local footwear industry.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of service quality and product quality on customer retention, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, in the context of Basreng (fried meatball) products in PD Mekarsari Garut. A quantitative approach was employed, entailing the distribution of questionnaires to 384 respondents selected through non-probability sampling with the Purposive sampling method. The data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). The findings of the study suggest a positive and significant relationship between service quality (X1) and product quality (X2) on customer satisfaction (Z). Furthermore, the study found that customer satisfaction (Z) significantly influences customer retention (Y). Furthermore, service quality (X1) and product quality (X2) exert a direct and indirect influence on customer retention (Y), with customer satisfaction (Z) functioning as a mediating factor. The R-square values of 0.625 for customer satisfaction (Z) and 0.425 for customer retention (Y) suggest that the model possesses adequate predictive capability. These findings underscore the significance of maintaining and enhancing service quality (X1) and product quality (X2) to foster customer satisfaction (Z) and cultivate long-term retention. The practical implications of this study suggest that businesses, particularly Basreng PD Mekarsari, should prioritize enhancing their service and product quality as a strategy to maintain customer retention in a competitive market.

Abstract

The training on marketing management for tobacco entrepreneurs in Garut Regency aimed to strengthen participants’ competencies in pricing, product differentiation, market segmentation, and digital marketing. Conducted at a central venue, the program involved entrepreneurs from multiple tobacco-producing areas and was supported by the Department of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) to enhance technical assistance and market access. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, employing in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory observation. Findings indicated a 28% average improvement in participants’ knowledge, alongside new initiatives such as adopting eco-friendly packaging and establishing collaborative marketing groups. Nevertheless, challenges were identified, including limited financial resources, resistance to innovation, and unequal internet connectivity. The participatory approach proved successful in stimulating innovation; however, sustained mentoring remains essential to ensure the long-term implementation of marketing strategies and to reinforce local economic resilience.

Abstract

This study examines the combined effects of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and social media marketing on customer satisfaction, with purchase decisions serving as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 269 online shoppers and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM).

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how Product Performance Quality and Brand Awareness of Indachi Prima products in West Java influence customer satisfaction. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study applies quantitative techniques with a saturated sampling approach to test the relationships between these factors. The results indicate that brand awareness has a significant influence on customer satisfaction (p = 0.000), while product performance quality also significantly affects customer satisfaction, albeit to a lesser degree (p = 0.000). This model demonstrates good data consistency, with both factors playing important roles in shaping consumer satisfaction. The findings suggest that, while both product performance quality and brand awareness are beneficial to consumers, brand awareness has a stronger influence on customer satisfaction than product performance quality. Based on these results, businesses, particularly in the textile industry, should prioritize enhancing brand awareness through targeted marketing campaigns, social media engagement, and strategic partnerships to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the relative importance of brand awareness and product performance quality in influencing customer satisfaction, offering practical insights for companies looking to improve their market positioning through effective brand management strategies.
