Pulling The Strings Of Student Shoppers: How Service Quality, Pricing Power, And Promotional Strategy Shape Bukalapak’s Appeal Among Unri Management Undergraduates

Abstrak

Pertumbuhan pesat industri e-commerce di Indonesia telah memicu persaingan antar platform digital, termasuk Bukalapak, yang meskipun memiliki fitur layanan yang kompetitif, belum menunjukkan dominasi dalam preferensi konsumen muda. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh kualitas layanan, harga, dan promosi terhadap keputusan pembelian pengguna aplikasi Bukalapak di kalangan mahasiswa jurusan Manajemen Universitas Riau angkatan 2020. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan strategi studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier berganda dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa promosi memiliki pengaruh paling signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian, diikuti oleh kualitas layanan, sedangkan harga tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa efektivitas komunikasi promosi dan peningkatan kualitas pengalaman layanan digital merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi perilaku pembelian generasi muda, sementara pertimbangan harga tidak lagi menjadi faktor dominan. Kontribusi penelitian ini terletak pada pemahaman yang lebih kontekstual tentang preferensi pengguna e-commerce di kalangan mahasiswa, serta memperkaya literatur pemasaran digital dengan menyoroti pentingnya strategi pemasaran campuran berdasarkan segmen pengguna spesifik. Implikasi praktis dari temuan ini ditujukan kepada pengelola platform e-commerce lokal untuk memperkuat aspek layanan dan mengadopsi strategi promosi yang lebih adaptif di tengah dinamika pasar digital yang kompetitif.
