Marketing Analysis of Barbershop Services to Enhance Competitiveness in UMKM Barbershop Sultan Kotamobagu
Abstract
This study aims to analyze digital marketing strategies and service quality improvements to enhance the competitiveness of Barbershop Sultan in Kotamobagu, North Sulawesi. A qualitative method was employed through in-depth interviews with the barbershop owner and staff to gain insights into their operations and marketing strategies. The results show that social media, particularly Facebook and Tiktok, effectively increased brand visibility and customer engagement. Digital promotions, such as loyalty programs and discounts, successfully attracted new customers and increased repeat visits. Additionally, service quality improvements, including barber skills, cleanliness, and friendly interactions, contributed to building customer loyalty. Satisfied customers were more likely to recommend the service to others, strengthening Barbershop Sultan's position in the local market. In conclusion, the combination of digital marketing and service quality enhancement has proven effective in boosting Barbershop Sultan's competitiveness. This study contributes to the literature on MSMEs in the service sector and recommends further studies on other barbershops to broaden the generalizability of the findings.
