This research investigates the impact of influencer marketing, brand awareness, and product quality on consumers' decisions to purchase Wardah lip cream. Employing a quantitative method, data was gathered through an online questionnaire filled out by 100 participants who are actual users of the product. The data was then analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the SmartPLS 4 software.

Among the variables studied, product quality emerged as the most influential and statistically significant factor, indicating that consumers prioritize product performance when deciding to make a purchase. The model's explanatory power is shown by an R-square value of 0.645, meaning that 64.5% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by the three variables combined. Furthermore, the Q² Predict score of 0.620 indicates that the model is highly predictive and reliable in understanding consumer behavior. Overall, product quality plays a crucial role in shaping consumer choices regarding Wardah lip cream, surpassing the effects of brand familiarity or promotional efforts through influencers

This research examines the phenomenon of Gado-Gado Boplo as a legendary eating place recognized by Kompas, Flokq, and Nibble articles. The research uses quantitative methods using questionnaires via Google Form and secondary data from the internet, journals and interviews. The sample used was 100 people who had eaten at Gado-Gado Boplo using a Likert scale. All questions were declared valid, with a calculated R value > R table, after which the data was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha for reliability and Pearson Correlation for validity. Apart from that, the Cronbach alpha data value > 0.6 shows its reliability. The data was then subjected to multiple regression analysis, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing (T and F tests). The Excellence variable (X3) has a partially significant influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), but the Strength (X1) and Uniqueness variables (X2) do not have a partial influence on the Purchasing Decision variable (Y), according to the T test. Furthermore, jji F shows that variables X1, X2, and X3 all influence Y significantly at the same time. In conclusion, superiority has a favorable and large influence on purchasing choices, but strength and uniqueness only have a small influence. These three X factors all have a significant influence on purchasing choices (Y) at the same time.
