Abstract

The fashion industry is a rapidly growing economic sector, but it has a significant impact on the environment. The trend of thrift fashion or buying secondhand clothes has emerged as an alternative form of sustainable consumption that supports the circular economy. This study aims to examine the relationship between sustainability awareness, attitude toward thrift products, perceived value, and consumer purchase intentions in the context of fashion reuse in Indonesia. This study uses a conceptual literature review approach by synthesizing previous research results in the field of sustainable fashion and consumer behavior. The conceptual model is built based on Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and Value–Attitude–Behavior Framework (Homer & Kahle, 1988). The synthesis results show that sustainability awareness does not directly influence purchase intention, but rather through two main mediating pathways: (1) positive attitude toward thrift products as an affective pathway, and (2) perceived value towards the functional, emotional, and social benefits of the product as a cognitive pathway. These two mediators explain how environmental awareness shapes behavioral tendencies without the need to involve external variables such as social norms. Theoretically, this study reinforces our understanding of sustainable consumer behavior. In practical terms, the results provide guidance for thrift fashion MSMEs to emphasize sustainability, quality, and ethical image in their marketing strategies in order to encourage more environmentally friendly consumption behavior.

Abstract: This Community Service Program aims to broaden the knowledge and awareness of women from PKK groups and the local community of Pematang Johar Village regarding ecoprint as an environmentally friendly creative product based on local resources with economic potential. Pematang Johar Village is an agrarian area with 18 existing flagship products from various hamlets, yet ecoprint has never been introduced or developed. The activity was conducted through several stages, including preparation, socialization, and educational sessions using video presentations to demonstrate the ecoprint production process and digital marketplace platforms for product marketing. This program was implemented as an international community service activity involving collaboration between STIE Eka Prasetya and partner universities from Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Approximately 30 participants consisting of PKK members and village residents attended the activity. The results indicate that participants gained new cognitive skills, developed a new perspective on utilizing local leaves as creative resources, and showed strong interest in further developing ecoprint as a village-based economic activity. The evaluation results show a participant satisfaction rate of 98 percent. This program represents an initial step toward women empowerment and the development of ecoprint as a potential new flagship product oriented toward the global market.                Keywords: ecoprint; community service; global marketing; village creative economy; women empowerment Abstrak: Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk membuka wawasan dan meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu ibu PKK serta masyarakat Desa Pematang Johar mengenai ecoprint sebagai produk kreatif berbasis potensi lokal yang ramah lingkungan dan bernilai ekonomi.

Abstract

Rural areas with natural potential and agrarian atmosphere such as Pematang Johar Village present opportunities to be developed into sustainable tourism destinations. However, limitations in lodging facilities and lack of environmentally friendly practices become obstacles in optimizing that potential. Therefore, this community-service activity aims to design and assist the implementation of eco-friendly homestays and lodgings as a new tourist attraction in the village. The implementation methods consist of initial observation and problem identification, training and assistance for lodging managers/owners and community members, and post-implementation evaluation. The results show increased environmental awareness among homestay managers and the community, evidenced by improved building design using local/natural materials, implementation of waste management systems and greening the environment, and establishment of environmentally friendly homestay service standards. These findings indicate that eco-friendly homestay development can serve as an alternative lodging option that strengthens the village’s tourism appeal while supporting environmental preservation and community empowerment. Thus, environmentally conscious lodging innovation is worthy to be adopted as a sustainable tourism model in Pematang Johar Village, with a recommendation that management continues participatively and receives support from the village authority for sustainability.

Abstract

Nou Coffee is a local coffee shop in Medan adopts a modern, fast, efficient, and digitally integrated concept to deliver high-quality coffee. However, consumer loyalty has recently declined, indicated by fewer repeat visits and reduced digital interactions. The implementation of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has often been less effective due to its generalized interactions, highlighting the need for more personalized, data-driven communication to strengthen relationships with consumers. In addition, product quality remains a key factor in building loyalty, including aspects such as taste, consistency, hygiene, raw materials, and comfort. Although Nou Coffee already uses high-quality coffee beans and a digital system, some customers perceive the taste and presentation consistency as unstable. This indicates that product quality is still the primary key to maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty, even more important than technological convenience. The study employed a descriptive quantitative method. The population consisted of all consumers who had made purchases at Nou Coffee, totaling 10,122 customers. Using Slovin’s formula with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error, the sample size was determined to be 385 respondents. The conclusion drawn from this research is that both partially and simultaneously, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Product Quality significantly influence consumer loyalty at Nou Coffee Shop.
