Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of Viral Marketing and Product Quality on Purchase Decisions regarding K-pop merchandise among students of SMA Swasta Mentari Bangsa Medan. The sample for this research consists of 16 respondents who have previously purchased K-pop merchandise. The analytical method employed in this study is quantitative, with data collected as primary data derived from respondents' answers to distributed questionnaires. The data processing method used is multiple linear regression analysis, employing SPSS version 23. The data collection method used is purposive sampling. The results of the partial hypothesis testing indicate that viral marketing does not have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, whereas product quality does have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. The results of the simultaneous hypothesis testing (F-test) demonstrate that both viral marketing and product quality influence purchase decisions, with an F-value of 17.630 and a significance value of 0.000. Therefore, based on the F-value (17.630) being greater than the critical F-value (3.74), the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, with a significance level (0.000) being less than alpha (0.005), indicating a very significant relationship due to the significance value (0.000).

The synergy of both factors significantly influences purchasing decisions, where marketing strategies stimulate initial interest and service quality ensures repeat purchases. In conclusion, MSMEs in Medan must integrate creative marketing strategies with consistent service quality to enhance consumer purchasing decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the influence of relationship marketing and promotion on consumer satisfaction in culinary MSMEs in Medan City. The research background highlights the rapid growth of culinary businesses and intense competition, requiring entrepreneurs to rely not only on product quality but also on marketing strategies that foster consumer loyalty. Relationship marketing emphasizes communication, service, and trust, while promotion introduces products, increases sales, and builds brand image through discounts, bundling packages, social media, and influencer collaborations. A descriptive approach was applied, using observation, interviews, and literature review. Findings reveal that relationship marketing enhances consumer satisfaction through personal interaction and friendly service, while promotion provides added value via affordable pricing and emotional engagement. The synergy of both strategies creates stronger effects: promotion attracts new consumers, while relationship marketing ensures existing ones remain loyal. In conclusion, combining effective promotional strategies with consistent relationship marketing is essential for culinary MSMEs in Medan to achieve consumer satisfaction and strengthen competitiveness.
