Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of content marketing, live streaming, customer reviews, and beauty vloggers on the decision to purchase Scarlett Whitening on TikTok Shop. The population in this study were active students from all faculties at Muhammadiyah University Purwokerto who had used Scarlett Whitening. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 144 respondents in this study . The research analysis test used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as the data analysis technique, utilizing SmartPLS software version 3.0. The results of the study indicate that content marketing, beauty vloggers, and online customer reviews have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, demonstrating the importance of informative, persuasive, and credible digital content in shaping consumer behavior on TikTok Shop. Conversely, live streaming does not show a significant effect on purchasing decisions, suggesting that its effectiveness may depend on execution quality or audience engagement levels. These findings imply that Scarlett Whitening should prioritize strengthening content marketing strategies, collaborating with credible beauty vloggers, and encouraging positive customer reviews to enhance consumer trust and purchase intentions, while reevaluating and optimizing live streaming approaches to improve their impact on purchasing decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of product quality, brand image, and word-of-mouth recommendations on the decision to purchase Wardah cosmetics in Purwokerto. This study involved 120 students from Muhammadiyah University Purwokerto, Jenderal Soedirman University, and UIN Saizu Purwokerto who had used Wardah cosmetics, using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS version 3.0 through external and internal model evaluation. The validity (AVE > 0.5) and reliability (Composite Reliability > 0.7) test results showed that all instruments were valid and reliable. The research results were tested based on the path coefficient value and P value (< 0.05). The results show that product quality, brand image, and word of mouth recommendations have a positive and significant effect on the decision to purchase Wardah cosmetics in Purwokerto. The contribution of this study lies in the integration of the word of mouth variable into the cosmetic purchase decision model, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the role of consumer-to-consumer communication in influencing purchase decisions, particularly for local cosmetic products among students.
