Description
Summary:This research explores proposed digital marketing strategies to enhance the online customer journey of Arthomoro Cellular, a smartphone retail company located in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. The research was conducted due to a decline in sales over the past three years, particularly in online sales, which are significantly lower compared to major competitors such as Gadget Mart and Hape World. Through an in-depth analysis of the customer decision-making journey, both for online and offline shoppers, this study identifies several key factors influencing customer purchase decisions. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews with customers and company management, while secondary data was used for competitor analysis and PESTLE analysis. Based on the research findings, offline customers tend to be more distrustful of online purchases due to concerns about product authenticity, quality, and delivery reliability. Conversely, online customers show a higher level of trust, citing positive experiences with guarantees, return policies, and secure packaging. The PESTLE analysis indicates opportunities to support online sales growth through enhanced trustworthy content and integrated digital marketing strategies. The study proposes three main strategies: (1) enhancing trustworthy content to build customer trust; (2) creating an integrated digital marketing funnel across various social media and e-commerce platforms; and (3) implementing after-sales strategies to improve customer satisfaction. The research conclusions highlight the importance of building strong educational content and testimonials to increase trust in online purchases at Arthomoro Cellular. Additionally, comprehensive digital marketing strategies and efficient after-sales support are expected to enhance customer satisfaction and improve the company's online sales.
