This study highlights Bajawa Coffee Shop in Bekasi as the main subject in examining the factors that influence customer loyalty. This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and price perception on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. Service quality refers to the extent to which the service provided is able to meet customer expectations, while price perception is the customer's assessment of the economic value of the product or service received, which is influenced by costs, market demand, and business strategy. Customer satisfaction is a subjective evaluation of the experience of using a service, which reflects how well customer expectations are met by actual performance. This satisfaction plays an important role in building long-term relationships between customers and companies, and has a major impact on loyalty, brand reputation, and business sustainability. Customer loyalty itself is defined as a commitment to continue choosing and recommending a particular product or service, despite offers from competitors. In the context of increasingly tight competition in the cafe industry and the increasing trend of coffee consumption, understanding the factors that shape loyalty is very important. This study uses service quality and price perception as independent variables, customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, and customer loyalty as a dependent variable. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more effective business strategies in retaining customers at the Bajawa Bekasi Coffee Shop.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of content marketing strategies in the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia, with a focus on the effectiveness of content in enhancing audience engagement and building the image of Islamic brands. The research was conducted through a literature review of various academic sources and previous studies, as well as an analysis of the content marketing of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) on its YouTube channel as the main object. In the digital context, the types of content used include educational videos, marketing videos, and collaborations with influencers. The findings indicate that visual, educational, interactive, and authentic content has a significant impact on driving digital engagement and increasing brand awareness. Meanwhile, promotional content delivered through influencers tends to be more effective when preceded by strong brand image reinforcement, enabling consumers to develop a more positive perception of the institution. Further analysis reveals that BSI’s YouTube channel has demonstrated consistency in branding, Islamic positioning, and delivering educational messages. However, audience interaction remains limited, as reflected in the minimal responses to comments, underutilization of community features, and subscriber growth lagging behind major banks such as BCA. This situation highlights the need to optimize strategies through strengthening two-way communication, delivering serial educational content, employing more strategic calls-to-action (CTA), and integrating with the official website and other digital platforms.The study concludes that the success of content marketing in Islamic banking heavily depends on value relevance, publication consistency, and the ability to build sustainable interaction with audiences, thereby supporting increased loyalty and customer acquisition. These findings provide important contributions to designing effective and sustainable digital communication strategies that align with ethical principles and Islamic values.
