Abstract

The Indonesian cosmetics industry faces intense competition, with local brands like Skin Mandatory struggling to maintain consumer purchase intention in e-commerce settings. This study aims to examine how influencer credibility, influencer attractiveness, and online customer reviews shape consumer attitudes, and their subsequent impact on brand loyalty, brand awareness, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), and purchase intention. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 400 respondents who purchased Skin Mandatory products via e-commerce platforms using an online questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. The findings confirm that influencer credibility, attractiveness, and online reviews have a significant impact on consumer attitudes, which in turn drive brand loyalty, brand awareness, and eWOM, ultimately influencing purchase intention. However, influencer attractiveness and eWOM showed weaker effects, likely due to a mismatch with the brand’s natural skincare image and low consumer engagement in sharing online recommendations. The study concludes that Skin Mandatory should align influencer selection with its brand identity and enhance eWOM through user-generated content campaigns to boost purchase intention. These findings offer practical strategies for local cosmetic brands to strengthen consumer engagement in competitive e-commerce markets.

Abstract

The fitness industry in Indonesia has undergone a rapid transformation, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, which heightened public interest in health and home-based exercise. This shift has encouraged brands like Gymfitnessindo to adopt digital marketing strategies to influence consumer behavior. This study aims to analyze the impact of Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) and Social Media Marketing (SMM) on Purchase Intention, with Customer Satisfaction as a mediating variable and ICT Effectiveness and Endorsement as moderating variables. A quantitative research design was used, collecting data from 220 respondents via purposive sampling using Google Forms. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that eWOM and SMM do not directly affect Purchase Intention. However, both significantly influence Purchase Intention indirectly through Customer Satisfaction. Conversely, ICT Effectiveness and Endorsement do not significantly moderate the relationship between Customer Satisfaction and Purchase Intention. The study concludes that digital marketing strategies are only effective in influencing Purchase Intention when mediated by Customer Satisfaction. This highlights the critical role of satisfaction in the digital purchase journey, especially in high-involvement products such as fitness equipment.

Abstract

The development of digital technology makes the brand community a key strategy to build loyalty in the beauty industry. This study examines the "Glow Up Agents" community by BHUMI Skincare, using the KITE (Knowledge, Involvement, Trust, Engagement) framework to analyze its influence on brand community engagement and brand loyalty. The PLS-SEM method was used with questionnaire data from active members to 184 respondents. The results showed that the entire hypothesized relationship was positively significant: the KITE dimension influenced member participation, which in turn increased brand loyalty. It affirms the important role of understanding, interaction, and trust. Practical advice includes community optimization, while academic advice recommends exploring additional variables for deeper understanding.

Abstract

The growing penetration of the internet and advances in digital technology have significantly enhanced the marketing efforts of training organizations (LPKs) in Indonesia. Although many LPKs utilize digital marketing to support candidate placement in Japan, data from two institutions in East and West Java reveal that most trainees enrolled through channels other than social media. This study examines the impact of digital marketing on purchase intention in Indonesian LPKs. Using data collected from 384 respondents and analyzed with SEM-PLS 4.0, the results confirm a positive and significant relationship between digital marketing and purchase intention. These findings highlight the need for LPKs to develop stronger digital content strategies that resonate with their target audiences. The study is limited to two provinces and a quantitative method, which may not fully capture broader socio-cultural factors.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, Digital Content Marketing (DCM) has become a key strategy for increasing B2B customer engagement. Telkomsel Enterprise uses various digital platforms to distribute educational content, product promotions, and case studies supporting the customer journey. However, challenges remain in ensuring that content effectively aligns with customer journey stages to maximize engagement and business outcomes. This research aims to analyze the effect of content–customer journey stage fit on content engagement and firm engagement, while testing the mediating role of content engagement and the moderating effects of social media usage frequency and organizational position. This research employed a quantitative approach using scenario-based online experiments. Data were collected from 420 B2B customers of Telkomsel Enterprise who had been exposed to the company's digital marketing content. Analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine direct, mediating, and moderating relationships. Results show that perceived content–journey fit significantly increases content engagement, which fully mediates its effect on firm engagement. Social media usage frequency strengthens the impact of content–journey fit on content engagement, while higher organizational position weakens the effect of content engagement on firm engagement.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores factors influencing users’ behavioral intention and actual usage of the BIMA mobile banking application by PT Bank Jateng. It applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), enhanced with contextual variables such as mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and satisfaction. Research/methodology: A quantitative approach was conducted through a survey of 384 BIMA users. Data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. Reliability and validity were tested with AVE and Composite Reliability, while model fit was assessed through SRMR, NFI, R², and Q² values. Results: Of 13 hypothesized paths, 10 were supported. Mobile self-efficacy strongly affected perceived enjoyment, which significantly influenced performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and satisfaction. Satisfaction emerged as the most influential factor on intention to use, which in turn impacted usage behavior. Social influence and facilitating conditions also contributed positively. However, performance expectancy did not significantly affect satisfaction, and both effort expectancy and facilitating conditions showed no significant effect on intention to use. Conclusions: Emotional factors like enjoyment and satisfaction, together with social influence, dominate over functional aspects in shaping adoption and continued use of mobile banking, suggesting a shift toward user experience-driven digital banking strategies. Limitations: The study is limited to one application, cross-sectional design, and PLS-SEM, reducing broader generalization. Contribution: This research extends UTAUT by incorporating emotional and contextual variables, providing practical insights for  enhancing user experience and digital adoption in regional banking.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the factors influencing users’ behavioral intention and actual usage behavior of the BIMA mobile banking application by PT Bank Jateng. It applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), enriched with contextual variables including mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and user satisfaction. Research/methodology: A quantitative method was adopted through a structured survey of 384 BIMA users. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS. Validity and reliability were tested using AVE and Composite Reliability, while model fit was assessed through SRMR, NFI, R², and Q² values. Results: Out of 13 hypothesized relationships, 10 were supported. Mobile self-efficacy significantly influenced perceived enjoyment, which in turn strongly affected performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and satisfaction. Consumer satisfaction emerged as the most influential factor affecting intention to use, which subsequently impacted usage behavior. Social influence and facilitating conditions also significantly influenced behavioral outcomes. However, performance expectancy did not significantly influence satisfaction, and both effort expectancy and facilitating conditions showed no significant impact on intention to use. Conclusions: Emotional factors like perceived enjoyment and satisfaction, along with social influences, play a more dominant role than purely functional factors (e.g., effort or performance expectancy) in determining adoption and continued use of mobile banking. The findings suggest a shift from technical-centric to user experience-centric approaches in digital banking development. Limitations: This study focuses solely on the BIMA mobile banking app using a cross-sectional design and PLS-SEM method. It does not account for moderating or mediating variables and may limit generalizability beyond the study context. Contribution: The study extends the UTAUT model by adding emotional and contextual factors to better explain mobile banking usage and offers practical insights for improving user experience and digital adoption in regional banking.

Conclusions: SMMA plays a vital role in building brand loyalty by enhancing brand-related psychological factors. Integrated social media marketing efforts have proven to be valuable in creating strong brand-consumer relationships. Limitations: The study’s scope was limited to one company and used self-reported survey data, which may affect generalizability.
