The increasingly competitive business world demands companies to be able to implement appropriate marketing strategies to improve consumer purchasing decisions. Price and service quality are important factors that influence consumer behavior in determining purchasing choices. PT Era Permata Sejahtera, as a company engaged in general services, has experienced a decline in profits in recent years, which is thought to be related to pricing policies and the quality of service provided to consumers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of price and service quality on purchasing decisions at PT Era Permata Sejahtera, both partially and simultaneously. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to consumers of PT Era Permata Sejahtera, with a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26 software, and equipped with validity tests, reliability tests, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination. The results of the study indicate that partially, price does not significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions, while service quality has a positive and significant influence. Simultaneously, price and service quality significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions.

This study aims to analyze the influence of price and product quality on purchasing decisions for personal care products manufactured by PT Mandom Indonesia Tbk. The topic was chosen in response to increasingly intense competition in the cosmetics industry, along with a decline in sales performance of several Mandom products, which highlights the need for the company to better understand key factors affecting consumer purchasing behavior. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents who use Mandom products, selected through purposive sampling. Prior to analysis, the research instruments were tested for validity and reliability to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. The data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results indicate that price has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions and is the most dominant influencing factor. This finding suggests that consumers place strong emphasis on the suitability between price and perceived benefits when making purchasing decisions. Product quality also shows a positive and significant influence, although its effect is relatively smaller compared to price. Simultaneously, price and product quality explain a portion of the variation in purchasing decisions, while other factors outside the study also contribute. Based on these findings, PT Mandom Indonesia Tbk is advised to prioritize competitive pricing strategies while consistently maintaining product quality to enhance purchase intentions and strengthen consumer loyalty.

This study investigates the impact of taste and service quality on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, at Dapoer MbokSum Kediri. The research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were obtained through the distribution of structured questionnaires to customers, while secondary data were collected via interviews with the business owner and direct field observations to gain a deeper understanding of operational practices. A total of 120 respondents were selected through accidental sampling, ensuring that participants met specific criteria relevant to the study objectives.

The results of the analysis indicate that both taste and service quality exert significant and positive influences on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, service quality demonstrates a significant and direct positive effect on customer loyalty. In contrast, taste does not show a direct influence on loyalty, suggesting that its effect on loyalty is more indirect and mediated by satisfaction Additionally, the mediation analysis confirms that customer satisfaction plays a critical role in linking both taste and service quality to customer loyalty. This implies that while customers may appreciate the taste of food, it is their overall satisfaction—encompassing both taste and service experiences—that ultimately drives loyalty. The study highlights the importance for culinary businesses, particularly in the competitive food service industry, to focus not only on product quality but also on delivering excellent service to enhance satisfaction and foster long-term customer relationships. The findings provide practical insights for Dapoer MbokSum Kediri and similar establishments to strategically prioritize service quality improvements alongside maintaining food taste to maximize customer retention and loyalty.
