Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Tomohon City in 2021, as many as 75% of tourists stated that they were interested in visiting this city because of the city branding as "Flower City". However, only around 60% of tourists are satisfied with the quality of its tourism services and facilities. This research aims to analyze the performance of city branding of Tomohon City whether it is in line with expectations according to tourists' assessments so that indicator results are able to be improved and maintained. This research was conducted in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi Province, consisted of two hundred respondents from among tourists to fill out the questionnaire and five respondents from the government and stakeholders for interviews through the sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. The method in this research used Importance Performance analysis, which was then analyzed in the Importance Performance Matrix based on the Cartesian quadrant. The results of this research are based on the importance of performance matrix. Tourism potential indicators are the indicators in quadrant 1, which are considered the most important but have not shown performance that satisfies visitors, causing them to be a priority for improvement.

Abstract

Community-based marketing strategy is a marketing approach that emphasises building and managing an active community of consumers, users, or fans of a brand, with the aim of creating stronger bonds, increasing loyalty, and driving organic growth through positive social interactions. This approach relies on the creation of shared value between the brand and its members, where two-way communication and active customer participation in various activities are key. This strategy focuses on shared experiences, trust, and values shared within the community to drive engagement, positive word-of-mouth, and ultimately, sustainable market development over time. The research method conducted in this study uses the literature research method. The results show that community-based marketing strategies offer various benefits, including increased customer engagement, positive responses through word-of-mouth, and the ability to obtain real-time feedback that provides opportunities for innovation and fulfilment of customer needs more effectively. However, challenges such as the need for a large investment of resources and the difficulty in measuring short-term ROI mean that this strategy requires a patient and consistent approach. Community-based marketing strategies, with the right approach, can be the key for companies to develop markets in a more sustainable way and increase long-term profits.
