Abstract

In the business world, many companies offer similar goods or services, leading to intense competition. To stand out, companies must employ innovative strategies and effective promotions to attract customers. One common promotional strategy is offering discounts, which involves reducing the price of goods to make them more appealing to consumers. Discounts serve as a tool to increase consumer interest in purchasing a product within a specified time frame. Customer satisfaction, in this context, refers to the extent to which a customer's expectations and needs are met, particularly regarding the perceived value of the purchase. This study explores the effect of price cuts through discounts on customer satisfaction. The research was conducted using a situational approach, analyzing real-time customer responses and feedback during promotional periods in selected retail stores. Data was collected through direct observation and surveys, providing insights into consumer behavior and satisfaction levels related to discounted products.

Abstract

Apart from being a place of study, pesantrens are centers of economic development because the intensity of interaction in Islamic boarding schools is greater than in general schools. However, it turns out that several pesantrens still need help to carry out economic development and have even stopped operating. One type of Islamic boarding school that is vulnerable is one owned by individuals. The research used a qualitative approach from a community service program. The research began with systematic literature review, further analysed using a qualitative approach at one of Medan's privately owned pesantrens. Data was collected using the 'Amid mechanism with interviews, which were then analysed using reduction techniques. Pesantrens need to pay attention to financial stability, regulatory compliance, and the preservation of Islamic values in education. Finding, that one of the causes is the low financial literacy of owners, so owners tend to separate the asset entity from the management. It is a challenge to improve the economy in pesantrens. On the other hand, pesantrens are required to be able to produce economic results either by producing products and services or collaborating with residents to improve the pesantren's economy
