Abstract

The increasing demand for suburban housing in Indonesia, driven by urban expansion and rising middle-class aspirations, has intensified competition among real estate developers. This study investigates how Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategies influence consumer interest in purchasing residential property in Bekasi Regency, a fast-growing suburban area. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions involving marketing professionals, developers, and prospective buyers at PT Refaro Central Propertindo. The analysis integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) model to explore both psychological drivers and communication dynamics. Findings reveal that consistent messaging, immersive digital tools (e.g., virtual tours, AI chatbots), and personalized engagement significantly affect buyer attitudes, social norms, and perceived control ultimately enhancing purchase intention. The application of AIDA further explains how IMC guides consumers through each stage of the decision-making process. This study offers a novel contribution by combining TPB and AIDA in a real estate context, providing deeper insights into consumer behavior and communication strategy effectiveness. Practically, the research recommends hybrid IMC approaches that integrate digital innovation with trust-building offline experiences. These findings are particularly relevant for developers targeting suburban markets in Indonesia and other emerging economies.

Abstract

While the number of stock investors in Indonesia has been growing, many particularly from Generation Z, who currently lead the market, continue to exhibit non-rational tendencies when making investment choices. These tendencies are frequently shaped by cognitive distortions such as representative, availability, and herding biases. This research investigates how these biases impact Gen Z’s stock investment decisions and explores whether long-term orientation moderates these effects. The research gathered responses from 349 Indonesian Generation Z participants through an online survey, with the data subsequently examined using the PLS-SEM method. The results show that representative bias, availability bias, and herding bias significantly influence investment decision making. Long-term orientation significantly moderates the effect of herding bias but does not significantly moderate the effect of representative bias or availability bias. This study encourages Generation Z investors to recognize the impact of behavioral biases and the importance of long-term thinking. It also suggests that regulators and market institutions develop educational programs to help reduce bias-driven decisions among young investors.
