Digital marketing as a promotional medium to attract the attention and interest of
customers to buy the products offered. Promotion is an element of the marketing mix or
marketing mix that is interrelated (Afandi, 2018). The marketing mix has four elements:
product, promotion, place, and price. Promotion is communication between sellers and
buyers that comes from the right information. It aims to change the attitude and behavior
of buyers who previously did not know to know so that they become buyers and still
remember the product (Amri, Fatimah, & Inda, 2021). Promotion is a tool or activity
companies use to communicate customer value (Arrizqi, Rahmawati, & Roziq, 2022). A
good form and advertising model are needed for maximum results in promotional
activities. Advertising is a form of promotion that uses print media to communicate to
consumers, usually through banners, posters, etc. In another quote, it is said that good
promotion requires advertising that can encourage consumers to buy the promoted
product and successfully form a strong brand perception in the minds of target consumers
(Ariska, Evanterianus, & Thamrin, 2022). Advertising has an important role in
influencing consumers to make purchasing decisions. Some of the factors that influence
purchasing decisions are lifestyle factors, online promotion, brand trust, and price.
Previous research explained that the most important factors affecting decision-making in
purchasing are online promotion factors and consumer behavior (Iswahyuni, 2020).
Advertising models widely used are brochures/e-brochures, images, videos or a
combination of models in one ad. In previous research, two-dimensional advertising in
brochures has a more efficient and effective value. According to Imam Safi'i et al. 2023,
the e-brochure design is very effective as an advertising medium that can increase buying
interest in QY Mendoan Malang and is supported by calculations using EPIC and AIDA.
According to (Ermerawati, Subekti, Kurniawati, Susyetina, & Wati, 2022), brochures or
two-dimensional advertisements in the form of posters, e-brochures, and pamphlets have
five advantages. Namely, information is easier to digest, there is no risk of missing details,
eyes are more focused on listening, it is more practical to listen to, and images are easier
to understand. Research on the effectiveness of advertising in the form of two dimensions
in the form of photos, e-brochures, and pictures using the EPIC model method with the
dimensions of Empti (empathy), Persuasion (persuasion), impact (impact), and
communication (communication) shows the highest value results of the four dimensions
of EPIC in the two-dimensional advertising model is the element of persuasion. Some of
these studies are "Analysis of the Effectiveness of Poster Redesign as Promotional
Media" (Bulan, 2019); "Measurement of ITDA Promotion Effectiveness through
Facebook Media Using EPIC Model" (Dewi & Pardosi, 2022), "Analysis of Empathy,
Persuasion, Impact, and Communication (EPIC Model) in Increasing Public Trust";
(Fahrozi, 2016), "Analysis of the Effectiveness of Poster Redesign as Promotional Media
(Case Study: AMDK MADA)" by Anthika Dwi Wiji Utami, 2021, and "Measurement of
the Effectiveness of Marketing Communication for Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises in Medan City during the New Normal Period" by (Chandra, Anggraini, &
Hutabarat, 2022). Persuasion is the process of communication to invite or persuade others
to change attitudes, beliefs, and opinions according to the wishes of the communicator
