Using a quantitative approach, the research involved 30 randomly selected respondents from the local population. The findings indicate that while innovation is important for creating competitive advantages, it does not have a significant impact on consumer purchasing power. In contrast, marketing strategy has been shown to have a significant effect, suggesting that effective marketing approaches can enhance consumer experience and satisfaction. Consumer purchasing power is influenced by various factors, including economic conditions and community habits. These findings emphasize the importance of appropriate marketing strategies in enhancing purchasing power, while innovation must still be pursued to remain competitive in an increasingly tight market.

Introduction The consumption patterns of the Indonesian populace are not significantly influenced by the segmentation of the economy. This fact, whether accurate or not, contributes to the country's economic growth. Indonesia's diverse business sector, which varies in type and level of sophistication, provides consumers with a wide range of options, allowing them to make choices based on their needs and capabilities. For example, in the clothing sector, some customers are willing to pay a premium for high-quality, branded goods, while others may not be willing to invest as much in such products. Additionally, some consumers may only be inclined to pay lower prices and may not prioritize branded or high-quality items. Micro. Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) play a crucial role in the national economy and are strategically positioned to contribute to a more balanced, mature, and stable economic environment. To achieve this goal, domestic economics must be supported by social economics, promoting a competitive, fair, reliable, accountable, and transparent economic system in both domestic and international markets (M.

The diverse occupations within the community support the existing economic momentum, particularly in Dharmasraya Regency, which is the focus of this research (Alfon Tuhoni Zebua1 2.

Businesses that are prevalent in Indonesia and can survive economic crises are Micro. Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). UMKM are closely related to the community and have a significant impact, acting as one of the drivers of the economy. Therefore, they are a focus of development programs designed by the government to continue to advance and grow. UMKM operate in various sectors, including culinary . ood and beverage. , fashion, agribusiness, handicrafts, electronics, furniture, small shops, and daily stalls, among others. They typically have limited capital sourced from the owners. The resilience and ongoing growth of UMKM can serve as a driving force for building and enhancing the national economy. This can be seen from the advantages of UMKM: first, they easily adapt to market fluctuations and demand, making them quite flexible. Second, they can significantly contribute to exports and trade due to their wide diversity. Third, they can quickly create job opportunities compared to other business sectors. In Dharmasraya Regency, efforts are being made to implement effective and efficient UMKM operations (Arsya n. Literature Reviwe Based on the research conducted by (M. Fathrezza Imani.

An increase or decrease in purchasing power is indicated by changes in consumer behavior. Purchasing power increases when it is higher compared to previous periods, while a decrease can be identified when consumers have less ability to buy compared to earlier periods.

The positivist philosophy views reality, symptoms, and phenomena as categorical, relatively stable, real, observable, and measurable. The population consists of the entire community of Dharmasraya Regency, and the sample is taken using Slovin's technique, which includes 30 respondents representing the entire population(Adolph 2.
