Abstract

This research explores the multifaceted decline in Pizza Hut Indonesia’s sales by distinguishing between consumer boycott motivations and other contributing market forces. A major factor identified is the rise of more affordable alternatives, notably street food vendors, which have attracted cost-conscious consumers and accounted for a significant 30% drop in sales. These vendors offer convenient and budget-friendly meals that align better with evolving consumer spending habits. Despite this, Pizza Hut has shown progress in product enhancement, reflected in a 31% increase in customer satisfaction—driven by menu innovations such as Indonesian-flavored and fusion-style pizzas tailored to diverse local palates. Nevertheless, brand trust has been undermined by health-related perceptions, with 32% of the negative impact attributed to concerns over the nutritional value of offerings. In response, the brand has introduced healthier options, including whole wheat crusts, fresh vegetables, and lean proteins, to regain the confidence of health-conscious customers. Importantly, consumer boycotts have been identified but exert only a minor influence, contributing just 5% to the sales decline. These boycotts stem from issues such as perceived service shortcomings or pricing dissatisfaction, yet have had limited financial repercussions due to counteractive strategies like targeted promotions, loyalty schemes, and improved service quality. Additionally, macroeconomic conditions have imposed a 2% impact, compelling Pizza Hut to adapt pricing strategies during periods of financial constraint, such as offering value deals to sustain customer interest. In conclusion, this study highlights the necessity of differentiating brand-related backlash from broader market shifts.

Abstract

In the era of the Internet, where consumers are perpetually connected and information about diverse products is readily accessible, the dynamics of the consumer purchase decision process have undergone a profound transformation. This shift is marked by an increased emphasis on information-seeking activities before the physical encounter with products on store shelves. Two pivotal concepts, the First Moment of Truth (FMoT) and the Zero Moment of Truth (ZMoT), have emerged to elucidate crucial junctures in this process. FMoT underscores the significance of the in-store experience and the initial seconds when consumers engage with brands on shelves. In contrast, ZMoT spotlights the online research phase preceding the purchase decision, encompassing the use of electronic Word of Mouth (e-WoM) to make informed choices. This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the ZMoT concept, establishing connections with existing academic literature. Additionally, it draws on a prior study conducted in the US market as a reference point to explore the impact of the Zero Moment of Truth on consumer behavior in the context of Bengkalis Island. The research scrutinizes results across diverse demographic segments, offering valuable insights into the nuanced interplay between ZMoT and actual buying behavior. Ultimately, these findings are juxtaposed with those of previous research, enriching our understanding of the evolving landscape of consumer decision-making. Keywords: Zero Moment of Truth (ZMoT), buying decision process and impulse buying
