This research was designed to explore the extent to which public beliefs influence the implementation of Digital traceability  systems in the halal industrial sector. The approach used was quantitative with a survey method, where questionnaires were distributed to 60 respondents who were consumers of halal products in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression via Microsoft Excel. Research findings indicate that public confidence has a positive and significant influence on the adoption of Digital traceability  systems, with a regression coefficient of 0.476 and a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). In addition, the coefficient of determination (R Square) value of 0.219 indicates that public confidence contributes 21.9% to the implementation of the Digital traceability  system, while the rest is determined by other factors that were not researched. These findings confirm that public trust is an important element in encouraging acceptance of digital technology, especially in the halal industry which relies heavily on transparency and consumer confidence. Thus, implementing a Digital traceability  system that is supported by information openness and easy access to technology can be an effective strategy to strengthen consumer trust while expanding technology adoption.

The increase in internet users in Indonesia presents a significant opportunity for business actors to market products through digital marketing, which allows transactions anytime and anywhere and influences purchasing decisions through complete and real-time product information. In addition, impulsive buying behavior, especially in areas like Ponorogo, which is rich in quality rice products with attractive discounts, also contributes to increased sales, impacting customer satisfaction, loyalty, and long-term customer value. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of digital marketing, product information, and impulse buying on purchasing decisions, as well as the ability of purchasing decisions to mediate the effect of digital marketing, product information, and impulse buying on marketing performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a research sample of 104 respondents who are consumers of rice products in the Legi Ponorogo market. The data collection technique employed a questionnaire distributed online. The data analysis technique used is SEM PLS. The results of the study indicate that digital marketing and product information affect purchasing decisions, whereas impulse buying does not affect purchasing decisions. Furthermore, purchasing decisions have an impact on marketing performance. The results of the indirect effect show that purchasing decisions mediate the influence of digital marketing and product information on marketing performance, while purchasing decisions do not mediate the influence of impulse buying on purchasing decisions.

This study aims to analyze the influence of a halal lifestyle on consumer preferences in selecting Sharia-compliant retail products. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review method, reviewing various empirical and conceptual studies published between 2017 and 2025. The analysis focused on the relationship between halal awareness, religiosity, ethical consumption values, and Muslim consumer behavior in making choices about Sharia-compliant retail products and services. The results indicate that a halal lifestyle is viewed not only as a form of compliance with Islamic law but also as a social identity and a modern consumption pattern that influences consumer purchasing decisions. Consumers with high levels of halal awareness and religiosity tend to have a greater preference for Sharia-compliant retail products that guarantee halal certification, quality, transparency, and ethical values ​​in their business processes. Furthermore, trust, Islamic brand image, and marketing strategies based on Islamic values ​​contribute to strengthening consumer loyalty to Sharia-compliant retail. This research provides managerial implications for Sharia-compliant retail businesses to develop innovative, educational, and tailored marketing strategies to meet the halal lifestyle needs of modern Muslims.

The concrete block business is one of the micro-enterprises that develops in Wairotang Village and plays an important role in fulfilling the community’s need for building materials. However, in its development, sales fluctuate from year to year, which is assumed to be influenced by the level of consumer trust and the quality of the products produced. In addition, several problems still occur, such as concrete blocks that crack easily, inconsistent sizes, and varying levels of strength, leading consumers to hesitate in making repeat purchases. This study aimed to determine the influence of consumer trust and product quality on purchasing decisions of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village. The independent variables in this study were consumer trust and product quality, while the dependent variable was purchasing decision. This study was motivated by fluctuations in concrete block sales and the persistence of consumer doubts regarding product quality, including easily cracked blocks, inconsistent sizes, and varying strength levels. These conditions resulted in suboptimal consumer trust, which in turn affected purchasing decisions. This study used a quantitative research method. The population consisted of consumers of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village, and the sampling technique was purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination ($\text{R}^2$). The results were expected to show that consumer trust and product quality have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village, both partially and simultaneously. A higher level of consumer trust and better product quality lead to increased purchasing decisions. Therefore, concrete block business actors will need to maintain product quality and build good relationships with consumers in order to improve purchasing decisions and ensure business sustainability.

This study aims to analyze the effect of product bundling strategies, countdown timer urgency, and social proof on the interactive responses of Generation Alpha consumers toward Scora skincare products in Bandar Lampung, with live streaming as a moderating variable. Interactive responses in this study include comments, questions, likes, and purchase actions during live streaming sessions. This research employs a quantitative approach, with data collected through ques-tionnaires.

This study is expected to provide practical insights for local skincare brands in developing more effective digital marketing strategies through live streaming commerce.
