Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the AISAS model (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, Share) in the WhatsApp Marketing strategy of Raja Kurma Bengkulu, an MSME engaged in the trade of dates, Hajj/Umrah souvenirs, and Middle Eastern specialty products. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with the business owner, marketing manager, sales staff, and active customers; participant observation; and document analysis. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify strategies implemented at each AISAS stage. The findings reveal that at the Attention stage, seasonal-themed broadcast messages and visually engaging content effectively increased brand awareness and message open rates. The Interest stage leveraged bundled offers, limited-time promotions, and personalized communication to strengthen customer engagement. The Search stage provided comprehensive information through product catalogs, testimonials, and rapid responses, which built trust and reduced hesitation. The Action stage simplified the purchasing process with click-to-order features, flexible payment options including COD, and fast delivery, resulting in higher conversions. Finally, the Share stage encouraged organic promotion through user-generated content, referral incentives, and community building, fostering customer loyalty and repeat purchases. Overall, the integration of AISAS in WhatsApp Marketing has proven effective in increasing customer engagement, strengthening consumer trust, and enhancing sales conversions. These results provide both theoretical contributions to digital marketing literature and practical recommendations for MSMEs to implement structured and sustainable marketing strategies in the digital era.
