Abstract :

Tokopedia is offering merchants a new feature called packaged subscriptions. However, there is evidence of low sales for these paid features. This study creates a marketing proposition to solve this problem with low-purchase packages. The purpose of this study is to identify the top reasons for unwillingness to pay, identify the key factors that motivate sellers to purchase, and identify appropriate strategies to motivate sellers to pay for packaged subscriptions. This research utilizes Triangulation method consisting of internal, external and qualitative analysis to determine that the main drivers of sellers’ purchase intention were price and information quality factors. The study uses the company’s industry environment, competitors, company capabilities, and the user’s analysis to generate recommendations using the QSPM matrix. The most pertinent recommendation is to offer a free trial program and scheduled in-app notifications to boost the seller’s intent to purchase the subscription package.
