The population for this study consists of 22,388 Generation Z individuals (aged 14–28 years old) in Lubuk Pakam, and quantitative data is used. Using the Slovin formula, 100 Generation Z respondents were obtained. The questionnaire data was tested for validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha, then the data was analyzed using normality tests, multiple linear regression, multicollinearity, T-tests, F-tests, and determination coefficient calculations (R²). The regression equation Customer Satisfaction = 7.347 + 0.371 Fintech + 0.424 Digital Marketing + e means that both variables have a positive effect. The results of the study show that fintech and digital marketing have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. Fintech (t = 4.395 sig < 0.05), with its ease, practicality, trust, speed, and transaction security of fintech, can improve customer experience and satisfaction. Digital marketing has a positive and significant effect (t = 6.539, sig < 0.05), proving that content marketing, influencer marketing, and digital discount vouchers are effective in increasing customer engagement and satisfaction. Simultaneously, the coefficient of determination of 61% indicates that the variables studied contribute significantly to customer satisfaction.

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing parents’ decisions in selecting private elementary schools, particularly at SD Swasta Talitakum, which has experienced a decline in student enrollment in recent years. This condition reflects a shift in parents’ preferences in choosing schools for their children amid increasing competition among educational institutions. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of location, education costs, and school facilities on parents’ decisions. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consists of all parents of students at SD Swasta Talitakum, totaling 111 respondents, using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS, along with validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that partially, location and school facilities have a positive and significant effect on parents’ decisions, while education costs have no significant effect. Simultaneously, all variables significantly influence parents’ decisions. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.215 indicates that the model explains 21.5% of the variation in parents’ decisions, while the remaining is influenced by other variables outside the model. This study contributes empirically to the field of educational management and provides practical insights for schools to improve competitiveness through enhancing facilities and accessibility.

Abstract

This community service project aims to bridge the managerial gap in traditional Kupi Aceh businesses in Medan City through intensive assistance in implementing practical management, thereby enhancing competitiveness without diminishing its cultural identity. The project adopted a modified Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework, involving 5 partner Kupi Aceh coffee shops with 15 participants. The intervention phases encompassed problem diagnostics, offline training, and on-site mentoring for four weeks. The effectiveness of cognitive understanding was measured using Normalized Gain (N-Gain), while the operational impact was assessed through observations of raw material inefficiency trends. The results indicated a significant increase in managerial literacy, demonstrated by the participants' average N-Gain scores falling into the medium-to-high category (0.64–0.80). Operationally, compliance with cloud-based digital bookkeeping applications and the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOP) successfully enhanced the partners' competitiveness indicators. This was reflected in daily cash flow transparency, the mitigation of fraud risks, and a drastic reduction in raw material inventory inefficiencies by preventing overstock and stock-out risks. In conclusion, the implementation of adaptive practical management is proven effective in transforming family-run governance into a more systematic and efficient structure. Operational standardization and digitalization serve as robust catalysts for the competitiveness of traditional culinary MSMEs amidst modern market disruptions.

Abstract

The increasing use of mobile phones in Indonesia has intensified competition in the smartphone retail industry and influenced consumer purchasing behavior. Metta Cell Denai Medan, a local smartphone retailer, has experienced a decline in sales in recent years, indicating reduced consumer purchase interest. Preliminary observations suggest that this decline is associated with suboptimal experiential marketing practices and low levels of consumer trust, particularly in terms of service quality, transparency, and transaction convenience. This study aims to examine the influence of experiential marketing and consumer trust on purchase decisions. This research adopts a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 110 consumers, with the sample size determined based on indicator-based estimation techniques. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on purchase decisions. The findings reveal that experiential marketing and consumer trust each have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Furthermore, both variables jointly contribute to shaping consumer purchasing behavior. These results highlight the importance of creating meaningful customer experiences and building trust as strategic priorities for improving purchase decisions in the smartphone retail sector.

Abstract

Rendahnya literasi keuangan di kalangan ibu rumah tangga sering kali memicu perilaku konsumsi impulsif dan kurangnya perencanaan finansial jangka panjang. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas manajerial keuangan dan kesadaran perencanaan masa depan bagi ibu rumah tangga di Medan. Metode penerapan yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Learning System (PALS) yang mencakup tiga tahapan utama: persiapan melalui observasi fenomena lapangan dan wawancara, pelaksanaan melalui edukasi interaktif serta workshop simulasi anggaran, dan evaluasi untuk mengukur ketercapaian sasaran melalui pre-test serta post-test. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada aspek kognitif peserta dengan kenaikan skor rata-rata literasi keuangan sebesar 45%. Secara psikomotorik, 85% peserta berhasil menyusun rencana anggaran bulanan secara mandiri dan mulai mengalokasikan dana darurat. Kesimpulannya, program ini efektif dalam mengubah pola pikir konsumtif menjadi produktif-terencana, sekaligus memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi keluarga. Keberhasilan ini didukung oleh luaran berupa buku saku manajemen keuangan yang relevan dengan kondisi sosial masyarakat sasaran.
