The development of digital or online transactions
also has an impact on the service industry sector
such as cinemas to keep abreast of advances with
the latest technological developments. One of the
service industry sectors that has recently become the
public spotlight is film and cinema. This industry
has had its ups and downs in its life. After a long
period of being dim and less attractive to the local
community and also due to the influence of the
Covid 19 pandemic, it turns out that in the last 3
years it has revived.
The development of the film industry encourages
the development of the number of competing
cinemas. This means that those cinemas must
actively market their service industries as public
facilities in line with the increasing number of
viewers. In Indonesia today, there are 5 types of
theaters including CGV Blitz, Cinemax, Platinum
Cineplex and the last one is Cinemax 21 Group. The
more types of cinemas that appear, the more
business competition among the cinemas in
question. Cinema entrepreneurs must develop
innovations in the products and services offered by
Cinemax21. Cinemax21 is the largest cinema group
in Indonesia which started its work in the
entertainment industry since 1987. More than 30
years, Cinemax21 is committed to always providing
the best viewing experience for Indonesians through
its marketing activities.
Along with advances in information technology,
Cinemax21 has begun to utilize information
technology to carry out various marketing activities.
Several online movie ticket purchase services are
made based on applications, namely TIX ID, M-
TIX, CGV Cinemas, and Book MyShow. Currently,
one of the applications participating in mobile
commerce that has the leading entertainment service
in Indonesia is the TIX ID application. TIX ID was
launched by PT. Nusantara Elang Sejahtera which
was released on March 21, 2018. TIX ID can
provide a new experience in purchasing cinema
tickets and strive to understand consumer
satisfaction. This application is not a card but an
account in the application that has been provided.
Consumers can immediately use the TIX ID
application to make it easier for viewers to buy
cinema tickets without the hassle of queuing and are
free to choose seats anywhere and anytime, as long
as supplies last.
TIX ID also offers many features that can be
accessed easily apart from purchasing cinema
tickets. For this reason, TIX ID provides a digital
wallet for various payment purposes. With this
payment model, it is easier for viewers to directly
make payments online using the balance on the
card. The TIX ID application is also very
aggressively promoting so that through various
innovations and marketing strategies, this
application can attract potential consumers to use it
more. One form of TIX ID promotion is the buy 1
get 1 free pattern every Wednesday. New TIX ID
users are given a 50% discount voucher at certain
times. Through such a marketing pattern, currently
TIX ID has high competitiveness against their
competitors. Thus, factors such as perceived
convenience, safety, buying interest are important
factors that need to be explored further.
On the basis of what has been described
previously, a study is needed on "the direct and
indirect effect of promotion, convenience and
security on the decision to purchase online cinema
tickets using the Tix Id application through purchase
intention".
2 Literature Review
2.1 Consumer Behavior
Consumer behavior, according to Mothersbaugh, et
al. [1], is defined as the activities immediately
engaged in the acquisition, consumption, and
disposal of goods and services, as well as the
decision processes that precede and follow these
acts. Accordingly, consumer behavior is defined as
"all activities, behaviors, and psychological
processes that drive these behaviors before to
buying, when purchasing, using, and spending items
and services after completing the items above, or
while assessing activities" [2]. Meanwhile, Kotler &
Armstrong [3] describes consumer behavior as the
purchasing habits of end consumers, including
individuals and families, who purchase goods for
personal use.
Consumer behavior might be defined as an
individual and household decision-making process
before purchase and behaviors in getting, using,
consuming, and disposing of things based on those
criteria.
2.2 FinTech Definition
The term fintech itself is an abbreviation of the
word financial technology, which means a company
that combines financial services with modern and
innovative technology. Financial Technology,
commonly known as FinTech, is a new financial
service model produced through information
technology innovation, according to Hsueh & Kuo
[4]. Financial Technology (FinTech) is a term that
refers to a mixture of technology and financial
aspects, or it may also refer to financial sector
innovation with a modern twist.
