  The increasingly fierce business competition causes producers to have a marketing strategy that can attract consumer buying interest. Cosmetic products are considered to have great potential, especially for halal cosmetic products. The concept of Islamic branding and the concept of marketing using celebrity endorsers is very attractive to consumers' buying interest. There is still a lack of consumer understanding about halal standards for a product, causing producers to have to provide clear information for the products to be sold. This study aims to determine the effect of Islamic branding, celebrity endorser and product knowledge on consumer purchasing decisions for Wardah cosmetics. The research method used is a quantitative method. The population in this study were students of the Faculty of Islamic Religion, Ibn Khaldun University, Bogor with a total sample of 88 respondents. The data analysis method used is SEM-PLS. The results showed that; 1) The Islamic branding variable has a positive but not significant effect on purchasing decisions, 2) The celebrity endorser variable and product knowledge have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Even though Wardah products already have a halal certificate and use muslimah advertising stars, they are still not enough to influence purchasing decisions. Wardah can improve marketing by adding more Islamic themes.

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p><br />Moslem consumers tend to choose products that are declared halal compared with products that have not been declared halal by the authorities. No exception in terms of cosmetic purchase. Cosmetics is one such purchase that emphasizes emotional engagement, so sometimes idol figures (celebrities) who become brand ambassadors in a cosmetic ad can stimulate purchases. Halal Label Relationships with Advertisements, Celebrity Endrosers, Brand Associations, and Purchase Decisions are how marketers create halal and certified products so that Muslim consumers feel protected to consume them. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect consumer purchasing decisions on Wardah cosmetic products. This type of research is explanatory with quantitative approach and survey method. The research location is in Malang Town Square with total sample of 57 respondents. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant influence among the variables studied.</p><p>Keyword: Halal Lable, Brand Asosiation, Ads, Celebrity Endroser, Purchase Decisions</p>

Empirically examines how certain variables influence the extent of external information search for banking services. The effects of perceived benefit, perceived cost, perceived risk, and perceived knowledge are tested within a proposed structural equation, cost‐benefit based Banking Services Model (BSM). Surveys a sample of 661 students at a major US university to gather data on their information search for banking services. The results reveal that the BSM provides a good fit to the data. Perceived benefit, cost and knowledge influence the extent of prepurchase bank information search. In addition, the consumers felt that it was more beneficial to obtain more information when there was a perceived benefit of lowering risk and when they already had some form of prior product knowledge. Implications of the BSM for services marketing management and consumer theory, limitations of the study, and future research are discussed.

Data in this study was collected by questionnaire. Applying non-probability convenience sampling, the study is conducted on 150 Banjarmasin citizens. The hypotheses are tested using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique by AMOS 18. The results indicate that customer relative preference for interpersonal information search is significantly influenced by consumers’ product knowledge, need for cognition, self-confidence, and informational susceptibility to interpersonal influence.  Consumer’s product knowledge also influenced their perceived risk, which did not affect their preference for interpersonal search significantly. Consumer’s self-confidence also did not affect their informational susceptibility to interpersonal influence.

Franchising has long been a method by which organizations seek to expand and facilitate local market development. However, franchising as a growth strategy can often be hampered by lack of suitable franchisees. To mitigate this shortage, some franchisors have engaged in recruiting franchisees internally from the ranks of their employees in addition to the traditional approach of recruiting franchisees externally. Predominantly franchisees are individuals rather than corporations and thus purchasing a franchise should most commonly be characterized as a consumer acquisition. To explore the relationship between subjective knowledge, perceived risk, and information search behaviors when purchasing a franchise qualitative interviews were conducted with franchisees from the restaurant industry. Half of these respondents were externally recruited having never worked for the franchisor and half were internally recruited having previously been employees of the franchisor. The external recruits expressed a strong desire to own their own business and engaged in extensive decision-making processes with significant information search when purchasing their franchises. Contrastingly, the internal recruits expressed a strong desire to be their own boss and engaged in limited, bordering on habitual decision-making processes with negligible information search when acquiring their franchises. The results reveal that differences in subjective knowledge and perceived risk appear to significantly impact the extent of information search between these two groups. A model of the relationship between subjective knowledge, perceived risk and information search in the purchasing of a franchise is developed that reconciles these findings. The findings also have practical implications for franchisors’ franchisee recruiting efforts which are integral to their capacity to develop local markets.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived risk and perceived value on customers’ intention to invest in Islamic Banks. This study specifically examines an Islamic bank’s term deposits. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected from 217 customers of an Islamic bank in Indonesia using an online survey. Findings This study highlights the central and dual roles of perceived risk as both the independent and the intervening variable that mediates the relationship between product knowledge and Muslim customer intention to invest in an Islamic bank’s term deposits. Research limitations/implications This study only investigates term deposits as one type of investment in Islamic banks. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived risk and perceived value on Muslim customer intention to invest in Islamic term deposits. Practical implications The results of this study highlight the requirement for Islamic banks to educate customers to improve the depositors’ product knowledge because Muslim customers’ risk and value perception and intention are strongly influenced by product knowledge. Originality/value The investigation of perceived risk is particularly relevant for Islamic financial products because of the inherent nature of risk sharing in Islamic finance. This study investigates the role of product knowledge in influencing the Muslim customers’ perception of risk, quality, value and their intention to invest in Islamic bank term deposits. Ideally, the profit loss sharing concept (PLS) should be applied; however, in this context, revenue sharing is applied because of Indonesia’s central bank regulation.
