Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Social Media Marketing and Word of Mouth on Marketing Promotion with Brand Image as a mediating variable in Flamboyan Gorontalo MSMEs. This study is motivated by the importance of utilizing social media and word of mouth communication in increasing the effectiveness of MSME marketing promotion amidst increasingly competitive business competition. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique. Data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to consumers who have purchased Flamboyan Gorontalo MSME products. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) through the SmartPLS application. The results of the study indicate that Brand Image has a positive and significant effect on Marketing Promotion. Word of Mouth has a positive and significant effect on Brand Image. Conversely, Social Media Marketing has no significant effect on Brand Image or Marketing Promotion. In addition, Word of Mouth also has no significant effect on Marketing Promotion. The results of the indirect effect test indicate that Brand Image is unable to mediate the effect of Social Media Marketing on Marketing Promotion or the effect of Word of Mouth on Marketing Promotion. The research findings indicate that the success of marketing promotions in the Flamboyan Gorontalo MSME is more determined by the strength of its brand image than by social media marketing activities and direct word-of-mouth communication. This research contributes to the development of digital marketing and brand management literature, and provides input for MSMEs in designing marketing strategies that focus on strengthening brand image to increase the effectiveness of marketing promotions and business competitiveness.

Abstract

Economic empowerment of coastal communities is essential to support sustainable tourism and improve local welfare. Tihu Beach in Bolaang Mongondow Regency has strong tourism potential, yet MSME activities remain limited due to insufficient skills in product processing, packaging, and marketing. This community service program aimed to enhance community economic capacity through training and mentoring in producing corn chips as a local-based MSME product. A participatory approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design was applied to 15 participants. Activities included production training, food sanitation education, packaging assistance, and evaluation of knowledge and skills. The results indicated significant improvements across all training aspects, with the highest increase in packaging and labeling skills from 28 to 82. Economic analysis showed a potential net profit of approximately IDR 1,860,000 per month. The program supports skill development and the strengthening of tourism-based coastal MSMEs
