Abstract

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth, particularly in North Sumatra. One such MSME is Rezeky Payet Indonesia, which has recently experienced a decline in competitive advantage, as indicated by decreasing sales volume. This study investigates the influence of innovation and digital marketing as microeconomic drivers of competitive advantage in the Rezeky Payet business. The research population comprises all end consumers who have made purchases at Rezeky Payet, with an undetermined total number. Consequently, the sample size of 96 respondents was determined using the Lemeshow formula, appropriate for unknown population sizes. The results show that both innovation and digital marketing have significant partial effects on competitive advantage. Moreover, when considered simultaneously, these two variables exhibit a strong and statistically significant influence on the competitive advantage of Rezeky Payet. These findings underscore the importance of continuous innovation and effective digital marketing strategies in enhancing the competitive positioning of MSMEs.

Abstract

Point Coffee Indomaret Fresh, located in the Gedung Arca area of Medan, operates in the food and beverage (F&B) sector and currently faces challenges in increasing sales and maintaining market competitiveness. Despite being the only coffee shop in the area, its strategic location appears suboptimal, with limited visibility and accessibility for potential customers. In addition, inadequate service quality has negatively impacted customer satisfaction, contributing to declining consumer purchasing behavior. This study analyzes the economic impact of location and service quality on consumer purchasing decisions at Point Coffee through a quantitative approach. The research population includes all customers of Point Coffee Gedung Arca Medan. Due to the unknown total population, Hair et al.’s (2010) sampling formula is applied, using a maximum multiplier of 10 per indicator across all variables, resulting in a total sample of 90 respondents. The findings reveal that both location and service quality significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions, both individually and jointly. These results underscore the importance of strategic location planning and consistent service improvement in enhancing economic performance and customer retention in competitive retail-based F&B businesses.
