Abstract

The study investigates the impact of perceived trustworthiness and content quality on customer satisfaction within the OTT streaming service sector, specifically among Netflix subscribers in the Philippines. Using an entirely quantitative research approach, data were collected from a heterogeneous group of Filipino Netflix users, after which PLS-SEM was employed to analyze the strength and direction of relationships among key constructs. Dimensions such as reliability of services, data security, and authenticity were specified under perceived trustworthiness, while content quality dealt with variables including the number of options, cultural affinity, and high-quality productions. The findings indicate that consumer satisfaction is positively and significantly influenced by perceived trustworthiness and content quality. Indeed, trustworthiness stood out as a strong indicator of loyalty, implying that users develop an attachment to a service through secure and reliable service delivery. That content with a recognizable identity supports subscriber retention, keeping them interested in using the platform in the long run. Such findings extend the existing literature on OTT service adoption and retention by highlighting the need for a certain level of technical credibility and content value in emerging markets. In practical terms, it follows that OTT providers, such as Netflix, should adopt a mix of culturally aligned content strategies and transparent data practices to remain competitively viable. Whilst geographically angled towards the Philippines, its conceptual framework presents a replicable model for application in cross-cultural and international contexts. The study emphasizes the global significance of trust and content excellence in delivering an enhanced streaming experience within the rapidly expanding digital entertainment ecosystem worldwide.

Abstract

Nestled at the intersection of technological innovation and business strategy, this study delves into the complex relationship between digital marketing and market penetration in emerging economies, with Uganda's insurance sector as its focal point. Through in-depth interviews with industry practitioners, the research uncovers how digital channels transform traditional market penetration barriers in unexpected ways. The findings reveal a nuanced picture: digital marketing doesn't merely extend reach, it fundamentally reshapes customer engagement through educational content, cost-effective targeting, and data-driven decision making. Yet, beneath these opportunities lurk persistent challenges: the digital divide still haunts rural communities, trust remains fragile in online environments, and regulatory frameworks struggle to keep pace with innovation. This research contributes fresh empirical evidence to the discourse on digital transformation in underserved markets, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for businesses navigating the digital landscape in emerging economies. Beyond academic contribution, the study provides a roadmap for practitioners seeking to leverage digital marketing for enhanced market penetration in contexts where traditional approaches have faltered.

Abstract

As is known, the Korean wave, which has gone global along with a widespread fandom community, has developed and actively participated, playing a key role in advancing the Korean music industry in the form of K-pop. It is a social dynamic by which one community can influence an entire industry. This article aims to explain how K-pop fandom activity is a part of the marketing mix that contributes to the success of music production. The activity of the community, initially, was just for communication and information sharing, and it evolved into a marketing communication process. We collect data from both written materials exposed through news and information media, such as Kompasiana.com and Koreaboo.com, as well as scientific writings in accredited Open Journal System and Web of Science databases, with a focus on the last five years (2020-2024). Numerous articles have examined the development and success of K-pop, fandom activities, and music album sales. Meanwhile, the data collected through interviews utilizes the results of interviews with a third-party service, QuestionAI. 2021. For data analysis, we categorize and reduce the data before conducting thematic analysis. Get resource triangulation by literature study. The research results show that fandom activity serves as a form of marketing communication. In this case, K-pop fandom is not only the target of marketing but also an active promoter of album sales. Suitable to the theory of "participatory culture" by Jenkins, complete with the theory of marketing strategy as explained by Kotler and Armstrong. Fandom has played a significant role in fostering parasocial relationships between fans and K-pop idol members. Fandom activities serve as a successful marketing communication tool to promote and increase album sales.

Abstract

Retailers increasingly rely on private label products to strengthen store differentiation and improve margins. In contemporary retail environments characterized by digital marketing and omnichannel interactions, consumers often evaluate private label products based on their perceptions of the retail store and the value they derive from it. However, limited research has examined how store image shapes customer value and purchase intention among Generation Z, a digitally connected consumer segment. This study investigates the relationship between store image, customer value, and purchase intention for private label products among Generation Z consumers in modern retail settings. Data were collected through a survey of 175 respondents aged 16–27 who had purchased private label products from minimarkets, supermarkets, or hypermarkets in Bandung, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that store image significantly influences customer value, while its direct effect on purchase intention is not significant. Customer value, however, has a significant positive effect on purchase intention and fully mediates the relationship between store image and purchase intention. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening customer value perceptions through both in-store experiences and digital communication channels, particularly when targeting Generation Z consumers in omnichannel retail environments.

Abstract

Indonesia’s coffee shop industry has experienced rapid expansion, driven by shifting consumer lifestyles and intensified market competition. In this digitally mediated competitive landscape where social media promotions, online ordering platforms, and e-wallet-based discounts shape consumer engagement understanding the determinants of purchase decisions becomes critical. The mediating pathways through which marketing mix elements influence these decisions remain insufficiently examined, particularly the role of brand image in emerging markets. This explanatory quantitative study employs Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to investigate the direct and indirect effects of price discount, store atmosphere, service quality, and product assortment on purchase decisions, with brand image as the mediating variable. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires from 100 purposively sampled respondents in Bandung, Indonesia, who had recent coffee shop purchase experience. Results demonstrate that product assortment significantly influences purchase decisions directly, while price discount, store atmosphere, and service quality show no significant direct effects. However, price discount substantially impacts purchase decisions through brand image mediation, with the model explaining 96.3% of brand image variance and 87.4% of purchase decision variance. These findings advance strategic marketing theory by demonstrating that brand image functions as a critical mediating mechanism consistent with the Stimulus, Organism and Response (S–O–R) framework transforming price-based stimuli into actual purchase behavior. Practically, coffee shop managers should implement dual-focus strategies: cultivating brand perceptions through strategic discounting while simultaneously diversifying product offerings to stimulate purchase decisions directly.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital banking has intensified competition among financial institutions to attract and retain mobile banking users. In this context, understanding the factors that influence customers’ decisions to use digital banking applications has become increasingly important. However, previous studies have primarily focused on technological perceptions, while limited attention has been given to the combined role of service features, electronic word of mouth (eWOM), and brand image in shaping digital banking use. This study aims to examine the influence of service features, eWOM, and brand image on the decision to use the BRImo mobile banking application. The research uses a quantitative explanatory design and collects primary data from BRImo users through an online survey. A total of 115 valid responses were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that service features, electronic word of mouth, and brand image significantly influence the decision to use the BRImo application. Among these factors, service features demonstrate the strongest impact, indicating that usability, reliability, and feature integration play a crucial role in shaping digital banking use. This study contributes to the extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by integrating marketing related factors such as eWOM and brand image into the technology use framework. The findings also provide practical insights for banks in improving digital customer engagement through application usability, online reputation management, and strategic brand positioning.

Abstract

This study repositions Relationship Marketing (RM) from a customer-management tool to a risk-governance mechanism for high-risk Facility Management (FM) services at Telkom Property’s Bali branch. Using the Service-Dominant Logic framework, it examines how My Birawa, a digital service platform, supports operational trust and value-in-use. This support comes from integrating technical reliability with relational governance. The study uses a qualitative approach and a multiple case study design. It examines two Telkom Property companies managing cleaning and security services in commercial buildings. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. The research has three key findings. First, My Birawa acts as a digital infrastructure that improves operational efficiency by accelerating problem resolution (Mean Time to Resolution) and strengthening accountability through KPI-based monitoring. Specifically, the platform has an average effectiveness rating of 4.67 out of 5, with a 100% user adoption rate. Second, the platform enables value co-creation through cross-functional integration and codifies location-specific knowledge. As a result, this strengthens relationship equity and creates non-financial switching barriers for clients. Third, its effectiveness is influenced by technical interdependencies, such as Wi-Fi stability, as well as by fragmented tenant coordination.
