Abstract

Through a quantitative approach, this study examines how social media influencers affect Indonesian Generation Z consumer behavior. A heterogeneous group of 450 participants, ranging in age from 16 to 24, was involved, reflecting a range of genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and geographic locations. The results show that social media influencers have a big influence on people's decisions to buy, as 85% of participants acknowledged. The majority platform, Instagram, accounted for 75% of the total, with individuals using social media for two hours a day on average. The most popular content categories (65%) were product and lifestyle reviews, highlighting the significance of authenticity. Transparency (72.5%) and authenticity (67.5%) were important trust-building qualities; on the other hand, inconsistent brand endorsements (30%) and a lack of financial transparency (22.5%) eroded confidence. Sponsored material worked very well (80%), and 60 percent of users preferred partnerships that were authentic. Strong positive correlations between sponsored content, consumer behavior, and influencer engagement were found via regression analysis (R-squared = 0.754). The findings offer significant perspectives for marketers seeking to maneuver through the impactful terrain of Generation Z in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of an omnichannel strategy and content personalization on customer loyalty in the fashion retail industry in Makassar. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 60 respondents through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The study measured the relationships between omnichannel strategy, content personalization, and customer loyalty using a Likert scale (1-5). Results from Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses indicated significant positive relationships between omnichannel strategy and customer loyalty (r = 0.72, p < 0.01) as well as content personalization and customer loyalty (r = 0.68, p < 0.01). The regression model explained 62% of the variance in customer loyalty, confirming the combined influence of these strategies on fostering customer retention. The findings suggest that fashion retailers in Makassar can enhance customer loyalty by offering seamless omnichannel experiences and personalized content that meets individual preferences.
