This study employed a quantitative approach using descriptive and associative methods. The population comprised all consumers who had ever purchased from Jepara Handicraft Furniture SMEs. The sampling technique employed accidental sampling, with a sample size of 96 respondents.

Conversely, price perception did not have a significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a t-value of -0.090 and a significance level of 0.929 (>0.05). Simultaneously, social media promotions and price perception had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, with an F-value of 20.777 and a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.309 indicated that social media promotions and price perception accounted for 30.9% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 69.1% was influenced by other factors not examined in this study.
