The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed consumer behavior, making online applications the primary channel for interaction and transactions. These applications provide convenience for consumers to access various products and services quickly and efficiently. In this context, the quality of service provided, along with the rating and reviews shared online, plays a crucial role in influencing purchasing decisions. For instance, the Fore Coffee app allows consumers to leave reviews and ratings, which can influence other consumers in selecting the desired products or services. These factors are essential in increasing customers' purchase intention, as consumers tend to rely on the experiences of others as references when making decisions. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to consumers of the Fore Coffee app in West Surabaya. The study aims to determine the extent to which service quality, ratings, and reviews affect consumers' purchase intentions. The data collected were then processed using SPSS version 20 to conduct validity tests, reliability tests, multiple linear regression, and t-tests. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure that the instruments used in this research accurately and consistently measure the relevant variables. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between the independent variables (service quality, ratings, and reviews) and the dependent variable (purchase intention). Meanwhile, t-tests were used to examine the significant impact of each variable on purchase intention. The findings of this study can provide valuable insights for Fore Coffee in formulating more effective marketing strategies. The results indicate that service quality, ratings, and reviews significantly influence consumers' purchase intentions. With this understanding, Fore Coffee can improve the customer experience and strengthen its competitive position in an increasingly competitive market.

This study aims to analyze the sentiment of customer reviews of the Grand Jatra Hotel Pekanbaru on the Google Review platform using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. Social media and online review platforms are increasingly becoming the primary source of information for potential customers in making purchasing decisions, particularly in the hospitality sector. Therefore, sentiment analysis of customer reviews is crucial for understanding consumer perceptions and providing strategic input for hotels in improving service quality. The research data was collected using web scraping techniques to obtain publicly available customer reviews. The obtained data was then processed through text preprocessing stages including case folding, tokenizing, normalization, stopword removal, and stemming.

The sentiment classification process was carried out into two main categories, namely positive and negative. The Naïve Bayes model was trained using training data and then tested with test data to measure the algorithm's performance in classifying sentiment. The evaluation results show that the model built is able to achieve an accuracy level of 98%, with a precision value of 97% and a recall of 100% in the positive class, and 92% in the negative class. These findings confirm that the Naïve Bayes algorithm can be effectively used in analyzing customer sentiment towards hotel services and facilities. Practically, the results of this study are expected to provide insight for the management of Grand Jatra Hotel Pekanbaru in understanding customer perceptions, identifying service strengths and weaknesses, and formulating more targeted marketing strategies. In addition, this study can also be a reference for the development of similar studies in the hotel industry and other service sectors.

This study explores the relationships between digital marketing content, value co-creation, and product branding on perceived product exclusivity within the Indonesian batik industry. As traditional industries face increasing pressure to modernize while preserving cultural heritage, understanding these marketing dynamics is crucial for achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. The study employed a quantitative methodology with saturated sampling, analyzing data from 92 batik enterprises using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS 4.0. The measurement model demonstrated strong reliability and validity, with all constructs meeting the established criteria for internal consistency and discriminant validity. Structural model results revealed that all three marketing variables significantly influence perceived product exclusivity. Among these variables, product branding showed the strongest effect (β = 0.358, p < 0.001), followed by digital marketing content (β = 0.312, p < 0.001) and value co-creation (β = 0.276, p < 0.001). This indicates that the branding strategies implemented by batik enterprises play a pivotal role in shaping consumers' perceptions of exclusivity. The integrated model explained 61.5% of the variance in perceived product exclusivity (R² = 0.615), with strong predictive relevance (Q² = 0.438). These findings underscore the importance of developing a strategic brand that not only reflects the unique qualities of batik but also resonates with contemporary consumer expectations. Additionally, the study highlights the role of digital marketing content in strengthening these perceptions and the significance of facilitating customer co-creation to enhance engagement and exclusivity. In conclusion, batik enterprises are encouraged to prioritize brand development while implementing comprehensive digital marketing strategies and fostering customer involvement in co-creation activities. This approach will enhance the exclusivity of their products and improve their market positioning within the contemporary cultural products landscape.

This study investigates the influence of promotion, brand image, and location on purchasing decisions at 3Second Store Kediri. The research employs a quantitative approach using both primary and secondary data sources. The primary data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 309 respondents, while the secondary data were collected via interviews with store supervisors and direct observation at the research site. The variables under examination include promotion, brand image, and location as independent variables, and purchasing decision as the dependent variable. Data analysis involved both partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing to determine the strength and significance of each variable’s effect. The findings reveal that, partially, each of the three independent variables—promotion, brand image, and location—has a significant and positive effect on purchasing decisions. This indicates that improvement in any of these aspects will lead to a higher likelihood of customers making a purchase. Simultaneous testing also demonstrates that the three variables collectively exert a significant and positive influence on purchasing decisions. Among these, promotion emerges as the most dominant factor affecting purchasing decisions, as confirmed through the partial t-test results. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.581, which signifies that 58% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by the three examined variables, while the remaining 42% is attributed to other factors not covered in this study, such as product quality, customer service, and pricing strategies. These results suggest that marketing strategies focusing on well-planned promotional activities, maintaining a strong and positive brand image, and choosing a strategic store location can effectively increase customer purchasing decisions. The findings provide valuable insights for retail management, particularly for fashion retail brands like 3Second Store, in developing targeted strategies to optimize sales performance.

This study discusses the phenomenon of silent lead in digital marketing strategy Amanah Bunda Daycare Semarang. This phenomenon refers to potential customers who have made an initial interaction through WhatsApp Business After seeing Meta Ads ads, but then do not continue communication or convert into customers. The phenomenon of silent leads is an important concern because although the digital marketing process manages to reach the target audience and trigger an initial response, the interaction does not continue until the purchase or registration stage of the service. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the characteristics of passive behavior. The Data was collected through in-depth interviews with the internal manager of Amanah Bunda Daycare and five informants identified as silent leads. The results showed that the passive attitude of potential customers is influenced by several main factors, namely the location that is considered less strategic or too far, the perception of prices that are considered high, personal conditions such as changes in plans or time constraints, as well as the quality of customer service communication that is perceived to be less than optimal in providing responses, information, and personal approach. This phenomenon has not been fully accommodated in classic conversion models such as Aida (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) and model 5A (Aware, Appeal, Ask, Act, Advocate). This shows that there are gaps in marketing communication strategies, especially in managing potential customers who initially respond positively but stop before conversion. Therefore, this study recommends the development of a more empathetic, structured and sustainable approach to communication. Suggested strategies include improving customer service systems based on quick response and personalization, implementing polite but consistent follow-up strategies, and composing marketing content that is able to build trust and emotional connection with potential customers. With these measures, it is expected that silent leads can be minimized and conversion rates increased significantly.

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.

This study aims to compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks operating in Jambi Province during the 2021–2023 period. The approach used is comparative quantitative, with descriptive analysis and independent sample t-tests. Five key financial ratios were analyzed in this study: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Data were obtained from the quarterly financial reports of each sample bank, thus reflecting actual financial performance on a periodic and ongoing basis. The analysis shows significant differences in three key financial ratios: ROA, ROE, and BOPO. Conventional banks demonstrate higher levels of profitability and operational efficiency than Islamic banks. High ROA and ROE values reflect the effectiveness of conventional banks in generating profits from their assets and capital. Furthermore, lower BOPO ratios in conventional banks indicate a better ability to control operating costs. In contrast, no significant differences were found in the NIM and LDR ratios, indicating equality between the two types of banks in generating interest margins and disbursing credit or financing to customers. This finding has important implications for the development of the Islamic banking sector to be more competitive, particularly in terms of efficiency and profitability. Islamic banks are expected to improve their asset and operational management strategies to increase competitiveness amidst the dual banking system in Indonesia. This research also contributes to regulators in formulating policies that support the growth of Islamic banks in the regions. For academics and practitioners, this study broadens understanding of the dynamics of local banking financial performance and serves as a reference for further research on the effectiveness of the dual banking system in the regional context.

The radical transformations toward business economies and knowledge-based information have become a focal point for writers and researchers, particularly in the fields of public administration and financial management. These changes have significantly affected the banking industry, especially with the liberalization of global markets for financial and banking organizations, along with the rapid technological advancements and information shifts. Such transformations have inevitably led to alterations in banking performance, with new methods being adopted to address emerging challenges in the banking sector. In this context, Total Quality Management (TQM) has emerged as a crucial concept with a clear impact on banking performance. Its significance is particularly evident within Islamic banks, as they play a vital role in the global banking system, operating under a set of unique principles and practices. The effectiveness of TQM in improving the operational efficiency and risk management strategies of these institutions cannot be overstated, as these banks consistently demonstrate financial sufficiency, often exceeding required ratios. However, despite their financial stability, Islamic banks face challenges in fully implementing the principles of TQM. This study seeks to explore how the requirements of TQM can help reduce financing risks in Islamic banks by enhancing service quality, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing internal processes. By examining the relationship between TQM practices and risk management strategies, this research aims to offer insights into how Islamic banks can better navigate the complexities of modern financial landscapes while ensuring continued growth and stability. Through this study, the potential for TQM to serve as a strategic tool for reducing financing risks in Islamic banks will be assessed, contributing to a more sustainable and competitive banking environment.

People's Business Credit (KUR) is a financing program distributed by the government through banking institutions, including Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), to support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and cooperatives. In its implementation, KUR credit is not free from various problems, one of which is non-performing loans. This study aims to determine the factors causing non-performing loans and efforts to resolve them in KUR loans at Bank BRI Karanganyar Branch, Tasikmadu Unit. The method used in this study is qualitative research, with data sources derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection techniques were conducted through direct interviews with relevant parties. The results show that the main causes of non-performing loans are divided into two major factors. First, external factors, namely those originating from the customer. This problem is generally related to the customer's inability to pay installments due to business failure. Second, internal factors, such as the failure of creditworthiness analysis by bank officers, resulting in prospective debtors who are actually unworthy actually receiving loans. In resolving non-performing loans, BRI Bank's Karanganyar Branch, Tasikmadu Unit, applies five main methods: (1) changing the loan interest rate, (2) reducing fines or penalties, (3) reducing the outstanding principal, (4) extending the loan term, and (5) selling collateral. Additionally, there are also settlement methods that involve a combination of these five methods, depending on the debtor's circumstances and the agreement between the two parties.

Therefore, this study applies the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) method to develop a website- based dessert sales system aimed at enhancing business efficiency and customer satisfaction. This study employs a descriptive approach with the POAC method in website-based marketing strategies. The planningphase involves designing e-commerce features, such as product catalogs, an online ordering system, and digital payments. The organizing phase focuses on resource management and technology integration, while actuating includes implementing the system using MySQL, PHP, and CodeIgniter. The controlling phase is conducted through system testing using the Blackbox Testing method to evaluate application performance. The study results indicate that implementing the POAC method in a website- based system enhances the operational efficiency of dessert businesses. Transaction records become more accurate, customers can easily access product information, and the digital payment system improves transaction convenience. Furthermore, the website enables businesses to reach a broader market without geographical limitations. The implementation of the POAC method in website-based business management has proven to improve marketing and sales effectiveness.

This study aims to examine the influence of the marketing mix on the sales volume at Senyala Space coffee shop, focusing on four independent variables: product, price, place, and promotion. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The population of the study consists of Senyala Space customers from 2020 to 2024, and the sample was selected using nonprobability sampling and Slovin’s technique to determine a representative sample size. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with customers who visited Senyala Space during the specified period. Data analysis was conducted using several statistical tests, including validity testing, reliability testing, normality testing, linearity testing, multicollinearity testing, heteroscedasticity testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. Additionally, the coefficient of determination (R²), partial test (t-test), and simultaneous test (F-test) were used to examine the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. All analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The results show that the marketing mix significantly affects the sales volume at Senyala Space. Of the four marketing mix variables analyzed, price was found to have a significant negative effect on sales volume, indicating that an increase in price tends to decrease sales volume. On the other hand, the other three variables—product, place, and promotion—have a significant positive effect on sales volume. This suggests that improvements in product quality, strategic location selection, and effective promotions can increase sales at Senyala Space. These findings provide recommendations for Senyala Space’s management to enhance their marketing strategies by considering the factors influencing customer purchasing decisions, in order to boost sales volume in the future.
