Within the framework of marketing management theory, promotion and service quality occupy an essential position as instruments to build customer satisfaction.

However, the implementation of these strategies often encounters obstacles, ranging from inconsistent service delivery to the suboptimal utilization of promotional media in fostering effective interactions with consumers. Sales data of Toko Sribu Dinar in 2024 show a fluctuating pattern, with a significant increase in August followed by a sharp decline in the subsequent months. This condition indicates weaknesses in maintaining a stable sales trend, despite the implementation of competitive pricing strategies and digital promotions. Such circumstances suggest that customer satisfaction has not been fully achieved, leaving consumer loyalty vulnerable to shifting toward competitors. In this context, analyzing the influence of promotion and service quality on customer satisfaction becomes highly relevant. The application of marketing management theories, such as the 4Ps of the marketing mixAiprice, product, place, and promotionAias well as the concept of service quality, can serve as a critical framework for understanding the extent to which these variables contribute to consumer satisfaction. The issues that arise include the effectiveness of digital promotion in enhancing customer appeal, the consistency of services delivered by staff, and the extent to which customer satisfaction can drive repeat purchases and foster long-term loyalty. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of promotion and service quality on customer satisfaction at Toko Sribu Dinar, identify the challenges encountered in the implementation of marketing strategies, and formulate strategic recommendations for the business owner to achieve more stable sales growth, higher customer satisfaction, and sustainable METHOD This study employed a quantitative survey approach to examine the influence of promotion and service quality on customer satisfaction at Toko Sribu Dinar. The sample consisted of 97 respondents, determined using the Lemeshow formula since the total population was unknown. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling with criteria that respondents had made at least one purchase and had direct experience with the storeAos promotion and service. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire with five response options, covering the variables of promotion (X. , service quality (X. , and customer satisfaction (Y). Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of statistical software. Prior to regression testing, the instrument was tested for validity and reliability, and classical assumption tests were performed, including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests. The t-test was applied to examine the partial effects, the F-test to assess the simultaneous effects, and the coefficient of determination (RA) to measure the extent to which promotion and service quality contribute to customer satisfaction. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Results The research instrument was tested for validity and reliability, and all items were found to be valid and reliable. Classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity, confirmed that the regression model met the necessary statistical requirements. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Results of Multiple Linear Regression Analysis Variable Coefficient (B) t-value Sig.

The F-test result shows a significance value of 0. 001 (< 0. indicating that promotion and service quality simultaneously affect customer satisfaction. The coefficient of determination (RA) of 0. 139 indicates that 13. 9% of the variation in customer satisfaction can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors outside this study. Discussion The findings of this study indicate that promotion has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction at Toko Sribu Dinar. Promotion plays an important role in enhancing customer satisfaction as it successfully attracts consumer attention and provides added value. The promotional strategies implemented by the store include price discounts, daily offers, purchase bonuses, and product information distributed through social media. These efforts directly increase customer satisfaction because consumers perceive tangible benefits from the promotions offered. In contrast, service quality was found to have no significant effect on customer satisfaction. This result can be explained by the nature of Toko Sribu Dinar as a staple goods retail business, where customers tend to prioritize factors such as price competitiveness, product availability, and shopping efficiency rather than service experience. In addition, the respondentsAo answers revealed that the indicators related to speed of service and employee friendliness received relatively lower scores compared to other indicators. This suggests that some customers still consider the services provided to be less than optimal. Such conditions are understandable, as Toko Sribu Dinar is still in the early stages of recruiting employees. Limited recruitment and training processes, along with employee turnover, have led to unstable service performance. Staff who are still in a trial period and the frequent replacement of employees have caused fluctuations in service quality. Consequently, even though basic services such as responsive cashiers, polite employees, and store cleanliness are already fulfilled, further improvements in service quality do not significantly influence customer satisfaction. Simultaneous testing using the F-test showed that promotion and service quality together have a significant effect on customer satisfaction, although the contribution is relatively small. The coefficient of determination (RA) of 0. 068 indicates that most of the variation in customer satisfaction is explained by other factors outside promotion and service quality, such as product pricing, shopping convenience, and store location. Although service quality did not have a significant partial effect, it still made a minor contribution when combined with promotion in the Overall, these findings demonstrate that customer satisfaction at Toko Sribu Dinar is primarily driven by promotional activities, while service quality serves only as a supporting factor. Therefore, business strategies should place greater emphasis on strengthening promotional efforts while maintaining basic service standards that align with customer expectations. CONCLUSION This study concludes that promotion has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction at Toko Sribu Dinar through strategies such as discounts, price reductions, and special In contrast, service quality does not significantly affect satisfaction, as customers in staple goods retail prioritize price and product availability and consider the current service sufficient. Simultaneously, promotion and service quality influence customer satisfaction, but their contribution is relatively small at 6. 8%, indicating that most satisfaction is influenced by other factors outside this study.
