This study aims to determine the influence of affiliate marketing programs, price, and promotion on purchasing decisions for Mezuca perfume on TikTok Shop. As the digital era advances, social media platforms like TikTok serve not only as entertainment platforms but also as effective channels for marketing products through the TikTok Shop feature and affiliate programs. This strategy allows content creators to act as sales partners, directly influencing consumer decisions. This quantitative study utilizes primary data obtained through questionnaires distributed to 180 respondents who had purchased Mezuca perfume through Mamnun's TikTok Shop account. After a selection process using purposive sampling, 160 respondents met the criteria and were eligible for analysis. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software with various statistical tests, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination (R²). The results indicate that affiliate marketing programs, price, and promotion simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Partially, these three variables also show a significant positive influence on consumer decisions. These findings indicate that implementing effective digital marketing strategies, particularly through affiliate marketing, competitive pricing, and engaging promotions, plays a significant role in increasing consumer purchasing interest on social media platforms. This research offers practical implications for businesses in designing optimal and targeted digital marketing strategies.

This research presents a phenomenological inquiry aimed at deconstructing the conventional marketing paradigm and offering a deeper understanding of alternative practices. It specifically explores the anti-marketing strategy grounded in Islamic values as implemented at Warung Jendil Mbah Yamah, a traditional micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) located in Blitar, East Java. Employing a qualitative approach combined with a phenomenological method, the study gathered rich and nuanced data through several techniques, including in-depth interviews with nine carefully selected informants, participatory observation over an extended period, and systematic documentation studies. The thematic data analysis conducted by the researchers revealed that the warung’s anti-marketing strategy rests firmly on three interconnected pillars: (1) a strong reliance on organic word-of-mouth  communication rather than paid advertising, (2) the deliberate creation of an authentic, personal, and inclusive customer experience that builds emotional bonds with visitors, and (3) the consistent integration of Islamic ethical values into every aspect of business operations. These findings provide a meaningful theoretical contribution by synthesizing the concepts of anti-marketing and Islamic entrepreneurship into a new model of “authentic marketing,” where ethical and spiritual values serve as the strategic foundation for long-term sustainability. In practical terms, the results offer guidance for the broader development of MSMEs in Indonesia, showing that authenticity, ethical commitment, and adherence to core values can represent a stronger and more sustainable competitive advantage than conventional promotional strategies.

The study highlights the crucial role of social media integration in reaching younger demographics, fostering engagement, and amplifying educational messages. The consistent delivery of educational content, supported by visual storytelling and personalized approaches, has contributed significantly to Yakult’s sustainable growth in the Indonesian probiotic market. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on digital marketing and health communication, while practically, it offers insights for companies seeking to align promotional strategies with consumer education and public health improvement.

This Field Work Practice (KKL) was conducted at Delastra Farm Yogyakarta with the objective of analyzing the implementation of marketing strategies to increase sales in the livestock sector. The research employed a qualitative approach through observation, interviews with the business owner, and documentation review. Findings reveal that Delastra Farm adopts integrated marketing strategies combining online promotion, offline promotion, and community networking. The application of Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) as well as the Marketing Mix (product, price, place, promotion) has significantly enhanced consumer trust and strengthened the farm’s market position. Peak sales were recorded during Eid al-Adha, supported by stock increases, intensive promotions, and delivery services that meet customer expectations. Supporting factors include product quality, the credibility of the owner as both practitioner and academic, and varied promotional strategies across digital and traditional platforms. However, the farm faces several challenges, such as limited capital, fluctuating feed prices, and intense competition within the livestock market. This study highlights the importance of digital marketing adoption, customer relationship management, and product diversification to reduce seasonal risks. The practical implication is that effective marketing strategies can improve not only sales performance but also long-term brand positioning for local livestock businesses. Theoretically, this activity demonstrates the relevance of applying marketing management concepts to micro and small-scale enterprises in the agricultural sector. Strategic recommendations include strengthening digital presence through social media and marketplaces, expanding partnerships with restaurants and religious institutions, and exploring external funding to support sustainable business growth.

This study analyzes the public relations efforts of Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Banten in maintaining its existence in the digital era and identifies the inhibiting factors faced. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews with informants from various divisions at RRI Banten, as well as observations of the communication strategies and programs implemented. The results of the study indicate that RRI Banten has undertaken a significant digital transformation, including through the development of the RRI Digital application as a means to expand broadcast access, active use of social media to reach a wider audience, and the implementation of a broadcast program segmentation strategy to adapt to the needs and preferences of listeners from various groups. However, the study also identified several crucial inhibiting factors. Limited human resources, particularly in mastery of digital technology, remain a major obstacle in optimizing the transformation program. In addition, the uneven geographic coverage of broadcasts in some areas limits public access to RRI services. Increasingly fierce competition with other digital media that offer greater flexibility, speed, and interactivity also poses a major challenge. On the other hand, the lack of optimal digital promotion and difficulties in reaching the interests of the younger generation hamper the increase in RRI's popularity in the era of media digitalization.

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.

The silver craft center in Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency, Bali faces significant challenges related to product marketing in the digital era. A heavy reliance on offline sales through exhibitions and tourists has resulted in slim profit margins for artisans, making their economic conditions highly vulnerable to fluctuations in visitor numbers. Additionally, silver artisans face difficulties in managing digital marketing, including limitations in writing attractive product descriptions, lack of understanding of product photography, and insufficient skills in managing social media and online stores. This situation adversely affects market reach, especially for international consumers who cannot access these products directly. To address these issues, the Japanese Literature Study Program at Mahasaraswati University Denpasar collaborated with Shitennoji University, Osaka, to conduct a community service program focused on mentoring digital marketing for silver craft products targeting the Japanese market, particularly with Yanyan Silver, one of the cooperative partners. The community service activities lasted for two months, beginning with observation and situation analysis on June 14, 2025, and concluding with evaluation at the end of August 2025. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach enabled active participation from artisans in every stage of the activity, from problem identification, planning, implementation, to evaluation. This approach ensures that the solutions produced are tailored to local needs and context. The marketing strategy employed used an integrated marketing mix covering product, price, promotion, and distribution through digital platforms. This facilitated easier customer access in Japan and enhanced Yanyan Silver’s brand awareness. These efforts positively impacted expanding market reach, improving the economic stability of artisans, and strengthening the competitiveness of silver craft products internationally, especially in the Japanese market.

SQ Florist has been a flower board-making service provider since 2019. Currently, SQ Florist faces several obstacles, including ineffective social media promotions, limited staff training in digital marketing, and a suboptimal flower board production process. Furthermore, revenue recording is still manual, resulting in inefficient financial management. This study aims to expand market reach while improving service quality so that SQ Florist can compete better. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies. The analysis tool uses the Business Model Canvas, which describes nine business elements including customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partners, and cost structures. The analysis results show that SQ Florist's business model is generally quite good, although there are areas for improvement, particularly in building relationships with customers, digital marketing, and product innovation. The use of social media such as Instagram and TikTok must be optimized by presenting promotional content in the form of attractive photos and videos to make online marketing more effective. Additionally, improving supplier relationships and offering differentiated products, such as flower bouquets or cash, can increase customer value. To facilitate decision-making, it is recommended to improve financial record-keeping through the use of digital applications. This step is expected to enable SQ Florist to improve its business sustainability, open more market opportunities, and compete more competitively in the creative services industry. By improving each element of the BMC, it is hoped that business sustainability and competitiveness can be further enhanced.

This research is motivated by the importance of marketing communication strategies for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in building brand image amid the increasingly competitive beauty industry. MSMEs are required to optimize various communication channels effectively to remain competitive and attract consumers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of marketing communication strategies carried out by Naza Makeup, an MSME in Bogor City, and to evaluate their effectiveness in strengthening brand image. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, in which data were obtained through an exploration of scientific journals, books, and other relevant academic sources published within the last five years. The findings show that Naza Makeup has attempted to utilize social media, particularly Instagram, as its primary promotional tool, while also relying on word-of-mouth to expand its consumer reach. However, the implementation of these marketing communication strategies has not been fully integrated with the principles of integrated marketing communications. Gaps between theory and practice remain evident, especially in terms of message consistency, market research, and strategic collaboration. These shortcomings limit the effectiveness of communication in strengthening brand image. The results emphasize the need for a more structured, sustainable, and data-driven communication strategy to build a strong and competitive brand image. Furthermore, developing collaborations with influencers, communities, and other industry players is strongly recommended to enhance competitiveness. Therefore, this study provides practical contributions for MSMEs, particularly in the beauty sector, in designing effective marketing communication strategies that support long-term sustainability.

Public awareness of environmental issues is increasing, but there is still a gap between ecological understanding and green consumption behavior. This phenomenon is evident in the low interest of local consumers in Suputra Herbal Incense products in Badung Regency, despite the product's strong ecological and cultural value. This condition raises questions about the factors influencing local consumers' green purchasing intentions towards environmentally friendly products. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal associative design to analyze the main predictors influencing green purchasing intentions. A total of 100 respondents were selected through a purposive sampling technique, namely potential consumers who are related to herbal incense products. The research instrument has been tested for validity and reliability, thus it is suitable for use in data collection. Data analysis was conducted with the help of multiple linear regression using SPSS software to test the research hypotheses. The results show that green brand image, green marketing, and price perception have a positive and significant influence on local consumers' green purchasing intentions. These findings confirm that an environmentally friendly brand image can strengthen consumer trust and interest. In addition, a consistent and authentic green marketing strategy plays a significant role in increasing product appeal. The perception of fair pricing is also a key consideration, as consumers tend to be more accepting of prices when they align with the product's ecological benefits and cultural values. In conclusion, this research provides practical contributions for MSMEs, particularly in designing effective and sustainable green marketing strategies. Efforts to strengthen green brand image, consistently implement environmentally friendly promotions, and foster a perception of fair pricing will encourage increased purchasing intentions among local consumers. Thus, eco-friendly products like Suputra Herbal Incense have the potential to compete more strongly in the increasingly competitive domestic market. Keywords: Green Purchase Intention, Green Brand Image, Green Marketing, Perceived Price, MSMEs
