Abstract

This study investigates the influence of a healthy lifestyle and price perception on purchase intention at Ahin Vegetarian in Medan. Employing a quantitative research design with primary data sources, the research targets prospective consumers who intend to make purchases at Ahin Vegetarian during the 2024 period, although the exact population size remains unknown. A total of 110 respondents were selected using incidental sampling techniques. The results of the partial t-test indicate that a healthy lifestyle does not have a statistically significant effect on purchase intention. Conversely, price perception shows a significant and positive impact on consumers’ intention to buy. The findings from the simultaneous test demonstrate that both variables, healthy lifestyle and price perception, jointly exert a significant influence on purchase intention. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) reveals that a portion of the variation in purchase intention can be explained by these two independent variables. These results suggest that while health-oriented behaviors may shape general consumer attitudes, price perception is a more decisive factor in influencing specific purchasing decisions within the vegetarian food market. This study provides practical implications for business owners and marketers in the vegetarian food industry, highlighting the importance of perceived price value in stimulating consumer interest and enhancing sales performance.

Abstract: Information technology is currently developing rapidly. Gadgets as a form of technological development is a common tool used by all circles. Gadgets such as smartphones, tablets or laptops allow users to search for any information instantly via the internet. In the world of education, the presence of these gadgets can have both positive and negative impacts on students. Through gadgets, students can learn online, access e-books, watch educational videos and attend online classes. Gadgets facilitate communication through text messaging, voice calls, video calls and social media anytime and anywhere. Students can interact with teachers through apps like Zoom and Google Meet. Despite their benefits in terms of information access and learning, unwise use can affect students' behaviour and ethics, such as lack of manners, dependence on social media, and reduced in-person social interaction. Through this activity, students of SMA WR Supratman 1 Medan were given an understanding of the benefits and risks of using gadgets, as well as how to use them wisely and responsibly.

Abstract

Indonesia's fashion sector has grown dramatically in recent years, driven primarily by influencer marketing's ascent to prominence in advertising and consumer interaction. Within this dynamic framework, influencer credibility—which includes competence, trustworthiness, and attractiveness—has emerged as a critical component in influencing consumer purchasing decisions. This study uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the complex relationship between customer behavior and influencer credibility in the Indonesian fashion business. It combines quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. Our research suggests that dependability and competence are important aspects of influencer credibility that favorably affect consumers' decisions to buy. Although relevant, attractiveness has a relatively smaller impact. Furthermore, it was found that cultural relevance was a significant element, as consumers favored influencers that shared the norms and values of Indonesian culture. These insights offer a deeper knowledge of the interaction between influencers and customers in Indonesia's dynamic fashion market, which is helpful advice for influencers and marketers alike as they try to optimize their tactics in this quickly changing scene.
