Abstract

Social media platforms, especially Instagram, played a strong role in promoting tourist attractions. F. Widayanto ceramic house was one of the tourist attractions that used Instagram as a place to market ceramic products and ceramic educational tours. The location of this study was at F. Widayanto ceramic house, Depok City, West Java. The manager of Keramik F. Widayanto ceramic house hoped that social media would be used as a media campaign to attract visits. This research was carried out by analyzing the interest of tourist visits to F. Widayanto ceramic house and analyzing the effectiveness of the @fwidayantogallery Instagram account in attracting tourists' visits using the AIDA model (attention, interest, desire, and action). The methods used were quantitative descriptive approaches and multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The number of respondents was obtained as many as 50 people from active users of Instagram. The results showed that the interest in tourist visits to F. Widayanto ceramic house, which obtained the highest score, was found in the component of the interested section to find information about the product, followed by finding out the product, considering buying, and being interested in trying. Meanwhile, the lowest value was found in the component of wanting to have. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, the effectiveness of Instagram accounts using the AIDA Model consisting of the variables of attention, interest, desire, and action simultaneously had a significant effect on the interest of tourist visits to F. Widayanto ceramic house. Meanwhile, only the variables of desire and action had a significant effect on the interest of tourist visits partially.

Abstract

The study aimed to highlight the importance of effective communication and collaboration in modern business, and how social media can be used as a vital tool to connect with customers, employees, and other stakeholders in new and innovative ways. Effective communication and collaboration are essential to the success of any business, particularly in the modern era, where competition is intense and innovation is required to stay competitive. To accomplish their goals, businesses must be able to communicate ideas, feedback, and information efficiently and effectively. Social media has become an indispensable instrument for connecting with customers, employees, and other stakeholders in novel and creative ways, resulting in increased innovation, enhanced productivity, and a more engaged and motivated workforce. Businesses can improve their knowledge transfer processes and foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation by leveraging social media platforms. Favourable network externalities in social media refer to the favourable effects that result from an increase in social media platform usage. This allows businesses to reach a larger audience and increase brand recognition. Social media can also provide valuable insights into customer behaviour and preferences, allowing businesses to tailor their marketing strategies and products to suit their customers' needs. Social media monitoring is essential for the growth of business capital because it enables businesses to measure their online reputation and respond promptly to any negative comments or feedback. However, social media has been linked to melancholy, anxiety, and addiction. Therefore, businesses must take steps to mitigate the negative effects of social media on the mental health of their employees, such as providing mental health support services and promoting healthy social media usage.

Abstract

Social media has transformed the tourism industry, shifting it from its conventional model into an extreme knowledge pattern. This study focuses on the use of social media for tourism marketing to enhance tourist satisfaction through user-generated content. A mixed research method was employed, with an exploratory approach used to identify the critical success factors of social media user-generated content (UGC) for marketing tourism products. Purposive sampling was utilized, and data were collected from 200 respondents. To analyze the data, frequency distribution, multiple regression, and hypothesis testing were employed for user-generated content on social media for tourism marketing. The results of the study reveal that people spend an average of one to six hours daily on social media platforms. Graduate students aged 21-30 and employed individuals are more likely to use social media for travel purposes. The study also indicates that factors such as advocacy, a positive brand impression, travel inspiration, and careful content development are crucial for social media in tourism marketing. The travel industry provides visitors with personalized services, offering a social media network that systematically shares users' and like-minded people's experiences, allowing users to customize their anonymity and add value to their personal details.

Abstract

Influencer marketing is a dynamic digital strategy that leverages social media influencers to promote products or brands to a targeted audience. It has evolved with the rise of platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, providing individuals a stage to build substantial followings. Brands now collaborate with influencers to connect authentically with their demographics. Over time, influencer marketing has progressed from endorsements to include sponsored content, product placements, and influencer-generated material, emphasizing authenticity and trust in influencer selection. The objective of this review is to explore the dynamics of influencer marketing, from its evolution to its ethical considerations, effective campaign crafting, risk mitigation, and future trends, emphasizing its significance in the digital age.  In the influencer marketing landscape, there are various influencer types, including celebrities, micro-influencers, and nano-influencers. Celebrities offer broad reach but may lack personal connection, while micro-influencers engage specific niche audiences, and nano-influencers have hyper-local, engaged communities. Crafting effective influencer campaigns entails defining clear objectives, selecting the right influencers, creating engaging content, implementing a multi-channel approach, and fostering audience engagement. Measuring success beyond vanity metrics focuses on quantifiable outcomes for a more accurate evaluation. Mitigating risks involves addressing authenticity, regulatory compliance, audience relevance, content quality, metrics, scalability, and potential negative publicity, ensuring successful influencer partnerships. Future trends include virtual influencers and AI-driven campaigns, with influencer marketing evolving toward authenticity and long-term partnerships.

Abstract

This review article delves into the transformative journey of e-commerce, tracing its inception in the mid-1990s, characterized by visionary companies such as Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, PayPal, and Dell. These pioneers laid the foundation for a digital commerce revolution, with technological innovations, particularly in mobile technology, reshaping the e-commerce landscape and providing users with seamless, on-the-go shopping experiences.
