The growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has changed consumption patterns, especially in the online purchase of skincare products. Shopee, as the largest marketplace, has become the main platform for brands such as Skintific, which has achieved high sales. This phenomenon shows the support of online consumer reviews (Electronic Word of Mouth/E-WOM) and digital shopping experiences (Online Customer Experience/OCE). This study aims to examine the influence of E-WOM and OCE on purchasing decisions for Skintific products on Shopee. This study used a quantitative method with an associative approach. The research sample consisted of 97 respondents obtained through purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed through validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the study indicate that E-WOM has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions (calculated t = 5.209 > table t = 1.986; sig. <.001). OCE also has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions (t-count = 7.605 > t-table = 1.986; sig. <.001). Simultaneously, both independent variables have a significant effect on purchasing decisions (F-count = 101.366 > f-table = 3.09; sig. <.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.683 indicates that 68.3% of the variation in purchase decisions can be explained by E-WOM and OCE, while the remaining 31.7% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that consumer online reviews and positive online shopping experiences play an important role in increasing purchase decisions for Skintific products on Shopee.

This study aims to examine the influence of word of mouth on buying interest and its impact on the purchase decision of Muzan Net wi-fi services. This study uses three main variables, namely independent variables, bound variables, and intervening variables. The free variable is word of mouth, the bound variable is the purchase decision, while the intervening variable is the buying interest. The research sample consisted of 55 consumer respondents who knew and used the Muzan Net wi-fi service in Sanggrahan Village. Research data was obtained through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, with sampling techniques using the simple random sampling method. Data analysis is carried out through several stages, namely measurement or outer model, structural model or inner model, and hypothesis test. The results of the study show that word of mouth has a positive and significant effect on buying interest. Furthermore, word of mouth also has a positive but not insignificant effect directly on the purchase decision. Meanwhile, buying interest has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. In addition, buying interest is able to mediate the relationship between word of mouth and purchase decisions, thereby strengthening the role of word of mouth in encouraging consumers to finally make a purchase decision. This research provides practical benefits for companies in maximizing word-of-mouth-based marketing strategies, as well as a reference for future research to develop similar studies with different objects, locations, and variables.

The increasing prevalence of online customer reviews has made them a critical component in consumer decision-making processes, particularly in the food and beverage sector. These reviews serve as valuable feedback, influencing both the assessment of product quality and the establishment of consumer trust. In the context of Burger Bangor in Gianyar Regency, this study aims to examine the mediating role of trust in the relationship between online customer reviews and purchasing decisions.

The number of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) active on social media is on the increase. Because of this, many Indonesian MSMEs advertise their wares on social media. The snack food MSME industry is one that is seeing expansion. In recent times, TikTok has gained popularity as a promotional medium that offers cost-effective information delivery. The impact of TikTok on live streaming engagement, which mixes entertainment aspects with commercial messaging, has been the subject of several studies in the marketing literature.

This study examines the influence of product quality, service quality, and word of mouth on purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café Surakarta, based on 100 randomly selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that service quality and word of mouth have a positive and significant effect, while product quality is not significant. The coefficient of determination of 61.3% indicates that the independent variables explain most of the variation in purchase decisions, contributing to marketing management research in the café industry. The results highlight the crucial role of service quality in shaping customer perceptions and driving decision-making in the café industry. High-quality service fosters positive customer experiences, which, in turn, encourage repeat visits and enhance loyalty. Additionally, the significant influence of word of mouth underscores the importance of social interactions and customer recommendations in the decision-making process, especially in a service-based business like a café, where personal experiences are often shared and valued among peer groups. Conversely, the insignificance of product quality suggests that while product standards are important, they may not be the primary driver of purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café. This indicates that customers may prioritize the overall experience, atmosphere, and peer recommendations over product differentiation when choosing where to dine or spend leisure time. These findings contribute to the body of marketing management research, particularly in the context of the café industry, by emphasizing the strategic importance of service excellence and customer engagement strategies to enhance brand reputation and influence consumer behavior. Future research could explore additional factors such as pricing, promotional strategies, and customer loyalty programs to provide a more comprehensive understanding of purchase decision dynamics.
