Indonesia ARTICLE INFO Abstract Article History: Sumbmitted: 23 April 2025 The study aims to analyze the effect of price, brand experience, delivery speed, customer reviews, and content creators on TikTok consumer loyalty in Sumenep City. The research approach is quantitative with the Structural Equation Modeling (SMART-PLS) path analysis method. Data collection techniques use questionnaires with Google Form techniques. The sample in this study amounted to 96 respondents using the Lemeshow formula. The sampling technique was non-probability sampling with an accidental sampling approach. The results showed that the variables consisting of. brand experience, delivery speed, customer review, and creator content have a significant influence on consumer loyalty. Price, brand experience, delivery speed, and customer reviews have a strong positive influence on loyalty, and creator content is also proven to make a significant contribution to consumer The mediation analysis results show that content creators play a partial moderating role in the relationship between price and delivery speed with consumer loyalty but do not play a moderating role in the relationship between brand experience and loyalty. These findings provide new insights into the factors that shape consumer loyalty on social media platforms such as TikTok Shop, as well as the strategic role of content creators in building emotional connections.

One of TikTok's advantages is its ability to reach a wider audience quickly, thanks to sophisticated algorithms that promote content based on users' interests (Zhou, 2. This is in line with research Sun & Zhang . conveyed that TikTok facilitates a more personalized and diverse marketing approach. (Wiwarottami & Widyatama, 2. in their research TikTok features Based on the results of previous research, it provides insight for researchers to further research related to price, brand experience, delivery speed, and consumer loyalty. This finding is in line with the results of research (Azmi & Kusumasari, 2024. Andika & Purnamasari, 2. which reveals that competitive prices and a positive brand experience will increase customer loyalty. The results of an empirical study by Mamonto et al. , . state that competitive and transparent prices are key factors in purchasing decisions, where consumers show high loyalty to brands that offer value as expected. Wibowo, . argues that consumers tend to be loyal to brands that offer prices in accordance with the perceptions received. Brand experience is also a determining factor in building consumer loyalty. This is stated in the research Iman & Kurniawati, . sensory, affective and intellectual aspects can create a strong emotional bond between consumers and brands. This statement is reinforced by the results of research Estella & Handono, . showing that consumers tend to make purchases again when they have a positive experience with the brand, either through direct interaction or impressions embedded in memory. Aina Mardhiyah & Tri Astuti, . emphasizes that a positive brand experience can increase consumer affection and commitment to a particular brand. Brand experience is defined as a series of consumer impressions formed through interactions with the INTRODUCTION Social media has become an integral part of the daily life of modern society. The rapid development of the times accompanied by the increasing number of new social media that have emerged has made social media an important element in various aspects of life (Tepavicharova & Dikova, 2. Dependence on social media, especially in Indonesia, can be said to have become a widespread phenomenon (Aulia et al. , 2. lot of free time is spent surfing social media, both for entertainment, communication, and other Based on the results of the Databoks survey in 2024 the number of users on social media in Indonesia has reached 191 million users or 7% of the total population. Based on this data, 167 million active users are equivalent to 3% of the population. Internet penetration in Indonesia is very high, reaching 242 million users, 4% of the population. The most popular social media platforms in Indonesia include Youtube with 139 million users . 8%). Instagram with 122 million users . 3%). Facebook with 118 million users . 9%). Whatsapp with 116 million users . 2%), and TikTok with 89 million users . 7%). In terms of demographics, social media users in Indonesia are dominated by the 18-34 age group, which accounts for 54. 1% of the total users. Based on gender, women dominate with a percentage of On average. Indonesians spend 3 hours and 14 minutes per day accessing social media, with 81% of them using it daily. Activities carried out on social media also vary, ranging from sharing photos and videos . %), communication . %), finding news and information . %), entertainment . %), to online shopping . %). Seeing the paradigm and consumer preferences from this data, it is very clear that the social media that is getting special attention is TikTok. TikTok is not only an entertainment medium, but a strategic platform in building close relationships between brands and consumers through creator content (Wang, 2024. The Influence of Price. Brand Experience, and Speed Delivery on Consumer Loyalty Mediated by Customer Review and Moderated by Content Creators on Tik Tok Consumers in Sumenep City brand, either through product design, service, or marketing communication (Firman & Saldino, 2. Delivery speed plays a very important role in influencing consumer loyalty, especially in the digital era where consumers want fast and efficient Research by Siahaan et al. , . reveals that consistent delivery speed can increase consumer confidence which in turn encourages repeat purchases. Jati, . in his research proves that delivery speed not only affects consumer satisfaction but also strengthens repeat purchase Febriani, . delivery delays are one of the main reasons consumers switch to competing Therefore, companies need to ensure that their logistics and distribution strategies are not only efficient, but also able to meet consumer expectations for service speed. Maslikhan et al. argue that companies that are able to provide a fast and predictable delivery experience will have a greater chance of winning consumer loyalty in an increasingly competitive market. Based on a review of previous empirical studies, there are still gaps in research results . eserach ga. and inconsistencies in findings, especially regarding the effect of price on consumer For example, research conducted by ( Ainul Kevin, 2024. Fadli & Rubiyanti, 2. concluded that price does not significantly affect loyalty, contrary to the findings of (Azmi & Kusumasari, 2. which proves otherwise. The inconsistency in research results provides theoretical justification for researchers to re-examine the relationship between these variables while enriching the novelty of research through customer review variables as moderating variables that have not been integrated in similar cases. Furthermore, testing the role of content creators as a mediating variable. This refers to the findings of Nurcahyadi, . found that trust in creator content significantly affects consumer loyalty. Reinforced by research Setiawan & Safitri, . which found that creator content is able to shape consumer perceptions related to product quality, thus having an indirect impact on Melita, . states that this profession is not just creating ordinary content, but also acts as part of a digital marketing strategy. As for the role of customer review as moderation, research by Seliana et al. , . has a positive and significant influence on customer loyalty. The more positive reviews a product or service receives, the more likely consumers are to remain loyal and make repeat purchases. Setyaningrum, . shows that online reviews serve as a source of information that influences consumer perceptions of products or services. Asri et al. , . positive reviews strengthen consumers on the product because the consistency of the message creates confirmation bias. The existence of positive reviews encouraging purchase interest (Kamisa et al. , 2. According to Ramadhani et al. , . online customer review indicators can be classified into three dimensions: . Attractiveness. related to social values such as background or personality similarities between reviewers and readers, . Trust. includes honesty, integrity, and reliability of reviews, . Expertise. refers to the competence and experience of the review author in assessing the Based on the explanation above, the research will focus on the effect of price on consumer loyalty, brand experience on loyalty, delivery speed on loyalty, content creators mediate the relationship between price, brand experience and delivery speed on consumer loyalty, online customers moderate the relationship between price, brand experience and delivery speed on consumer loyalty. The research model that will be developed by researchers based on a review of previous studies and theoretical reviews will be presented in Figure Journal of Management and Business Studies Vol. 2025: 38 - 54 Figure. 1 Conceptual framework Source: Modified from the Results of Previous Research METHOD The validity test is carried out with two techniques, namely convergent validity and discriminant validity. This convergent validity test is conducted to measure the correlation between concepts and latent variables. If the correlation value is above 0. 7, then the correlation is considered effective. Meanwhile, discriminant validity can be considered good if the AVE (Average Variance Extracte. value is higher than the correlation value between concepts, which is> Reliability testing is carried out using two methods, namely Cronbach's Alpha is the coefficient used to determine the internal consistency or reliability of the questionnaire and measurement scale.

The population in this study are consumers in Sumenep City who have used the Tik Tok application and the population size in this study is not known with certainty . nfinite populatio. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling which does not provide equal opportunities for all members of the population to be selected. Specifically, this research applies the accidental sampling method, where respondents are selected based on their availability in certain locations relevant to the research context. The research sample calculation used Lemeshow's formula with a margin of error of 10% (Lemeshow et al. , . 1 Oe . 1 Oe 0. = 96 Responden Based on the results of the above calculations, the number of samples obtained after analysis was obtained 96 respondents The data collection technique in the study was a questionnaire survey distributed via Google Forms to Tik Tok users in Sumenep City. This study uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method to test and analyze data. According to Sholihin and Dwi . SEM is an analytical method that uses statistics to test the relationship between several research models This analysis method was carried out using SmartPLS software.
