The rapid growth of e-commerce has intensified competition among digital businesses, making pricing and discount strategies critical in influencing consumer purchase decisions. This study aims to examine the effect of original product price and price after discount on consumer purchase decisions on e-commerce platforms. A quantitative causal research design was employed using secondary data derived from publicly available e-commerce transaction records. Data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression to assess the partial and simultaneous effects of pricing variables on purchase decisions, which were measured using a price-based purchase decision index. The findings indicate that both original price and discounted price have a significant negative effect on consumer purchase decisions. This suggests that lower displayed and final prices increase consumers’ likelihood of making a purchase. Furthermore, the discounted price was found to exert a more dominant influence than the original price, highlighting the importance of perceived value in online purchasing behavior. This study contributes to the digital marketing literature by providing empirical evidence on pricing effects in e-commerce and offers practical insights for e-commerce platforms in designing effective and data-driven pricing and discount strategies.

This study aims to analyze the influence of advertising, trust, and discounts on purchasing decisions among Shopee app users, focusing on students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta as respondents. The background of this study departs from the increasing competition in e-commerce in Indonesia, which requires each platform to develop appropriate marketing strategies to attract consumers' attention and build their loyalty. The research method used was a quantitative survey involving 100 respondents selected through a convenience sampling technique, allowing researchers to quickly obtain data from relevant target groups. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression methods to test the proposed hypotheses. The results showed that consumer trust in the Shopee app has a significant influence on purchasing decisions, meaning that the higher the level of trust, the more likely consumers are to make purchases through the app. In addition, the discount factor was also proven to have a significant influence on purchasing decisions, indicating that price cuts are still an effective strategy in influencing consumer behavior, especially students. Conversely, the advertising variable did not show a significant influence on purchasing decisions, which could mean that the intensity or quality of advertising is not strong enough to drive purchasing decisions in this respondent segment. The findings of this study provide practical contributions for Shopee in designing more targeted marketing strategies, emphasizing the importance of building and maintaining consumer trust, as well as utilizing proven effective promotional strategies such as discounts. Therefore, this study not only enriches the literature on consumer behavior in the e-commerce context but also offers useful recommendations for digital business practitioners in increasing competitiveness.

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand ambassadors, sales promotions, and brand image on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo products in Balikpapan. The research utilizes both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to followers of the Mie Lemonilo Instagram account in Balikpapan, while secondary data were gathered from various supporting sources. The population in this study consisted of all followers of the Mie Lemonilo Instagram account in Balikpapan, with a sample size of 100 individuals. The results of the study indicate that Brand Ambassador (X1) does not significantly influence the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo. This suggests that the impact of the brand ambassador on consumer purchasing decisions in Balikpapan is not strong enough, possibly due to insufficient engagement or connection between the brand ambassador and consumers. In contrast, Sales Promotion (X2) has a significant positive impact on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo. This indicates that sales promotions, such as discounts or special offers, have a substantial effect in attracting consumer interest and increasing purchase intention in Balikpapan. Meanwhile, Brand Image (X3) does not show a significant influence on the purchase intention of Mie Lemonilo. This may be due to other factors being more dominant in influencing consumers’ purchase decisions, such as product price, quality, or social factors and market trends. This study provides insights that, although brand image is important, sales promotions play a more significant role in driving purchase intention for Mie Lemonilo products in Balikpapan. Therefore, the company should focus more on promotional strategies to increase sales while continuing to consider the role of brand ambassadors and brand image in their marketing strategies.
