Consumers are increasingly sensitive to pricing structures, especially given the economic pressures and the availability of alternative brands. Price sensitivity, therefore, should be a focal point in shaping future marketing strategies. Companies need to conduct regular market analysis to ensure their pricing aligns with customer expectations and perceived value.

This study aims to analyze the influence of advertising, trust, and discounts on purchasing decisions among Shopee app users, focusing on students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta as respondents. The background of this study departs from the increasing competition in e-commerce in Indonesia, which requires each platform to develop appropriate marketing strategies to attract consumers' attention and build their loyalty.

Conversely, the advertising variable did not show a significant influence on purchasing decisions, which could mean that the intensity or quality of advertising is not strong enough to drive purchasing decisions in this respondent segment. The findings of this study provide practical contributions for Shopee in designing more targeted marketing strategies, emphasizing the importance of building and maintaining consumer trust, as well as utilizing proven effective promotional strategies such as discounts. Therefore, this study not only enriches the literature on consumer behavior in the e-commerce context but also offers useful recommendations for digital business practitioners in increasing competitiveness.

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand ambassadors, sales promotions, and brand image on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo products in Balikpapan. The research utilizes both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to followers of the Mie Lemonilo Instagram account in Balikpapan, while secondary data were gathered from various supporting sources. The population in this study consisted of all followers of the Mie Lemonilo Instagram account in Balikpapan, with a sample size of 100 individuals. The results of the study indicate that Brand Ambassador (X1) does not significantly influence the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo.

In contrast, Sales Promotion (X2) has a significant positive impact on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo. This indicates that sales promotions, such as discounts or special offers, have a substantial effect in attracting consumer interest and increasing purchase intention in Balikpapan. Meanwhile, Brand Image (X3) does not show a significant influence on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo. This may be due to other factors being more dominant in influencing consumers’ purchase decisions, such as product price, quality, or social factors and market trends. This study provides insights that, although brand image is important, sales promotions play a more significant role in driving purchase intention for Mie Lemonilo products in Balikpapan. Therefore, the company should focus more on promotional strategies to increase sales while continuing to consider the role of brand ambassadors and brand image in their marketing strategies.

Ikat weaving is one of the typical cultural heritage of East Nusa Tenggara, especially the Sikka area in Maumere. This traditional fabric is made through a process of weaving manually by the local community, making it unique and has high artistic value. Even though it is in the modern era, the appeal of ikat woven fabrics remains strong and has not been displaced by the development of the times. The production of this fabric is still actively ongoing and has become a symbol of regional cultural identity that is full of philosophical and aesthetic meaning. This study aims to analyze the influence of price on the purchase decision of Sikka ikat woven fabric by consumers.

The value of t is calculated (7.993) > t of the table (1.985), so that H₀ is subtracted and H₁ is accepted. This means that price has a significant effect on purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.398) shows that price explains 39.8% of the variation in the purchase decision. Thus, it can be concluded that price has a positive influence on consumers' decisions in buying Sikka ikat woven fabrics. This means that the more the price is in line with consumer expectations, the higher the buying interest in this traditional product. This research provides important input for MSME actors and local artisans to be more careful in determining competitive prices while still reflecting the quality and cultural value of the product.

Skintific, as a digital-native skincare brand, actively utilizes digital marketing strategies through various social media platforms such as Instagram, Tiktok, or e-commerce like Shopee to increase consumer appeal, especially in Malang City. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structual Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method to test the relationship between variables. The sample was obtained through a purposive sampling technique with 114 respondents who are active consumers of Skintific. The results of this study indicate that Online Advertising has a significant effect on purchasing decisions, both directly and through the mediation of Trust and Social Media Engagement. Theoretically, this study extends the application of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) in explaining the formation of attitudes and subjective norms of consumers towards digital advertising, as well as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which shows how perceived ease and usefulness of digital advertising content affect user engagement. Customer Trust Theory in E-Commerce is used to explain how trust is formed in online transactions, while Relationship Marketing Theory emphasizes the importance of long-term interactions between brands and consumers. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) expands this framework by adding the construct of behavioral control, which explains how consumers' perceptions of ease and barriers contribute to purchasing decisions. Social Influence Theory is used to understand the influence of social norms and online community opinions on purchase intentions, and Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) to examine consumer motivations in accessing and interacting with digital content based on information needs, affection, and self-identity. This research provides theoretical contributions in strengthening the relevance of integrating several consumer behavior theories in a digital context.

This study aims to analyze the effect of green marketing on purchase decision with brand image as a mediating variable among consumers of Satvika Bhoga in Denpasar. The research is grounded in the increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues, which has not yet been fully reflected in consistent purchasing behavior toward environmentally friendly products. Despite a rise in environmental consciousness, many consumers remain skeptical or indifferent unless a brand manages to build a credible and positive image aligned with eco-friendly values. Employing a quantitative approach with an associative research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to Satvika Bhoga consumers, selected using purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using path analysis and the Sobel test to assess both direct and indirect relationships among variables. These methods allowed the researchers to examine not only the magnitude of influence but also the mediating role of brand image in shaping purchase decisions. The results indicate that green marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision and significantly strengthens Satvika Bhoga’s brand image as an environmentally conscious brand. Furthermore, brand image was found to have a strong and statistically significant influence on purchase decision, confirming its role as a partial mediator. This implies that green marketing efforts, such as eco-friendly packaging, sustainable sourcing, and environmental messaging, not only influence consumer decisions directly but also enhance the overall brand perception, which in turn further motivates consumers to make purchases. Thus, businesses aiming to improve eco-product sales should prioritize consistent green marketing strategies that reinforce a trustworthy and environmentally responsible brand image.
