Abstract

Social media has become an integral part of daily life and plays a crucial role in consumer purchasing decisions. This article examines the optimization of purchasing decisions for SOMETHINC products among the community in Medan through the utilization of social media. The methods used in this service include Deep Interviews, Training, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and Collaboration. Deep Interviews are conducted to explore consumer perspectives on social media strategies and their impact on purchasing decisions. Training is provided to the SOMETHINC marketing team to enhance interaction with consumers. FGDs gather feedback from consumers and the marketing team regarding consumer needs and preferences. Collaboration with influencers aims to expand promotional reach and increase consumer engagement. The results of the service show that although SOMETHINC has been effective in leveraging social media, there are opportunities to improve engagement with consumers. Training and the implementation of new, more personal and interactive strategies have successfully increased consumer loyalty and the impact of social media on purchasing decisions. FGDs and collaboration with influencers have contributed to refining promotional strategies and expanding market reach. Therefore, the company needs to develop relevant content, actively interact with consumers, and leverage influencers to enhance awareness and the influence of social media on purchasing decisions.

The findings reveal that a thorough understanding of taste perception is essential for maintaining high customer satisfaction and optimizing sales.

Abstract

This study trained the sample about the impact of promotions and discounts on consumer purchasing decisions via ShopeeFood, specifically among students in Medan. The research employs Deep Interview, Training, and Participatory methods to gather insights. In-depth interviews reveal consumer perceptions regarding how ShopeePay’s promotions and discounts influence their purchasing choices. Training sessions aimed to educate users on the effective use of ShopeePay and to enhance their awareness of security measures, while participatory methods involved practical usage of ShopeePay in ShopeeFood transactions. Results from a 15-day community service initiative with 150 consumers indicate that a significant number of users experience issues such as slow transaction processing, lack of awareness about promotions, and technical errors. Additionally, some users were unfamiliar with proper ShopeePay usage. Training effectively improved user knowledge, loyalty, and awareness of promotions, leading to more practical and satisfying transactions. The analysis demonstrates that discounts have a substantial impact on purchasing decisions, with a high coefficient value indicating that price reductions are directly proportional to increased purchase likelihood. Although promotions also play a role in attracting consumer attention, discounts are more influential due to their immediate and understandable financial benefits, ease of price comparison, and direct impact on consumer decisions.

Abstract

Beauty products play a significant role in the lives of consumers, particularly for Generation Z, and have become a primary need in Indonesia, especially among women. The rapid growth of the beauty industry in Indonesia, coupled with increasing exports in the cosmetic market, underscores its importance. Effective marketing strategies, particularly word of mouth (WOM) and brand image, are crucial in influencing consumer attitudes and purchase decisions. This community service project utilized Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and collaboration methods to evaluate Somethinc’s marketing strategies. Results from the FGDs and subsequent training indicated that Somethinc had not fully implemented effective marketing strategies, leading to limited brand recognition. The project highlighted that effective marketing strategies could expand market reach, build consumer loyalty, and support sustainable growth. Maintaining a strong and consistent brand image is essential for creating long-term consumer relationships and competing effectively in the digital age. Somethinc’s use of social media platforms and engaging content, alongside loyalty programs and consistent branding, proved effective in retaining customers and enhancing brand awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct training to improve product quality on consumer purchasing decisions for MR D.I.Y. products. The method used involved training with MR D.I.Y employee and the branch manager of MR D.I.Y. on Jalan Pancing. The results indicate that inadequate product quality negatively impacts consumer interest. Consumers tend to feel hesitant about products that do not meet their expectations, which affects brand loyalty. Therefore, it is crucial for MR D.I.Y. to enhance quality control standards and ensure that every product sold undergoes a stringent verification process. By focusing on improving product quality, MR D.I.Y. can strengthen its market position and build positive long-term relationships with its consumers. This research provides practical implications for management to pay more attention to product quality in their marketing strategies.
