The rapid growth of digital commerce has encouraged companies to integrate digital and physical marketing channels to create seamless and consistent customer experiences. This study aims to analyze the role of integrated marketing channels through omnichannel strategies, the utilization of Artificial intelligence (AI), and their impact on customer experience in the context of digital commerce. The study employs a Systematic literature review (SLR) approach by examining relevant scholarly articles related to omnichannel marketing, AI technologies, and customer experience. The findings indicate that integrated marketing channels supported by AI enhance service personalization, customer engagement, operational efficiency, and the quality of interactions between companies and customers. Furthermore, the implementation of omnichannel strategies contributes to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing a more connected experience across multiple customer touchpoints. However, the implementation of integrated marketing channels still faces several challenges, including fragmented channel integration, technological complexity, high investment requirements, and concerns regarding customer data privacy and security. Therefore, effective management of integrated marketing channels is essential for improving customer experience while creating sustainable competitive advantages for companies in an increasingly dynamic digital era.

Night markets have long been a popular place to do food business, and one of the trending products is grilled octopus. To optimize this business potential, implementing a digital business strategy has become key. This journal presents a brief overview of how digital business is used to market grilled octopus at night markets. The application of digital business in marketing grilled octopus at night markets involves various aspects. First of all, outlet owners can take advantage of technology by creating an official website for their outlet. This website not only serves as a platform to display menus and store locations, but also as a tool to communicate with potential customers. Social media also plays an important role in marketing. By managing accounts on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, outlet owners can share product images, customer reviews, and promotional information. Apart from that, email marketing is also an effective strategy. Collecting customer email addresses and sending them information about special offers, discounts, or new menu items can increase customer engagement. Joining popular food delivery apps such as GrabFood or GoFood also helps in expanding customer reach, especially if the grilled octopus outlet does not yet have a physical presence in the location. Although implementing a digital business has clear benefits, there are also challenges that need to be overcome. Intense competition in night markets requires outlet owners to create creative and different marketing. Additionally, adequate online management is the key to success, and outlet owners may need to train themselves or obtain technical support to manage their digital assets. In conclusion, the implementation of digital business has had a positive impact in marketing grilled octopus at night markets. However, outlet owners need to be aware of the challenges that may arise and try to continue to improve their strategies in facing increasingly fierce competition in the digital world.

This study explores the utilization of simple Augmented Reality (AR) technology to enhance customer engagement in the marketing programs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specifically focusing on Anna Rental Perlengkapan Bayi in Semarang. The research employs an experimental design, developing and evaluating an AR-based information system prototype. Data collection methods include structured interviews, direct observations, and analysis of Instagram post performance. Results indicate a significant increase in customer engagement with AR content, showing an increase from fewer than 100 viewers for regular content to approximately >200 viewers for AR content, with 5% of these engaging further by clicking the AR link and 2% proceeding with a call-to-action. These findings align with existing theories on the effectiveness of interactive technologies in marketing. The study concludes that AR technology can substantially enhance customer engagement and suggests that SMEs adopt such technologies for improved marketing outcomes. Practical implications highlight the need for training and support for SMEs to implement AR effectively. This research provides a foundation for further studies on AR applications in SME marketing strategies in Indonesia.
