Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of price and quality of rice products on purchasing decisions. The analysis was conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with a quantitative approach. There were 200 research findings found through the Publish Or Perish (POP) database, but only 20 research articles were considered relevant to the keywords. The results of the study showed that the variables of rice price and product quality were proven to significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions, both directly and partially. Due to its inelastic nature, changes in rice prices can affect food security, but premium rice tends to be preferred over medium rice. Thus, researchers found that there were several studies that quality had a positive effect, while price did not. This shows that customers often prioritize quality over price. The results of this study confirm that in order to support national food security, government policies must be implemented to maintain price stability and improve the quality of rice products.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of social media utilization within digital marketing strategies for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a case study approach. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews and observations conducted on two MSMEs: Es Cemil Yummy, which actively uses social media, and Pentol Kuah Merapi, which has not yet utilized social media but is located in a strategic area. The findings indicate that the use of social media, particularly Facebook, can enhance business visibility, expand market reach, and drive sales growth. Meanwhile, a strategic business location has been proven to sustain business continuity despite limited market expansion. This study concludes that social media is an effective marketing tool and represents a strategic necessity for MSMEs to develop sustainably in the digital era. The study also recommends that MSMEs which have not yet adopted digitalization should begin integrating social media into their marketing strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the marketing strategies and creativity implemented by MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) actors in increasing sales of mozzarella corndog products in Pekanbaru City. Utilizing a qualitative approach and data collection through in-depth interviews with six business actors, this research thematically illustrates how elements such as pricing strategy, digital promotion, product innovation, packaging, and customer experience interact to form an effective marketing strength. Furthermore, the study examines in detail various internal and external factors influencing the success of these marketing strategies, including local market dynamics and the characteristics of the primary target consumers. The findings indicate that bundling strategies, visual content such as “cheese pull” videos, collaboration with local endorsers, as well as visually appealing booth and packaging designs significantly contribute to attracting attention and building customer loyalty. Additionally, the success of these strategies is supported by the utilization of social media as a two-way communication platform, enabling MSME actors to establish more personal and responsive interactions with consumers. These results underscore the importance of integrating creativity, digital technology, and emotional approaches in brand building and enhancing the competitiveness of culinary MSMEs in the current digital era. Moreover, this study highlights the need for capacity development among MSME actors to manage marketing aspects strategically and innovatively in order to face increasingly complex competitive challenges. This research offers both practical and theoretical contributions to the development of digital-based MSME marketing models and can serve as a reference for designing effective and sustainable micro-business mentoring programs at the local level.

Abstract

The ever-increasing competition in the Indonesian automotive sector requires motor vehicle manufacturers and distributors to understand the key determinants that shape consumer purchasing behavior. This study explores how service aspects, pricing strategies, and brand reputation influence consumer choices in purchasing Honda two-wheeled vehicles in the Solo Raya area. The research method applied is quantitative by collecting information directly from respondents through a structured digital survey aimed at Honda motorcycle users. Sampling was determined using a purposive technique with specific criteria, resulting in 78 research participants. The research construct includes three predictors (service quality, price, and brand image) and one outcome variable (purchase decision). Data processing applied multiple regression techniques using the SPSS 25th edition application, including validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, partial tests (t-tests), and coefficients of determination. Empirical findings reveal that the service dimension does not show a substantial impact on purchasing choices. In contrast, price and brand image factors show a substantial positive contribution, with brand image dominating as the strongest predictor. These results indicate that buyers prioritize price competitiveness and the strength of Honda's brand image over the service quality dimension in decision formulation. This research is expected to provide practical insights for distribution stakeholders and expand the academic literature on consumer dynamics in the national automotive sector.

Abstract

The rapid growth of TikTok as an algorithm-driven social media platform has encouraged small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt innovative digital marketing strategies to enhance audience engagement. This study aims to analyze the engagement strategy implemented by Bakpia Juwara Satoe, a local culinary brand that utilizes TikTok as a primary communication and promotional medium. Employing a qualitative research design with a descriptive case study approach, this research explores how content planning, visual presentation, interaction management, and credibility-building practices contribute to audience engagement. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with account managers, participant observation of audience interactions, and analysis of internal TikTok analytics and content archives. The findings reveal that Bakpia Juwara Satoe applies an adaptive–predictive content planning strategy, supported by strong visual identity, the use of attention-grabbing hooks, and active two-way communication in the comment section. Additionally, authentic storytelling and transparent product information play a crucial role in strengthening audience trust and sustaining engagement. The study concludes that effective TikTok engagement for SMEs is not solely dependent on video-centric content, but rather on strategic relevance, visual consistency, and relational communication. These findings contribute to the literature on social media marketing by demonstrating the potential of alternative content formats and engagement-oriented strategies for culinary SMEs operating in competitive digital environments.

Abstract

Live commerce has emerged as a prominent digital marketing phenomenon by integrating real-time interaction, entertainment, and online transactions within a single platform. Among various live commerce features, Shopee Live has gained increasing attention as an interactive marketing platform widely utilized by social media influencers to engage audiences. This study aims to analyze how influencers strategically utilize Shopee Live to foster audience engagement, build trust, and facilitate relational communication in live streaming commerce environments. Employing a qualitative research design, this study adopts a case study approach focusing on influencer-led Shopee Live sessions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with influencers, non-participant observation of live streaming interactions, and analysis of recorded Shopee Live sessions and engagement indicators. The findings reveal that effective audience engagement on Shopee Live is shaped by real-time interaction, persuasive product demonstration, and influencer credibility. Influencers who actively respond to audience feedback, demonstrate products transparently, and adapt communication styles during live sessions are more likely to generate sustained engagement and trust. The study further indicates that engagement in Shopee Live extends beyond short-term transactional outcomes and reflects a relational process grounded in interactivity and authenticity. This research contributes to the literature on live commerce and influencer marketing by positioning Shopee Live as an interactive marketing platform that supports long-term audience relationships. Practically, the findings offer strategic insights for influencers and brands seeking to optimize live streaming practices in competitive e-commerce environments.
