Abstract

This research investigates the potential of TikTok as a digital marketing platform for fostering entrepreneurship on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The study addresses the gap in the current literature regarding the suboptimal use of digital marketing tools in the region, particularly TikTok, which remains under-utilized despite its potential to enhance entrepreneurial growth. Using a qualitative research approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with six informants, three TikTok sellers and three affiliates from Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. Findings indicate that TikTok serves as an effective and cost-efficient platform for entrepreneurs, offering a dual function as both an entertainment and shopping medium. However, the study reveals challenges, such as limited digital financial literacy and an underdeveloped application of marketing strategies on the island. The research contributes to understanding the dynamics of digital marketing adoption in Sumatra, highlighting the necessity of enhancing digital financial literacy and maximizing the use of the platform, for example, TikTok to boost entrepreneurial independence. The implications of this study suggest the importance of integrating digital tools in regional economic policies to foster inclusive growth. The study also acknowledges limitations such as the small sample size and the focused geographical scope which recommend future research with broader, more diverse samples and a mixed-methods approach to explore long-term business sustainability and the comparative effectiveness of various digital platforms.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates differences in purchasing decisions for halal-certified chicken between Muslim consumers in Indonesia and Taiwan. It explores the socio-cultural, institutional, psychological, and economic factors shaping consumer choices, while assessing the role of halal literacy and certification. Methods: A qualitative comparative design was applied, using semi-structured interviews with Muslim consumers in both countries. Purposive sampling was conducted in Indonesia, while snowball sampling was employed in Taiwan due to the smaller and dispersed Muslim population. Data were analyzed thematically with NVivo and ATLAS.ti, supported by secondary sources such as halal regulations and community initiatives. Results: Findings reveal that Indonesian consumers often rely on trust-based relationships with Muslim vendors and assume halalness as a cultural default, reducing the urgency of certification. In contrast, Taiwanese consumers emphasize halal logos and certification bodies as primary assurances of Sharia compliance and food safety. Affordability and social familiarity drive Indonesian preferences, while availability, institutional trust, and diaspora support dominate in Taiwan. Implications: The study highlights that halal consumption is influenced not only by religious obligations but also by broader socio-cultural and institutional contexts. Results underscore the need for stronger halal assurance for fresh products in Indonesia and wider distribution of halal-certified foods in Taiwan, offering insights for policymakers and future research on Muslim consumer behavior across different settings.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has significantly transformed marketing communication patterns, particularly in the increasingly competitive skincare industry. Companies no longer rely solely on conventional promotion but utilize various digital marketing strategies such as Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and influencer marketing. This study aims to analyze the influence of integrated marketing communications and SEO optimization on skincare product marketing through influencers. This research employs a quantitative approach using a descriptive research method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed online to 150 respondents who had previously searched for information or purchased skincare products through digital platforms. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression using SPSS software. The results indicate that integrated marketing communications and SEO optimization have a positive and significant influence on skincare product marketing through influencers, both partially and simultaneously. Integrated marketing communications play a role in creating consistency in marketing messages across various digital platforms, while SEO optimization facilitates consumers in finding product information through search engines. The coefficient of determination shows that these two variables explain 46.1% of the variation in skincare product marketing through influencers. These findings indicate that synergy between integrated marketing communications, SEO, and influencer marketing can enhance product visibility, strengthen consumer trust, and increase consumer purchase intention toward skincare products in the era of digital marketing
