Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and brand equity on customer loyalty at Sippin Balige, which operates in a competitive tourism-based market environment. This study addresses the empirical gap where service quality and brand equity are rated highly by customers, but do not significantly shape loyalty. Using a quantitative approach and involving 200 respondents, data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and bootstrapping. The results show that service quality and brand equity have a positive but insignificant effect on customer loyalty, both partially and simultaneously. Bootstrapping analysis reinforced these findings, where the coefficient estimates were stable but the confidence intervals still crossed zero. These findings indicate that customer loyalty is not only determined by service quality and brand equity, but is also influenced by other factors. This study makes a theoretical contribution by highlighting the paradox between positive customer perceptions and low loyalty in the context of the contemporary beverage industry in tourist areas such as Balige.

Abstract

This study examines the development of social media–based marketing strategies for Christina Ulos, a traditional Batak ulos business, by integrating SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces to understand its competitive position in the digital marketplace. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory case study approach, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and supporting literature. The results show that Christina Ulos holds strong internal advantages, such as a long-standing reputation, authentic handwoven craftsmanship, deep cultural meaning in every motif, and a loyal customer base. However, challenges arise from limited production capacity, low digital literacy, and dependence on traditional sales channels. Externally, increasing public interest in local cultural products, government support for UMKM digitalization, and the growth of social media platforms offer significant opportunities. Yet, the presence of low-cost machine-made ulos, shifting consumer preferences, and intense digital competition pose substantial threats. The combined SWOT and Porter’s analyses highlight that social media marketing strategies should focus on cultural storytelling, consumer education about authentic handwoven ulos, optimization of high-quality visual content, marketplace integration, and influencer collaboration. This study concludes that an aggressive and adaptive digital marketing approach is essential for strengthening competitive advantage, expanding market reach, and preserving Batak cultural heritage in the modern digital environment
