Purchase Decision Purchasing decision, is the selection of two or more alternative purchasing decision choices, which means that someone can make a decision, there must be several alternative The decision to buy can lead to how the decision-making process is carried out (Schiffman and Kanuk, 2009: . This is in line with (Sumarwan, 2011: . explaining that a purchase decision is a decision as the selection of an action from two or more alternative choices.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 Brand Image Brand image is a perception that is relatively consistent in the long term, so it is not easy to form an image, and once an image is formed it will be difficult to change it.

Consumers who have a positive image of a brand are more likely to make purchases (Setiadi, 2003: .

Furthermore, it is discussed in depth in the section entitled "Related Literature" or literature review ("Review of Literature"), as a basis for the formulation of hypotheses and will then become the basis for making comparisons with the results or findings revealed in the research (Ali & Limakrisna, 2.
