This study aims to analyze the digital marketing strategies implemented by clothing stores in the Telang area from a sharia economic perspective. In the digital era, business actors are required to adapt to technology, including in terms of promotion and marketing. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that most business actors have utilized social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Marketplace to market their products. The strategies implemented are mostly in line with the principles of sharia economics such as honesty (ṣidq), openness (tabligh), and amanah. However, some practices that are not in accordance with sharia are still found, such as the use of photos that do not match the original product (gharar) and excessive promotion (tadlis). The main inhibiting factors in the implementation of sharia digital strategies are limited digital literacy and infrastructure. Therefore, ongoing assistance and training in sharia-based digital marketing are needed to improve understanding and business practices in accordance with Islamic values.

The growth of digital platforms has driven significant transformations in marketing communication strategies, particularly in e-commerce advertising practices. Shopee, as one of the largest e-commerce companies in Indonesia, utilizes digital propaganda strategies through visual and audio content to shape consumer perception and behavior. The advertisement with the slogan "Belanja Seru, Hidup Lebih Mudah" (Fun Shopping, Easier Life) not only conveys promotional messages but also constructs social meanings of consumption, convenience, and happiness through symbols and visual narratives. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using literature review techniques to analyze the message structure and communication strategies embedded in Shopee advertisements. The analysis considers visual, symbolic, and repetitive elements that function as covert propaganda mechanisms. The theoretical framework is based on propaganda communication and semiotic theory to understand how advertisements systematically shape consumerist consciousness. Findings reveal that propaganda in Shopee’s advertisements operates through symbolic repetition, celebrity endorsement, and the use of digital features such as limited-time promotions that trigger impulsive behavior. These practices contribute to the formation of digital consumer culture, supported by emotional engagement and algorithmic targeting. Media literacy enhancement is therefore essential to equip the public with critical awareness towards persuasive messages in digital spaces.
