One of the marketing strategies for attracting customers is to increase promotion. When the promotion we expect is in line with or exceeds our expectations, we will feel confident. conversely, when our expectations are unrealistic, we will be dissatisfied. Promotion, according to Abdullah . , is "the best strategic combination of variables advertising, personal selling, and other social media promotion tools, all of which are planned to achieve the sales program's Journal of Management https://myjournal. id/index. php/JOM E-ISSN: 3026-3239 Vol. No. July - December . , pp. 267- 276 " Every behavior that consumers engage in prior to making a purchase decision is to recognize and seek information about a good or service that they wish to purchase. Essentially, every business or company must carry out . that can provide convenience in obtaining information for consumers and potential consumers so that they can more easily make Furthermore, the development of technology is very rapid, which can provide great benefits for every business activist in the process.

Cafy Andju is one of the Cafes in Pangkajene Regency that serves many varieties of Japanese and Korean cuisine. It was started on July 7, 2022 by a local entrepreneur named Ricko. Because the Cafy follows trends that are in high demand by millennials today, such as how to serve food using a grill . ooking using a gadget that creates high temperatures with a short cooking tim. , it uses a marketing strategy that is timely. Based on the findings of their observations, researchers discovered phenomena or challenges that could discourage customers from making purchases at Cafy Andju, namely in terms of social media advertising. Whereas in conducting sales promotions. CafeAndju has used social media as a means of disseminating information such as (Instagram and WhatsAp. , researchers discovered that the Cafy is still relatively insufficient in reaching a wide target market, where the Cafy only relies on Instagram and WhatsApp instastory promotions, despite the fact that Journal of Management E-ISSN: 3026-3239 Vol. No. July - December . , pp. 267- 276 https://myjournal. id/index. php/JOM social media such as TikTok and Facebook have relatively many users. Further issues stem from the promotion of a list of food and food pricing that do not match those given on the brochure, and when viewing instastory lists promos, but when the customer queried one of the Cafy's employees, he stated that the food that had been posted did not have a promo period.

The reliability test findings in table 3 reveal that all items in the independent variable statement and the dependent variable have a Cronbach's alpha value greater than the standard Cronbach's alpha . , indicating that all variables proposed are reasonably reliable and Journal of Management https://myjournal. id/index. php/JOM E-ISSN: 3026-3239 Vol. No. July - December . , pp. 267- 276 In addition, multiple linear regression testing was used in this study to examine the association between the independent and dependent variables. The IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Scienc. software version 24 was utilized to analyze the data in this study. The following is a description of the study's data processing outcomes for several linear regression equations: Table 2.
