Abstract

This study examines the effect of promotion and product quality on purchasing decisions. One of Indonesia^s most popular smartphone products is experiencing a drastic decline in market share sales. This condition will not change if the pro-motion program and product quality are not improved. Smartphone products can be effectively promoted and marketed by mentioning product sophistication. Re-searchers used a descriptive quantitative method on 30 respondents online to obtain data on purchasing decisions in Indonesia. The data collection process for this study used a cross-sectional survey approach. The data collected was then analyzed with multiple regression methods using SPSS software. Based on the results of data analysis, there is a partial promotion effect on purchasing decisions. Furthermore, there is a partial effect of product quality on purchasing decisions. Finally, there is a simultaneous influence of promotion and product quality on purchasing decisions. After the variables are compared, the effect of product quality on purchase decisions is more significant than promotion. Thus, the pro-motion program^s efforts to improve the condition of purchasing decisions are more vital. Purchase decisions will increase with an effective promotion program. The weakness of this study is not testing the relationship between promotion and product quality.
