Abstract

This study examines the influence of Green Marketing strategies and Brand Image on Customer Loyalty among Unilever consumers in the Sekip subdistrict of Medan, Indonesia. As climate change and environmental issues increasingly shape consumer preferences, green marketing has become a vital strategy for brands globally. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect insights from Unilever consumers who prioritize eco-friendly products and corporate social responsibility. Results reveal that both Green Marketing and Brand Image significantly affect Customer Loyalty, though the impact may be slightly negative if perceived as insincere. Consumers are more loyal to brands that genuinely integrate sustainable practices, as seen in increased loyalty and sales for Unilever’s Sustainable Living Brands in Medan. However, Green Marketing and Brand Image explain only 13.1% of the variance in Customer Loyalty, with the remaining 86.9% influenced by other factors. These findings offer valuable insights for companies seeking to develop sustainable marketing strategies that resonate with environmentally aware consumers.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low levels of customer involvement and loyalty at The Body Shop Thamrin Plaza Medan, despite the outlet implementing promotions, various programs, and recycling workshops. To address this issue, the study employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 100 customers selected using incidental (convenience) sampling through a structured questionnaire. The data were tested for validity and reliability, were found to meet the classical assumptions of normality and multicollinearity, and were then analyzed using multiple linear regression on SPSS version 25. The t-test shows that digital marketing strategies have a significant positive effect on brand loyalty (β = 0.408, t = 4.703, p < 0.05) while environmentally friendly innovations also have a significant positive effect (β = 0.456, t = 4.765, p < 0.05). The overall F test indicates that both variables collectively explain 58.8% of the variation in brand loyalty (F = 69.278, p < 0.05). These results support all three hypotheses and recommend enhancing digital content personalization as well as regularly scheduling green programs to strengthen relationships with consumers and potentially increase brand loyalty for The Body Shop Thamrin Plaza Medan.
