Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of content reviews through the TikTok application in increasing brand awareness among Generation Alpha with a case study of students of Hang Tuah 2 Middle School. Based on the author's findings, 100% of pre-survey respondents stated that TikTok is a very popular platform, and 86% of them often view skincare product review content. However, Generation Alpha has not been able to distinguish objective content from those that are merely marketing strategies. This study uses a quantitative method. This study aims to enable Generation Alpha to be wiser and more critical in assessing the authenticity and objectivity of review content on social media. The study population was 160 students of Hang Tuah 2 Middle School. The number of samples was determined as 115 respondents using a purposive sampling technique with the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 5%. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression using the SPSS 25 application. The results of the t-test showed that content reviews (X) had a positive and significant effect on brand awareness (Y). The coefficient of determination value of 0.612 indicates that 61.2% of the proportion of brand awareness is influenced by content reviews, while the remaining 38.8% is influenced by other variables. Thus, TikTok can be an effective and strategic medium for building brand awareness among young audiences.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and develop a User Experience (UX)-based website to increase customer satisfaction and sales at the Dimsum Maidanii MSME. The background of this study is based on the low level of customer satisfaction with the existing website, where 70% of respondents said they were dissatisfied and 96.7% suggested further development. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with a waterfall model, which includes the stages of needs analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The research sample consisted of 30 customers, 1 business owner, and 2 media experts. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and sales documentation. The evaluation instrument used the System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure user experience and customer satisfaction. The test results showed a SUS score of 95.7 which is included in the "Excellent" category, indicating the website is easy to use and effective in increasing customer interaction. In addition, a comparison of sales data from June (before development) and July 2025 (after development) showed an increase of 3.22%. These findings demonstrate that implementing UX principles on websites impacts customer satisfaction and increases sales. This research confirms that a UX-based digitalization strategy is a strategic step for MSMEs to compete in the digital economy.
