The validity test uses the loading factor value, while the reliability test uses the Cronbach's alpha value, composite reliability, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE). After all, the results of the indicator items used in this study were valid and reliable; then, the hypothesis was tested. Of the five hypotheses proposed, all are supported, but the fifth hypothesis is not significant. The conclusion of this study is the importance of maintaining the right quality products and services to get good consumer reviews. Besides that, it is also essential to maintain the brand community to continue to believe and make purchase decisions.
