Abstract

This research aimed to explore the impact of promotional discounts, perceived scarcity, and emotional appeals on the purchasing intentions of college students attending a state university in Cebu City. The study employed a quantitative method that integrated descriptive, correlational, and predictive designs. Data were gathered from 395 students through a modified survey questionnaire, yielding a Cronbach's alpha of 0.924. The study employed descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rho correlation, and multiple regression to test the gathered data. The results showed that all three factors significantly influenced students' purchasing intentions; the highest predictor among the three was emotional appeal, followed by promotional discounts and perceived scarcity. This suggests that students may be influenced by marketing strategies that invoke urgency; however, what ultimately affects them more are those that give emotional sentiments while providing value with discounts and promotions. The study, therefore, concludes that students’ purchasing intentions are probably influenced more by marketing strategies that combine emotional engagement with a reasonable price and scarcity acting as a supporting marketing strategy. Furthermore, this research offers valuable insights into how sales promotions, feelings of scarcity, and emotional appeal impact college students' purchasing intentions.

Abstract

In the highly competitive food and beverage industry, operational efficiency is key to business sustainability; however, fluctuations in tofu consumption in East Jakarta as well as CV Pabrik Tahu Sumedang's production indicate challenges influenced by service quality and suboptimal implementation of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The objective of this research is to examine how Quality Service and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) impact operational performance of CV Pabrik Tahu Sumedang. Operational performance is a crucial aspect of the food and beverage industry that affects efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. The study utilises a quantitative method, gathering data through surveys given to CV Pabrik Tahu Sumedang employees. An analysis of the data was conducted using multiple linear regression to explore the correlation between Quality Service and SOP as independent variables, and Operational Performance as the dependent variable. The findings demonstrate that Quality Service positively and significantly influences Operational Performance. Similarly, the proper implementation of SOPs significantly improves operational efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, simultaneous analysis shows that Quality Service and SOPs together contribute significantly to enhancing Operational Performance. These findings confirm that optimising service quality and consistently implementing SOPs can enhance the factory’s competitiveness and productivity. The originality of this research lies in analyzing the effect of service quality and standard operating procedures on operational performance in the context of the traditional food industry, which still lacks scientific exploration. This approach provides a new contribution in the context of operational management in small-medium enterprises based on local products.
