Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Flash Sale promotions and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on the purchase decisions and customer satisfaction of Shopee platform users in Pekanbaru City. This study employed a quantitative method with a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using SmartPLS 4.0. The sample consisted of 140 respondents who were Shopee users in Pekanbaru City and had made at least one purchase. The results indicate that Flash Sale promotions and eWOM have a positive and significant impact on purchase decisions. Purchase decisions also have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. Additionally, purchase decisions significantly mediate the relationship between Flash Sale promotions, eWOM, and customer satisfaction. Thus, the more effective the Flash Sale promotions and the stronger the influence of eWOM, the higher the level of purchase decisions and customer satisfaction.
