This study aims to determine the influence of marketing communications through Instagram on Generation Z's shopping interest in Makassar, with a focus on dyaozha clothing products. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing methods such as observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with Generation Z consumers. The research participants included shop owners and followers of the dyaozha Instagram account. The findings reveal that marketing communications through Instagram—particularly through the use of engaging visual content, appealing design implementation, and active interaction—play a crucial role in shaping Generation Z's shopping interest. Instagram features such as Stories, Reels, interactive polls, and comment sections enable brands to connect more personally with potential buyers. Attention-grabbing content helps build initial interest, while endorsements and testimonials contribute to trust and credibility. Furthermore, consistent interaction between the brand and followers fosters emotional connection and brand loyalty. These factors collectively influence both interest and purchasing decisions among the Gen Z demographic. The study concludes that dyaozha’s strategic use of Instagram marketing communications has proven effective in influencing the shopping behavior of its target audience. Recommendations for dyaozha include the continuous optimization of Instagram's interactive features—such as Q&A sessions, behind-the-scenes content, and user-generated content campaigns—to sustain engagement and improve conversion rates. Additionally, it is suggested that dyaozha expands its reach by targeting broader market segments and utilizing data-driven content strategies to adapt to evolving consumer preferences. This research highlights the vital role of social media in modern marketing strategies, especially when targeting digitally native audiences like Generation Z.

This study aims to examine the influence of independent variables—Social Media, Pricing, and Promotion—on the dependent variable, Repurchase Decision, at Kedai Kopi Bersahaja. A quantitative research method was employed, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS 25 software. The population of the study consisted of 226 consumers, and a sample of 107 respondents was selected using incidental sampling techniques.

Additionally, the variables collectively demonstrate a strong simultaneous influence, suggesting that an integrated marketing approach is crucial for fostering customer retention and encouraging repeat purchases. Among the three, Social Media showed the most dominant influence, emphasizing the growing role of digital presence and online engagement in shaping consumer preferences and purchasing patterns. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Kedai Kopi Bersahaja maximize the use of social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook by creating engaging, relevant, and interactive content that resonates with the target audience. Content strategies may include customer testimonials, behind-the-scenes videos, product highlights, and limited-time offers.

The Rice Bowl (Nasi Mangkok) culinary business in Indonesia has experienced rapid growth after the COVID-19 pandemic and has become a key part of the modern food industry, meeting consumer demand for convenience and taste. Since 2020, rice bowl sales have continued to rise annually, driven by shifting consumption habits toward food delivery services like GoFood and GrabFood. Despite this trend, academic studies on the rice bowl business remain limited. Classified as convenience food, rice bowl consumption has increased by over 10% from 2019 to the projected figures in 2025. Sales volume has risen from 1.5 billion portions in 2020 to over 3 billion in 2025, with an annual growth rate of 10–15% and estimated revenues between IDR 15–20 trillion per year. With rising demand, many rice bowl brands have entered the market. However, consumers often struggle to decide which brand to choose, as purchasing decisions are influenced by multiple factors. This study analyzes consumer behavior influencing rice bowl purchasing decisions, focusing on cultural, social, psychological, and personal factors, with a case study in Sidoarjo Regency, East Java. Using an explanatory research design, the study surveyed 161 consumers across four sales locations.The F-test results show that all four variables simultaneously have a significant positive effect on purchasing decisions (at the 99% confidence level). However, the t-test results reveal that the cultural factor (X1) negatively influences purchasing decisions, while social, psychological, and personal factors have a positive impact. Among these, the psychological factor (X3) is the most dominant, highlighting the importance of consumer motivation and perception in shaping buying behavior. Enhancing this factor can support the sustainable growth of rice bowl businesses in Sidoarjo.
