The higher the quality of the website, the greater the number of website users.With an increase in website users, there is an impact on purchasing decisions (Huda et al ., 2021).
Moreover, as part of a comprehensive marketing strategy, content marketing involves the deliberate creation of compelling materials.This deliberate approach is designed to captivate the audience's attention, fostering a connection that goes beyond mere engagement.In essence, by consistently delivering valuable and relevant content, businesses can position themselves as authoritative figures in their respective industries.
Consequently, this authority not only attracts a wider audience but also significantly contributes to influencing potential consumers to make informed purchasing decisions.Huda., et al (2021) content marketing involves strategically planning, distributing, and crafting content that precisely targets the audience, enticing them to become customers.Rahman (2019), it was observed that content marketing has a favorable impact on the purchasing decisions of Caffe Go-Kopi consumers in Malang.On the other hand, Huda et al., (2021) revealed that content marketing does not have a significant impact on purchasing decisions in small and medium enterprises on social media.
Content in content marketing encompasses various forms such as photos, videos, audio, written material, and others.This strategy is widely employed by marketers as a tactic for acquiring consumers (Chairina et al., 2020).The symbiotic relationship between content marketing and purchasing decisions highlights the significance of strategically curated content in shaping consumer behavior and fostering a positive brand-consumer relationship.
Expanding on this concept, social media marketing involves the utilization of social media platforms as a medium for promoting goods, services, and even events.This strategic approach not only capitalizes on the widespread reach of social media but also leverages the interactive nature of these platforms to engage with a diverse audience effectively.
