Abstract

The retail segment has the largest contribution to the total net sales value of Kimia Farma Group, which is run by the company's subsidiary, PT Kimia Farma Apotek (KFA). Kimia Farma's retail segment is experiencing a relatively non-ideal revenue trend from 2017 to 2022. The main challenges faced are the purchasing power of the community, the increasingly fierce level of competition, and risks related to customer loyalty. Based on this background, this study aims to examine the effect of Kimia Farma's image and product attributes on customer loyalty, both directly and indirectly through customer satisfaction. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach at the Kimia Farma Pharmacy in Bandung, with the unit of observation being Kimia Farma pharmacy customers in Bandung City. The sample was 235 respondents, who were taken using the Multistage Random Sampling technique. Structural Equation Modeling was used to conduct causality analysis. The results revealed that: Kimia Farma's image and product attributes play a role in shaping customer satisfaction, but have no direct impact in creating customer loyalty; customer satisfaction plays a role in creating customer loyalty; customer satisfaction mediates the effect of Kimia Farma's image and product attributes on customer loyalty; product attributes have a greater role than Kimia Farma’s image in encouraging customer satisfaction which will create customer loyalty. This research provides managerial benefits for increasing customer loyalty at Kimia Farma Pharmacy in Bandung City, by increasing customer satisfaction, which is supported by the development of product attributes and the image of Kimia Farma. Key Words:Image, Product Attributes, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Loyalty, Pharmacy
