Abstract

The global fast fashion industry, including brands like Uniqlo, faces increasing challenges in maintaining brand loyalty amid fierce competition and evolving consumer behavior. This study explores the effect of perceived value on brand loyalty among Uniqlo customers in Jakarta, with brand love and brand trust as mediators, and pop culture involvement as a moderator. Using a quantitative, explanatory approach grounded in Relationship Marketing Theory, data were gathered from 232 respondents through an online survey and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that perceived value does not directly impact brand loyalty. Instead, it significantly influences brand love and brand trust, which fully mediates the relationship highlighting the importance of emotional connection and trust in fostering loyalty. Meanwhile, pop culture involvement does not significantly moderate the link between perceived value and loyalty, suggesting that trend-based marketing alone is insufficient to build sustained loyalty. These results emphasize that fast fashion brands must go beyond product value or trend alignment, focusing instead on nurturing emotional bonds and customer trust to drive long-term loyalty. This study offers valuable insights for brand managers seeking to strengthen consumer relationships in an increasingly competitive fashion landscape.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital banking in Indonesia has intensified competition between purely digital banks and conventional banks embracing digitalization. In this landscape, brand loyalty has emerged as a crucial factor for ensuring business sustainability. This study aims to investigate the impact of perceived value and ease of use on brand loyalty, with user satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, focusing on customers.  A quantitative research design was applied using survey data from 213 respondents in Surabaya and Malang, collected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method via SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that perceived value significantly and positively influences both user satisfaction and brand loyalty. Conversely, ease of use shows a significant negative relationship with brand loyalty and has no significant impact on user satisfaction. Moreover, user satisfaction positively affects brand loyalty and mediates the link between perceived value and brand loyalty, but not between ease of use and brand loyalty. The results suggest that customer loyalty in digital banking is primarily driven by perceived value and satisfaction rather than by ease of use alone.

Abstract

The increasing enthusiasm of Indonesian Muslims to perform umrah has intensified competition among travel agencies, creating a growing need to understand the factors that shape customer loyalty in this service-based industry. Although prior studies have examined determinants of loyalty, limited research integrates brand personality and brand trust specifically within repeated umrah travel experiences, indicating a clear research gap. This study aims to develop hypotheses regarding the factors influencing brand loyalty, with a particular focus on the effect of brand personality mediated by brand trust. This study also addresses how perceptions of competence, sincerity, and enthusiasm as dimensions of brand personality contribute to customer loyalty. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 127 umrah pilgrims who had used the same travel agency more than once during the 2022–2024 period, selected through saturated sampling and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that brand personality significantly enhances brand loyalty, while brand trust acts as a mediating mechanism that strengthens this relationship. Trust functions as a psychological bridge that connects perceived brand characteristics with the decision to remain loyal. The study highlights the importance for Umrah travel providers to cultivate trustworthy and compelling brand identities to maintain customer confidence and long-term loyalty.
