The construction industry has not been an early adopter of social media and digital marketing, due largely to lack of knowledge of and skills in these areas. Nevertheless, effectively deployed, digital and social media marketing can be a disruptive force allowing smaller residential construction companies to build brand awareness and win business from larger competitors. This study uses a qualitative approach - interviews with residential construction small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and adjacent industry actors - to obtain data addressing the key questions of the residential construction sector SMES' digital marketing attitudes and capabilities; whether digital and social media marketing is as or more effective than traditional marketing strategies; and the challenges facing SMEs in making effective use of digital marketing strategies. The findings confirm widespread recognition of the value of digital marketing strategies among SMEs but reveal that uptake and effective use of digital marketing is undermined by deficiencies in external environment analysis and a lack of the investment and training needed to plan, monitor and maintain effective and up-to-date marketing mixes, strategies and objectives. Based on the findings, recommendations are offered for improving residential construction SMEs’ uptake and effective use of digital and social media marketing.

The shipping services studied specifically for domestic shipments consisted of J&T, JNE, TlKl, Wahana, SiCepat, ID Express, and Pos Indonesia using perception data through questionnaires. Respondents have at least used delivery services twice. Determination of the number of respondents using the maximum likelihood technique. The tool used in this research is Structural Equation Modeling. The results of this study indicate that the variables of logistics service quality and social media marketing have a positive and significant effect on usage decisions. The relationship between brand image and usage decisions cannot be proven because there is multicollinearity, which causes this variable to be excluded from the study. The equation of the relationship model of exogenous variables on the use and customer satisfaction of expedition services without using the brand image variable is as follows, Y2 = 0.371X1 + 0.482X3.
