INTRODUCTION The cosmetics and skincare industry in Indonesia has continued to grow rapidly in recent So that in recent years in Indonesia a variety of beauty product brands have emerged, especially skin care products, body care products, and body spa products (Sidabutar & Dharmayanti. This is in the increasingly competitive beauty industry, especially in the skincare section, companies are able to understand the factors that influence customer loyalty as part of brand sustainability and growth. Wardah skincare is a beauty product brand produced by one of the largest cosmetic manufacturing companies in Indonesia. PT Paragon Technology and Innovation. Wardah has received a halal certificate from LPPOM MUI, which makes it a pioneer of halal brands of beauty products in Indonesia. Based on data on the top brands of facial moisturizers in Indonesia in garnier occupies the most superior top brand in 2023 while Wardah is in position number 3 with a percentage of 15. This indicates that customer loyalty to Wardah's facial moisturizer has not reached the maximum top brand so it is not in a superior position. According to Barbosa et al. , . customer loyalty is a firmly held commitment to repurchase or reuse the selected product or service consistently in the future. Efforts to build consumer loyalty can be done through various approaches, one of which is by utilizing consumer experience while interacting with the brand. According to Kotler and Keller in Malki et al. , . customer satisfaction is considered as a customer assessment of the perceived performance of a product or service in accordance with customer expectations, as well as the level of satisfaction obtained from consumption-related Alkufahy et al, . state a positive effect between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty given the important role of creating satisfied customers to increase loyalty to the company's Perceived value is a comparison between the benefits obtained and the sacrifices made by consumers to obtain a product (Aditi, n. Khasbulloh & Suparna . states that perceived value has a relationship with customer loyalty. The higher the value that consumers feel for a product, seen from the level of product quality and the feeling of pleasure in consumers, it will https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity. The Effect Of Brand Experience And Perceived Value On Customer Loyalty Dimediated By Customer Satisfaction On Wardah Skincare increase customer loyalty to the brand. According to Fonda et al. , . said that brand experience has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. Loyal customers are customers who have a good experience in shopping or consuming products. Brand experience is the result of stimuli that trigger customer enthusiasm and pleasure, thus customers will be encouraged to repeat the experience regularly from time to time (Mostafa & Kasamani, 2. However, in research conducted by Nugroho & Suprapti, . stated that brand experience has no positive and significant relationship with customer loyalty, resulting in inconsistent research results. With the increasing number of skincare products emerging in Indonesia, of course, it makes companies think about how their consumers can still stick to Wardah skincare products. So the problem in this study is, whether brand experience and perceived value have an effect on customer loyalty and customer satisfaction. And is customer satisfaction able to mediate brand experience and perceived value on customer loyalty? Theoritical Basis 1 Brand Experience Definition Brand experience is a reaction and response to a brand that arises as a form of stimulation from the first interaction between customers and a brand that creates perceptions about the brand (Putra & Keni, 2. According to Huaman-Ramirez & Merunka, . brand experience refers to four indicators, namely: Sensory. Sensory brand experience involves the influence of the senses through explanation of the brand such as sight, taste, smell, sound and touch. Affective. Affective brand experience includes the inner feelings and emotions generated when interacting with the brand. Intellectual. Intellectual brand experience involves the emergence of consumer imagination thoughts stimulated by the brand. Behavioral. Behavior-based brand experience refers to physical actions that represent the use of the body to complete activities triggered by specific brand stimuli. 2 Perceived Value Definition Perceived value is defined as the customer's overall assessment of the satisfaction of a retailer's product or service based on the perceived benefits and costs incurred (Menidjel & Bilgihan. According to Meeprom & Silanoi, . perceived value refers to four indicators. Functional Value, which is the benefit obtained from a product or service, which is related to its performance, usability and quality. Price/Value for Money, which is a concept that assesses how well a product or service provides benefits relative to the costs incurred. Emotional Value, namely the perceived benefits of feelings or emotions that arise as a result of consuming a product. Social Value, which is the benefit generated by products/services that not only meet individual needs, but also have a positive impact on consumer society. 3 Customer Loyalty Definition Customer loyalty can be defined as a customer's promise to buy a product or service regularly, ignore competitor innovations, and not intend to switch actions that result in a long-term relationship between the customer and the company (Sudiyono et al. , 2. According to Yushar et al. customer loyalty has three indicators including: Repurchase of the brand is important evidence of customer loyalty and can benefit the company in the long run through increased sales and brand reputation. Brand consumption behavior refers to the choices and decisions made by customers regarding the choice, purchase and use of a particular brand. Belief that the brand is the best, namely when customers believe that the products or services offered by the brand have superior quality compared to competitors. https://equity. id/index. php/equity 33019/equity. The Effect Of Brand Experience And Perceived Value On Customer Loyalty Dimediated By Customer Satisfaction On Wardah Skincare 4 Customer Satisfaction Definition According to Ginting et al. , . customer satisfaction is what makes customers continue to use the product and recommend the product to others. Yushar et al. , . state that customer satisfaction has three indicators including: Expectation conformity is the conformity between the assessment of the services provided by the company and the expectations and perceptions of customers. Interest in revisiting is an encouragement for customers to return to using a product after a previous experience. Willingness to recommend, namely when customers have a positive experience with an item or service, they will be motivated to recommend it to others. METHOD 1 Research Method This study uses a quantitative approach and utilises primary data. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and data analysis using SPSS. 2 Population. Sample. Sampling Techniques The population of this study is customers who have used Wardah Skincare. The determination of samples is based on several criteria, namely: Female aged 17 years and above and have used Wardah Skincare products. This study determined the number of samples using the formula Hair et al. , . This formula is used because the population is unknown. So that the number of samples obtained from the indicator is multiplied by a minimum sample size of 5 to 10, the maximum number of samples for this study is as follows: Sample = . = 140 respondents. 3 Data Analysis Techniques Descriptive analysis is a research technique used to collect relevant data, then compile, process, and analyse the data to provide an overview of the problem being discussed. In this study, quantitative descriptive is used because it uses size, quantity or frequency (Sugiyono, 2. and a Sobel test to find out whether a relationship that goes through a mediation variable . ustomer satisfactio. is significantly capable of being a mediator in the relationship. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1 Results Validity test The validity test is used to measure whether a questionnaire is valid or not. A questionnaire is said to be valid if the questions on the questionnaire are able to reveal something that the questionnaire will measure. The test is carried out by comparing the calculated r value with the r table for degree of freedom . =n-2, in this case n is the number of samples and alpha = 0. Table 1.
