E-Marketing Strategies to Increase Gen-Z Customer Loyalty (Case Study of Coffee Shop Because of Coffee in Jambi City)
Abstract
This study examines the implementation of e-marketing strategies and their impact on Gen Z customer loyalty at Karena Kopi in Jambi City. The research objective was to analyze digital marketing practices, customer loyalty levels, and the relationship between the two. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive case study design. The study population was Karena Kopi's Gen Z customers, while the sample included the owner, creative director, staff, and selected Gen Z consumers. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through pre-field analysis, in-field analysis, data reduction, and triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that Instagram and TikTok are the main platforms for building engagement, increasing brand awareness, and attracting customers through interactive content, community collaboration, and online promotions. Gen Z customers generally rate the content positively and demonstrate repeat purchase behavior and recommendations to others. In conclusion, e-marketing contributes positively to strengthening customer loyalty, especially when supported by consistent offline service quality and authentic digital communication
