Abstract

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of content marketing strategies implemented through Instagram @elcoffee.id.official in increasing brand awareness among El Coffee customers. This study uses mixed methods with a cross-sectional design, integrating quantitative and qualitative data. The results show that the content marketing strategy design implemented on the Instagram account @elcoffee.id.official significantly increases brand awareness among El Coffee customers. The increase in account performance is seen from the number of views that jumped from 16,800 to 38,500, interactions from 11 to 991, and the addition of new followers from 83 to 132 accounts in one month. Informative, visually aesthetic, promotional, and interactive content proved effective in driving engagement. The results of descriptive statistical tests showed an average value of content marketing of 63.53 (high) and brand awareness of 35.97 (high). The t-test proved a significant effect of the content marketing variable on brand awareness with a t-value of 11.721 and a significance of 0.001 (less than 0.05). This increase shows that a planned and consistent content marketing strategy is able to strengthen brand recognition and recall among customers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of industrial work practice experience and social media utilization on the entrepreneurial interest of Grade XII Marketing students at SMK Negeri 1 Medan. A quantitative approach with an ex post facto method was employed. The sample consisted of 64 students selected through a census technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 27. The results show that industrial work practice experience has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial interest (tcount = 5.751; sig. = 0.000), as does social media utilization (tcount = 3.171; sig. = 0.002). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence entrepreneurial interest (Fcount = 36.285; sig. = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.543, indicating that both independent variables contribute 54.3% to the variation in students’ entrepreneurial interest. These findings underscore the importance of hands-on experience and the strategic use of digital technology in fostering entrepreneurial spirit among vocational school students.

A quantitative approach with an ex post facto design was employed, involving 63 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected using multiple-choice tests and questionnaires, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that: (1) Entrepreneurial knowledge and business centre activities simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial interest (F = 30.790; sig = 0.001); (2) Entrepreneurial knowledge has a significant partial effect on entrepreneurial interest (t = 2.737; sig = 0.008); (3) Business centre activities also have a significant influence on entrepreneurial interest (t = 2.563; sig = 0.013). The coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that these variables contribute 50.6% to entrepreneurial interest. These findings highlight the importance of integrating entrepreneurial education with hands-on practice through school business centres to enhance students’ readiness to become young entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Technological developments are currently increasingly prevalent and have merged into various aspects of human life. One aspect that is greatly penetrated and influenced by technological advances is the business and entrepreneurship sector. Currently, the MSME sector is expected to increase not only in terms of quantity, but also in quality through reforming business implementation from conventional to digital-based. Business digitalization can be applied to various business activities, one of which is in the marketing sector. Sihobuk peanuts are a native product originating from North Tapanuli Regency. Sihobuk peanut entrepreneurs in Sipoholon District are experiencing stagnant conditions and low business revenues, allegedly due to the lack of implementation of marketing digitalization. This study aims to conduct and implement marketing digitalization through Facebook social media and measure its impact on business revenue. The study was conducted on five Sihobuk peanut MSMEs using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) method. The results showed a 20%–30% increase in revenue after implementing Facebook social media marketing for three months. The implementation of marketing digitalization has proven effective in increasing the income of Sihobuk peanut MSMEs and is a practical solution for traditional business actors in the digital era.

Abstract

This article systematically examines the role of zakat, waqf, and Islamic financing in empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of ten journals published between 2021 and 2025 that are relevant to the topic. The results of the study indicate that these three Islamic social finance instruments have a significant contribution in supporting MSMEs through wealth redistribution mechanisms, the provision of interest-free business capital, training, and mentoring. Zakat functions not only as an obligatory act of worship but also as a source of productive funds for capital and business development. Waqf, especially in the form of cash waqf and innovative instruments such as Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS), plays a crucial role in long-term financing for MSMEs. Meanwhile, Islamic financing through the Micro Waqf Bank (BWM) model has successfully provided access to capital to MSMEs underserved by conventional banks. However, challenges such as low public literacy, lack of transparency, and limited synergy between institutions still hamper its optimal utilization. This article emphasizes the need for digitalization of fund management, innovation of social financial instruments, and cross-sector collaboration so that zakat, waqf, and sharia financing can play a greater role in strengthening MSMEs and realizing inclusive economic development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of brand awareness, brand image, and brand association on brand loyalty among iPhone smartphone users in Yogyakarta. This study used a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 200 respondents. The results showed that brand awareness significantly influences brand image and brand association, but does not directly influence brand loyalty. Conversely, brand image and brand association have a significant influence on brand loyalty. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS, including testing convergent and discriminant validity as well as construct reliability. These findings confirm that the indirect influence of brand awareness on brand loyalty is mediated by brand image and brand association.
