Abstract

This study explored the communication strategies employed by live streamers in the Ampera Bridge area of Palembang to build two-way interactions and attract virtual gifts on the TikTok Live platform. Using a descriptive qualitative approach within an interpretive paradigm, the study examined how streamers established a digital presence and employed persuasive tactics in public spaces. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving three primary informants and two supporting informants. The results indicated that streamers employed a systematic communication strategy that encompassed audience recognition, personalized message design, and indirect persuasion techniques that avoided coercion and fostered social presence and parasocial relationships. Within the Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) framework, virtual gifts were identified as transformed nonverbal cues and served as symbolic exchanges of appreciation that strengthened the bond between streamers and their audiences. The study concluded that the effectiveness of these strategies depended on the synergy between streamers’ personal characteristics, real-time engagement, and the use of TikTok’s interactive features, which transformed the popularity of physical public spaces into digital engagement and financial support.

Abstract

The development of social media has created new opportunities for culinary businesses to promote their products through visual content. Instagram, as a visual-based platform, allows businesses to present food products through attractive food photography that may encourage consumer interaction. This study aims to determine the influence of food photography visuals on consumer engagement on Kozy Lab's Instagram account. This research employed a quantitative approach with a questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents. The data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of photo composition, lighting, color, image sharpness, and visual aesthetics on consumer engagement. The results showed that all five visual variables had a significant partial influence on consumer engagement, with significance values below 0.05. Simultaneously, the five variables also had a significant influence, indicated by an F-value of 47.707 and a significance value of 0.000. The regression model produced an R value of 0.847 and an R Square value of 0.717, indicating that food photography visuals explained 71.7% of the variation in consumer engagement. Among the variables, lighting was the most dominant factor, with a standardized beta coefficient of 0.378. These findings indicate that the quality of food photography plays an important role in attracting consumer attention and encouraging engagement with Kozy Lab's Instagram content.
