Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image, social media marketing strategy, and purchase intention on purchasing decisions at Yuforia Cafe. A quantitative approach using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method is employed in this research. The study population consists of Yuforia Cafe customers who have purchased products or engaged in interactions with Yuforia Cafe, either directly or through social media, with a total of 109 respondents. Data collection was conducted using a probability sampling technique with a cluster random sampling approach. The analysis results indicate that social media marketing strategy and purchase intention have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. Conversely, brand image does not show a significant effect on purchasing decisions. These findings highlight the importance of social media marketing strategies in driving consumer purchasing decisions. Furthermore, companies can utilize these results to design more effective marketing strategies to enhance consumer engagement.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between cultural dynamics and tourist preferences in hotel and resort settings through comprehensive review data analysis across multiple countries of origin. Using thematic analysis methodology implemented through Atlas.Ti software, the research examines patterns in accommodation preferences, service expectations, and satisfaction determinants. The findings reveal significant variations in guest preferences across different cultural backgrounds, with statistical analysis showing distinctive patterns in visitor demographics. Notably, couples constitute the highest proportion of visitors across multiple destinations, with exceptionally high concentrations in Hong Kong (92%), Malta (90%), and Argentina (62%). Cultural influences manifest through specific preferences in room configurations, dining experiences, and recreational offerings, where Asian tourists emphasize personalized service interactions and traditional elements. At the same time, European visitors prioritize authentic local experiences within luxury accommodation frameworks. The study identifies four key dimensions of managerial adaptation: cultural sensitivity, customization, staff training, and service modifications. These findings contribute to advancing understanding of cultural influences in hospitality contexts while providing practical guidelines for enhancing guest experiences in international hotel operations. The research concludes that effective cultural adaptation strategies enhance guest satisfaction and create sustainable competitive advantages in increasingly globalized hospitality markets.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Generation Z's Consumption Behavior Patterns towards fashion products, especially the Uniqlo brand, as well as to understand the factors that influence their purchasing decisions in the context of modern lifestyles. The Consumption Pattern of Generation Z towards Uniqlo Fashion Products can be analyzed through the perspective of Islamic economics, which emphasizes ethics, justice, and sustainability.

By integrating Islamic economic values, Uniqlo can develop more effective and ethical marketing strategies, and better reach young consumers.The method used in this research is descriptive exploratory.Data was collected through surveys and in-depth interviews of 30 respondents, as well as content analysis of social media used by Generation Z.The results of the research Uniqlo Product Consumption Patterns are influenced by various interrelated factors, including cultural values, psychological motivations, personal, and social factors. A total of 73.33% of respondents acknowledged that cultural values influence their purchasing decisions, while 56.67% stated that daily needs and the desire to look good are the main motivations. Lifestyle and income also contribute greatly, with 70% of respondents agreeing that their lifestyle influences product choices. Discussions with friends or family before buying a product were influential for 46.67% of respondents. Product quality and brand love increase the confidence of younger consumers. Age and gender are also significant; the majority of Uniqlo shoppers are 20-23 years old (68%), with 56% of female respondents who tend to be more active in shopping and pay attention to product quality and design suggesting that Generation Z Consumption Behavior is heavily influenced by social media and the latest fashion trends. The implications of this research emphasize the importance for brands like Uniqlo to understand these consumer behavior dynamics in order to create more effective marketing strategies. By enhancing the brand experience and tailoring products to Gen Z preferences, companies can not only increase sales but also build long-term customer loyalty.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of five pivotal marketing strategies on consumer purchase intention within TikTok Shop, focusing on the dynamic social commerce landscape in Indonesia. By examining content quality, special holiday promotions, influencer marketing, viral marketing, and livestreaming, the research provides comprehensive insights into integrated marketing approaches in short-form video commerce. Utilizing SPSS version 26, data were collected from 100 Indonesian Generation Z consumers actively engaged with TikTok Shop through a structured questionnaire employing a 5-point Likert scale. Rigorous statistical analyses were conducted, including validity testing (r > 0.195), reliability testing (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.70), and comprehensive classical assumption tests. Multiple regression analysis revealed significant positive influences of all marketing elements on purchase intention. Content quality emerged as the most influential factor (t = 97.854, p < 0.001), followed closely by influencer marketing (t = 95.438, p < 0.001), special holiday promotions (t = 93.672, p < 0.001), viral marketing (t = 91.756, p < 0.001), and livestreaming (t = 89.923, p < 0.001). The F-test results (F = 7.845 > F-table 2.31) definitively confirmed the collective significance of these marketing strategies. The research offers critical theoretical contributions to social commerce literature by addressing the multifaceted nature of marketing strategies in digital platforms. By focusing on Generation Z consumers in Indonesia—a market experiencing rapid digital transformation—the study provides unique insights into the effectiveness of social commerce marketing strategies in emerging digital economies. The findings not only illuminate the intricate relationships between various marketing elements and purchase intention but also establish a robust foundation for future investigations in the rapidly evolving landscape of short-form video commerce

Abstract

The Indonesian e-commerce landscape has experienced unprecedented growth, reaching USD 62 billion in gross merchandise value in 2023, yet platforms struggle with sustainability, as evidenced by Bukalapak's exit from the marketplace segment in early 2025 despite substantial technological investments. This research investigates how social commerce features, personalization, and payment convenience influence purchase decisions in e-commerce platforms, with vouchers serving as a mediating variable. The study addresses a critical gap in understanding how platform features, and promotional tools interact to drive purchase decisions in emerging markets, particularly in Indonesia's highly competitive e-commerce sector where platforms engage in intense "voucher wars" for market share. Using path analysis with data collected from 100 active e-commerce users in Indonesia, the research reveals that payment convenience emerges as the strongest predictor of both voucher utilization (t = 7.235, p < 0.001) and purchase decisions (t = 3.356, p < 0.001). Notably, while social commerce features show significant effects through voucher mediation (Sobel Z = 2.4832, p = 0.0130), personalization demonstrates unexpectedly limited impact, challenging assumptions about its universal effectiveness. The study's findings suggest that successful e-commerce platforms in Indonesia must prioritize payment convenience and effectively integrate voucher systems with social commerce features, while potentially reconsidering investments in personalization. These insights contribute to both theoretical understanding of e-commerce dynamics in emerging markets and practical platform development strategies, particularly relevant as Indonesia's e-commerce sector continues its rapid evolution.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and determine the best marketing strategy for Expressive Coffee in Pekanbaru using an integrated approach of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The study employs a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology through a case-study approach involving 15 respondents, including the owner, coffee experts, and regular customers of Expressive Coffee. Results indicate that Expressive Coffee possesses significant strengths such as specialty-grade coffee beans, open bar service, comprehensive facilities, and strategic location. However, weaknesses include relatively high product pricing, limited promotional activities, and restricted parking space. Major opportunities identified involve the rising healthy lifestyle trend, increasing premium coffee consumption, strategic partnerships with local farmers, and positive customer reviews. Primary threats are intense competition from emerging coffee shops and shifting consumer preferences toward convenient coffee products. Based on the QSPM analysis, the recommended strategy is the SO (Strength-Opportunities) strategy, scoring the highest Total Attractiveness Score (TAS) of 14.40, which emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to optimally exploit market opportunities.
