English Version

The trend of futures trading companies is experiencing a shift where many investors who previously invested in other instruments are starting to switch to the futures trading industry. Valbury Asia Futures Bandung as a futures trading company continues to try to increase the number of customers and build a corporate image through electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) activities. However, Valbury Asia Futures, which has been trying to increase the number of customers and build the company's image, has also been negatively affected by the issue of investment abuse from cases in Indonesia such as the Doni Salmanan case. In early 2022, CoFTRA and Kominfo blocked sites for illegal futures trading where they did not have a permit. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques from journals, books and reports. The results showed that e-WOM in the form of corporate social media, websites and the Member get Member system resulted in an increase in the number of customers with the dominant indicator influencing the increase in the number of customers was content rather than social media. E-WOM used by Valbury Asia Futures has a positive effect on customer interest and purchasing decisions, where E-WOM is formed from 4 (four) factors, namely expressing positive feelings, economics incentives, helping the company and concern for others. The advice that can be given is that Valbury Asia Futures Bandung must be more creative in creating publications on social media.
