Digital marketing today functions not only as a promotional tool but also as an interactive medium that shapes customer experience at every stage of the consumer journey. This study aims to analyze the extent to which digital marketing strategies and customer experience contribute to consumer purchase intention for Mitra Baker Old Lambang Sari products. A quantitative research design was applied using a survey method, with questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents.

The partial test results revealed that both digital marketing strategies and customer experience individually exert a positive and significant influence on purchase intention, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) and t-values exceeding the critical t-table values. Furthermore, the simultaneous test confirmed that the two variables jointly have a significant effect, supported by an F-value of 108.003, which is greater than the F-table value of 3.09, and a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.690, indicating that 69% of the variation in consumer purchase intention is explained by digital marketing strategies and customer experience, while the remaining 31% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings highlight that implementing effective digital marketing strategies alongside delivering high-quality customer experiences is crucial for enhancing consumer purchase intention in MSMEs within the digital era.

In the current era, the land transportation sector in Indonesia is still in the development stage, both for private and public use. The needs of modern society, which demands that everything be more practical and efficient, has led to an increase in demand for motor vehicles, especially car rental services, every day. This study uses a quantitative method with a focus on analyzing data obtained from questionnaires. The independent variables in this study consist of price (X1), promotion (X2), and service quality (X3), while the dependent variable is customer decision (Y). The research data was collected from 100 respondents who used SJ Trans Rent Car services in Sidoarjo and analyzed statistically using SPSS version 25. The analysis results show a regression model of Y = 1.791 + 0.148X1 + 0.220X2 + 0.227X3 + e. If the values of X1, X2, and X3 are zero, then the Y variable remains at 1.791. However, a one-unit increase in price perception contributes positively to customer decisions, as do effective promotions and good service quality, which have a significant impact on increasing customer decisions. The three variables were found to have a positive relationship with Y, both partially and simultaneously. These findings confirm that the right pricing strategy, effective promotion, and high-quality service are important factors that service providers must consider in order to increase competitiveness and build customer loyalty in the car rental industry.

This study investigates the differences in customer satisfaction levels toward the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia by employing a nonparametric statistical approach. Customer satisfaction is a critical benchmark in Islamic banking, as it not only reflects the quality of services but also the extent to which sharia compliance is embedded in financial practices. Given that satisfaction data are generally ordinal and may not fulfill the assumptions of normal distribution, nonparametric methods such as the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were selected as the primary analytical tools. This research adopts a qualitative library-based method by reviewing relevant literature, scientific articles, and previous empirical studies to construct a comprehensive understanding of customer satisfaction measurement within Islamic banking. The findings highlight that variations in satisfaction are influenced by multiple factors, including service speed, staff friendliness, accessibility of digital platforms, and clarity of sharia principles applied in daily operations. Results further suggest that demographic characteristics and service usage frequency significantly shape satisfaction differences across customer groups. Theoretically, this study enriches the body of knowledge on the application of nonparametric statistics in Islamic banking research, while practically, it provides actionable insights for Bank Syariah Indonesia in formulating adaptive service strategies. These contributions are expected to assist the bank in strengthening customer loyalty, enhancing competitiveness, and sustaining growth in the dynamic modern banking industry.
