Abstract

The rapid growth of the used car trading sector in Makassar City has not been matched by sufficient digital marketing competencies among its business actors. This community service activity aims to strengthen the digital capacity of the Turbo Car Community through structured training and mentoring in social media-based marketing strategies. Conducted over two days in Malino City, the program included digital marketing workshops and hands-on practice in utilizing Facebook Marketplace and Instagram. A preliminary survey was undertaken to assess participants’ initial digital literacy and identify promotional barriers. The training sessions introduced participants to key concepts of digital marketing, digital consumer behavior, and content strategy, followed by guided mentoring to create and manage online promotional content. Direct assistance was provided to six selected showrooms in optimizing their online presence. The results demonstrated a marked improvement in participants’ understanding, confidence, and ability to independently implement digital marketing strategies. Furthermore, the use of digital platforms proved effective in expanding market reach, increasing sales potential, and enhancing customer engagement. This initiative represents a strategic step in accelerating digital transformation among micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in the automotive sector and can serve as a replicable model for similar business communities across Indonesia. The long-term expectation is to foster continuous innovation and sustainability in digital marketing practices within local economies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of Eco-Consciousness and Sustainable Packaging on Green Purchase Behavior with Consumer Attitude as a mediating variable among coffeeshop consumers in Makassar. Using a quantitative causal approach, data were collected from 150 respondents and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that Eco-Consciousness and Sustainable Packaging positively and significantly influence Consumer Attitude. Furthermore, Consumer Attitude has a strong and significant effect on Green Purchase Behavior. Both Eco-Consciousness and Sustainable Packaging also have direct positive effects on Green Purchase Behavior, indicating that consumers engage in environmentally responsible purchasing behavior not only because of their attitudes but also due to their awareness of environmental issues and perceptions of sustainable packaging. Mediation analysis confirms that Consumer Attitude significantly mediates the relationship between Eco-Consciousness and Green Purchase Behavior as well as between Sustainable Packaging and Green Purchase Behavior. These findings highlight the importance of integrating ecological values and sustainable packaging efforts into green marketing strategies, particularly in the coffeeshop industry. Overall, the study contributes to the green marketing literature by presenting an integrated model that explains how psychological factors and sustainable product attributes shape environmentally friendly purchasing behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates how silent branding shapes implicit brand recognition among fashion consumers in Makassar, focusing on minimalist brands such as Uniqlo, H&M, and Executive. Employing a transcendental phenomenology approach, the research explores consumers’ lived experiences in recognizing brands without relying on logos or explicit visual markers. Twelve purposively selected participants were interviewed in-depth, and data were analyzed through phenomenological reduction, including horizonalization, meaning-unit clustering, and textural–structural synthesis. Findings reveal that implicit brand recognition emerges through the interplay of four dimensions: (1) product design as an implicit identity, including cutting, silhouette, color palette, and material texture; (2) sensory familiarity developed through repeated physical interaction and use; (3) visual exposure across retail and social media environments that reinforces internalized aesthetic schemas; and (4) consistency in aesthetic and material quality across collections, which enhances perceived trust and brand credibility. The study demonstrates that minimalist brands can cultivate strong brand identity without logos when consistent design and sensory cues are reinforced by repeated exposure. This research extends the understanding of consumer perception by highlighting how memory, multisensory experience, and aesthetic consistency contribute to implicit recognition. Practically, the findings suggest that fashion brands adopting minimalist strategies can leverage silent branding to establish meaningful consumer connections, emphasizing experiential cues over overt visual symbols.
