A descriptive and T-test analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Consequently, the triangulation approach was used to combine all quantitative and qualitative results to produce a reliable outcome. Based on the observation, there is a difference between the mean and standard deviation ratings for both before and after implementing the intervention. Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected, and the result showed that there is a difference between before and after the intervention implementation. In Cycle 2 Action Research, Quantitative method was used in this analysis. In this cycle 2, an online survey questionnaire already been provided to 100 of customers. A descriptive and T-test analysis has been carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. New intervention has been implemented in Cycle 2; ‘To increase the awareness by using Facebook Page’ and ‘To appoint a marketing consultant’. There was positive improvement before and after intervention implementation, indicating that all three of our objectives were successfully achieved. Nevertheless, the company’s social media participation score remained comparatively modest. As a result, new future intervention should be updated based on study outcomes and company preferences.
