Traditional handicrafts must embrace innovation to remain competitive against mass-produced machine-made products, which are often more affordable and easily scalable. The primary challenge in this innovation process lies in maintaining authenticity and cultural significance while adapting to contemporary consumer preferences, ensuring that the traditional identity of these crafts is not lost. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of various innovation factors in traditional Indonesian handicrafts, explicitly focusing on Authenticity, Packaging, Product, and Process Innovation. It examines how these factors are integrated into products based on consumer purchasing experiences. Data were collected through a survey using a 5-point Likert scale from 416 respondents who had purchased handicrafts within the past year, employing purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS. The results showed that Authenticity Innovation and Packaging Innovation had mean scores below 3.892, indicating that these factors are less adopted or valued in the market and require further improvement. In contrast, Product and Process Innovation scored above average, reflecting a stronger integration into products and a greater focus on innovation in these areas. Unlike previous studies by Shafi et al. (2021), which explored the hypothetical application of consumer acceptance of innovation factors in handicrafts, this study investigates the practical application and consumer experience of innovation adoption in traditional handicraft products that consumers have already purchased. It offers valuable insights into enhancing product offerings and addressing the needs of diverse consumer segments.

The development of digital technology has changed the business landscape significantly, especially in terms of improving operational efficiency and customer experience. One strategy that companies are increasingly implementing is servitization, namely a shift from a product-based business model to a service that provides added value for customers. This study aims to analyze the influence of servitization on purchase intention and the role of digital technology and service business focus as mediators in this relationship. This research uses quantitative methods with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to 75 respondents consisting of coffee shops and restaurant businesses in Solo Raya. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software. The research results show that servitization positively and significantly affects purchase intention, digital technology, and service business focus. However, digital technology does not directly influence purchase intention, indicating that digital technology alone is insufficient to increase customer purchase intention without an appropriate service strategy. Meanwhile, service business focus has been proven to significantly influence purchase intention and mediate the relationship between servitization and purchase intention. These findings confirm that companies that implement servitization and have a strong focus on business services are better able to increase customer purchasing intentions than relying solely on digital technology. Therefore, companies are advised to adopt digital technologies and ensure that their service strategies can increase customer value.
