The rapid growth of digital marketplaces has fundamentally transformed consumer decision-making processes by intensifying price transparency, product comparability, and information exposure. In highly competitive marketplace environments, consumers are frequently confronted with numerous product alternatives and dynamic pricing structures, which shape how they evaluate options and ultimately decide to purchase. This study examines the effects of product variety and price perception on consumers’ purchase decisions in the context of ROSCA tumbler products sold on the Shopee marketplace. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, this research employs a survey-based design to analyze the relationships among variables and to estimate their relative effects through multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected from 100 respondents who had previously purchased ROSCA tumblers on Shopee, selected using purposive sampling based on predefined criteria. The research instrument consisted of 15 Likert-scale items measuring product variety, price perception, and purchase decision. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, instrument validity and reliability testing, regression assumption diagnostics, and hypothesis testing using both partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) procedures. The findings reveal that product variety has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, indicating that consumers are more likely to finalize purchases when they perceive product options as sufficiently diverse, relevant, and comparable. Price perception also exerts a positive and significant influence and demonstrates a stronger relative effect compared to product variety. This result underscores the central role of perceived price fairness, competitiveness, and value-for-money in shaping purchase decisions within transparent and highly competitive marketplace settings. Simultaneously, product variety and price perception explain a substantial proportion of variance in purchase decisions, highlighting their combined importance as key marketing stimuli. These findings contribute to the literature on digital consumer behavior by providing empirical evidence from a specific marketplace–product context and offer practical implications for sellers and brand managers in optimizing assortment design and pricing strategies to enhance conversion rates in online marketplaces

This study aims to determine the extent to which service quality, product variety, and price influence purchasing decisions at Perdana Stationery Kediri. A quantitative research method was employed, involving a total of 170 respondents who were selected using accidental sampling techniques. The primary data were gathered through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire, and then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis to assess both the individual and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on purchasing decisions. The results of the partial tests showed that service quality has a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, with a t-value of 4.112 and a significance level of 0.000. Similarly, product variety demonstrated a significant positive effect (t = 3.905, p = 0.000), indicating that a wide selection of products can attract and retain more customers. Furthermore, price was also found to significantly influence purchasing decisions (t = 3.732, p = 0.000), suggesting that competitive and reasonable pricing remains an essential factor in consumers' buying behavior. The simultaneous test (F-test) showed that all three variables collectively have a significant impact on purchasing decisions, with an F-value of 45.672 and a significance value of 0.000. The model explains 45.1% of the variance in purchasing decisions, indicating a substantial level of influence. In conclusion, this study highlights that delivering high-quality service, offering diverse product options, and maintaining competitive pricing are key strategies for increasing customer purchasing decisions, improving market competitiveness, and fostering long-term customer loyalty.

The souvenir industry in Kediri has become increasingly competitive, driving business actors to strengthen their marketing strategies through brand image, service quality, and product variety. Rumah Madumongso, as one of the well-known local souvenir centers, faces challenges in maintaining consumer appeal amid the abundance of similar products available in the market. Therefore, a study is needed to examine the factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions. This research aims to analyze the influence of brand image, service quality, and product variety on purchasing decisions, both partially and simultaneously. The study applied a quantitative approach with a survey method, collecting data from 130 respondents using questionnaires distributed through accidental sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, employing validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that brand image and product variety have a positive but not significant effect on purchasing decisions. In contrast, service quality has a positive and significant influence, emphasizing the crucial role of service in encouraging consumers to make purchases. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence purchasing decisions, as indicated by an F-value of 56.740 with a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.575 indicates that 57.5% of the variation in purchasing decisions is explained by brand image, service quality, and product variety, while the remaining 42.5% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings highlight the need for more comprehensive marketing strategies to strengthen the competitiveness of local souvenir industries.

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image, product variety, and bundling price on purchasing decisions among X consumers. The method used is a quantitative approach with a causal research design, so as to be able to explain the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 96 respondents who are active consumers of X. To ensure data quality, a series of tests were conducted including validity, reliability, normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The main analysis used multiple linear regression supported by t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination (R²) processed using SPSS software version 26. The results showed that brand image had a significant effect on purchasing decisions, indicating that consumers' positive perceptions of X's reputation were able to encourage higher purchasing interest. Bundling price also proved to have a significant effect, because the strategy of combining package prices was considered to provide economic benefits and added value for consumers. In contrast, product variety did not have a significant effect, indicating that consumers place more emphasis on brand image and pricing strategies than simply menu diversity. However, when tested simultaneously, all three variables were still shown to have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination value of 0.594 indicates that the combination of the three variables can explain 59.4% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 40.6% is influenced by other external factors such as service quality, consumer trends, promotions, and customer experience. These findings reinforce the understanding that a strong brand image-based marketing strategy and the implementation of appropriate bundling prices can be key to increasing consumer appeal. For local coffee businesses like X, this study provides practical implications to focus more efforts on strengthening brand image, creating a consistent consumer experience, and optimizing pricing strategies.
