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.

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.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the palm oil industry in North Sumatra encourages companies to increase their competitiveness, one of which is through achieving customer satisfaction. This study aims to determine the effect of company reputation, customer trust, and distribution channels on customer satisfaction at PT Inti Palm Sumatra, both partially and simultaneously. The study was conducted quantitatively using a survey method through a questionnaire distributed to 46 customers of PT Inti Palm Sumatra in 2024, which were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out through validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression, and t-tests and F-tests. The results of the study showed that partially, company reputation, customer trust, and distribution channels each had a significant effect on customer satisfaction. Simultaneously, the three variables were also proven to have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. Thus, all hypotheses in this study are accepted. These findings emphasize the importance of improving the company's image, building trust, and effective distribution arrangements as strategies to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty amidst increasingly fierce business competition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Green Product and Brand Experience in the decision of Grab service users in Medan City. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method, involving 140 respondents who use Grab services in Medan City. Data was collected through a questionnaire that measured respondents' perception of Green Product, Brand Experience, and their decision to use Grab services. Validity and reliability tests were carried out to ensure the validity of the research instruments, with results showing that all instruments were valid and reliable. The data obtained was analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the influence of independent variables (Green Product and Brand Experience) on dependent variables (User Decisions). The results of the study show that Green Product and Brand Experience have a significant influence on users' decisions to choose Grab services. Simultaneously, these two variables influence user decisions, with Green Products contributing to increased environmental awareness, while Brand Experience affects users' perception and loyalty to the Grab brand. The regression model used in this study meets classical assumptions, such as normality, the absence of multicollinearity, and the absence of heteroscedasticity, so this model can be relied upon for further analysis. Based on these findings, Grab is advised to further optimize the promotion of GrabElectric services as an environmentally friendly product and continue to improve the brand experience to attract more users, especially those who care about environmental sustainability issues. This research contributes to the understanding of how environmental factors and brand experience can influence users' decisions in choosing app-based transportation services.

Abstract

Samosir Island is one of the leading tourist destinations in the Toba Caldera Geopark area. So many factors are related to the intention of tourists revisiting Samosir Island. So the research aims to prove: 1) the influence of tourist attraction and service quality on interest in reintention visiting Samosir Island; and 2) its influence through visitor satisfaction as an intervening. A total of 274 local tourists responded to a questionnaire distributed directly with the support of the Tourism Office of Samosir Regency and students. Collected data using a questionnaire that has been valid and reliable. The research team periodically collects information from tourists visiting Samosir Island, which takes about two months. The data analysis technique uses path analysis with the SPSS application. Research findings reveal that tourist attraction, service quality, and visitor satisfaction affect the reintention of tourists to Samosir Island. Service quality is the dominant predictor in the regression model. However, visitor satisfaction is not effective as an intervention that strengthens the intention of tourists to visit again. The implication of this paper is that visitor satisfaction needs to be improved by providing various facilities and infrastructure that support the optimization of service quality on Samosir Island. Thus providing a domino effect on increasing tourist visits to Samosir Island. Keywords: reintention,  tourist attraction, service quality, visitor satisfaction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM), electronic service quality, and trust on customer loyalty at PT Bilah Baja Makmur Abadi. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method with 167 customers as respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that e-CRM, electronic service quality, and trust each significantly influence customer loyalty both individually and when considered together. Specifically, e-CRM had the highest contribution to customer loyalty, followed by trust and electronic service quality. The research also found that these three factors, when combined, explain over 50% of the variance in customer loyalty. The study contributes to existing theories by linking traditional customer relationship management to modern digital practices and highlights the critical role of trust and service quality in driving customer loyalty in the digital era. The research provides valuable insights for businesses aiming to enhance customer loyalty through digital platforms and offers recommendations for future studies to explore additional factors such as customer satisfaction and brand image.
