Abstract

This study analyzes how word-of-mouth (WOM) is used as an organic marketing strategy in faith-based educational institutions, especially its influence on the perception and decisions of prospective students. The research was conducted by quantitative surveys, collecting data from active students, alumni, and parents through structured questionnaires and supporting documents from institutions. The results show that the positive experiences of students, the credibility of mentors and teachers, and recommendations from senior students and alumni greatly influence the decision of prospective students. Data analysis showed positive experiences contributed the most, followed by the credibility of sources and peer recommendations. This confirms that direct interaction is more influential than formal promotion. Digital media is only an additional channel of information, while interpersonal interaction remains a major factor in the effectiveness of WOM. This study concludes that WOM in faith-based educational institutions runs through social interaction and trusted personal networks, thus becoming an effective and efficient marketing strategy. The implication of this research is that institutional managers can improve their reputation and attract prospective students by creating positive experiences, strengthening the role of mentors and seniors, and documenting original testimonials to optimize organic marketing strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Customer Perceived Value (CPV) in Islamic education management by integrating academic service quality with blessing orientation, highlighting both functional and spiritual dimensions of student experience. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, with data collected through documentation, observation, and semi-structured interviews. Analysis followed systematic stages of data reduction, data display, and verification, using content analysis, discourse analysis, and interpretive approaches to capture both rational and experiential insights. Findings indicate that academic service quality significantly contributes to student satisfaction and comfort, while blessing orientation encompasses meaning, serenity, and depth of the learning experience. The integration of these dimensions produces a holistic CPV, extending beyond conventional functional aspects to include emotional and spiritual elements. The study underscores the importance for Islamic educational institutions to harmonize service quality with spiritual values to enhance the overall educational experience, providing a foundation for designing policies and strategies that address students’ comprehensive needs, fostering meaningful, contextually relevant, and spiritually enriching learning environments.
