STUDI TENTANG EFEKTIVITAS IKLAN DAN EKUITAS MEREK UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEPUTUSAN PEMBELIAN KONSUMEN SABUN LUX DI JAWA TENGAH
Abstract
Persaingan pasar barang konsumsi dewasa ini sangat ketat. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan oleh perusahaan di dalam memasarkan produknya. Sabun LUX yang merupakan produk andalan bagi PT Unilever telah mengalami penurunan kinerja pemasarannya yang terlihat dari menurunnya Top Brand Index, Brand Share dan Top of Mind selama tiga tahun (2012-2014). Kalau keadaan ini terus berlangsung maka akan memperlemah posisi merek di pasar dan akan menurunkan kinerja perusahaan. Studi ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis pengaruh efektivitas iklan dan ekuitas merek (Brand Equity) terhadap keputusan pembelian dalam rangka meningkatkan kembali kinerja pemasarannya. Dengan menggunakan data dari 192 responden, delapan hipotesis diuji melalui analisis Structural Eqation Model (SEM).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keputusan konsumen untuk membeli dipengaruhi oleh minat beli. Minat beli konsumen akan meningkat apabila iklan yang efektif dilakukan melalui peningkatan Ekuitas Merek. Iklan bisa efektif apabila mempunyai daya tarik yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, perusahaan disarankan untuk bisa meningkatkan daya tarik iklannya sehingga iklan tersebut efektif. Dengan iklan yang efektif akan meningkatkan minat beli konsumen yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan keputusan pembelian.
