Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of promotional strategies and word of mouth on purchase decisions, with brand awareness as a moderating variable at Bezzie Mini Soccer. Competition in the sports industry, particularly in mini soccer field rentals, is becoming increasingly intense, requiring effective marketing strategies to sustain and enhance consumer purchasing decisions. The research adopts a quantitative approach through a survey method involving 85 respondents who have previously used Bezzie Mini Soccer's services. The data analysis technique employed is Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that both promotional strategies and word of mouth have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Brand awareness also significantly influences purchase decisions and moderates the relationship between promotional strategies and word of mouth with purchase decisions. These findings highlight the importance of consistent promotion, positive recommendations, and strong brand awareness in shaping consumer purchasing behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of price and word of mouth (WOM) on purchasing decisions, with brand image acting as an intervening variable. Conducted at Warkop Agam Stabat, a local coffee shop in Stabat, Indonesia, the study uses a quantitative research method involving primary and secondary data collection from 216 respondents. The data analysis includes descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that price negatively affects both purchasing decisions and brand image, while WOM positively influences brand image but does not directly affect purchasing decisions. However, brand image significantly influences purchasing decisions and mediates the relationships between price, WOM, and purchasing decisions. This study contributes to the understanding of consumer behavior in the context of small local businesses.

Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has increased business actors’ interest in the dropshipping business model, particularly on the Shopee platform. Although this model offers operational convenience and relatively low capital requirements, the failure rate of dropshipping businesses remains high due to dependence on suppliers and affiliates, fluctuations in promotional costs, and the dynamic nature of platform algorithms. This study aims to formulate strategies to minimize dropshipping business failure on Shopee Indonesia through the integration of the Business Model Canvas (BMC), SWOT analysis, and the TOWS Matrix. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with active dropshipping practitioners on Shopee Indonesia. The data were analyzed by mapping the nine elements of the Business Model Canvas, identifying internal and external factors using SWOT analysis, and formulating strategic alternatives through the TOWS Matrix. The findings indicate that the existing dropshipping business model functionally fulfills all nine blocks of the Business Model Canvas; however, it still faces key weaknesses, including high dependence on external parties, substantial promotional cost burdens, and risks arising from changes in platform policies. The integration of SWOT and TOWS analyses generates SO, WO, ST, and WT strategies that emphasize service quality enhancement, optimization of digital marketing, utilization of automation technologies, supplier diversification, and more efficient cost management. This study concludes that the integration of the Business Model Canvas, SWOT analysis, and the TOWS Matrix represents an effective strategic approach to enhancing business stability, competitiveness, and sustainability within the Shopee Indonesia marketplace ecosystem
