Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the community's economy through training on marketing strategies for agricultural products in Nagari Sikabu, Lubuk Alung District, Padang Pariaman Regency. The main problems faced by farmer groups in this area are limited market access, price fluctuations, and a lack of understanding of modern marketing strategies. Therefore, this training focuses on the application of digital marketing, the use of social media, and the use of e-commerce in marketing agricultural products. The methods used in this activity include initial observation, Focus Group Discussion [FGD], digital marketing training, and assistance in implementing marketing strategies. The results of the activity showed that the participants were very enthusiastic in participating in the training, especially in discussions related to the marketing challenges they faced. In addition, participants gain new insights and skills in utilizing digital technology to expand market reach. Overall, this activity went well and provided significant benefits for farmer groups. However, further assistance is still needed so that the implementation of the marketing strategies that have been studied can run optimally and sustainably.

Abstract

This community service program addresses the limited market access faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) among fishing communities in Bungus, Padang City, whose members produce processed fishery goods such as shredded fish floss (abon) and vacuum-packed fish products but continue to rely heavily on conventional, geographically limited sales channels. The program aimed to optimize the use of marketplace platforms, namely Shopee and Tokopedia, together with digital marketing strategies, in order to expand market reach and increase the income of partner MSMEs. The implementation adopted a Community-Based Empowerment approach carried out through three main stages: digital literacy socialization comparing e-commerce and marketplace systems, technical training in online store registration, smartphone-based product photography, and airtight packaging standardization, and continuous mentoring covering store management, promotional feature optimization, and digital transaction handling. Involving twenty-five partner MSMEs, the program produced a measurable increase in partner understanding of marketplace operations, the establishment of twelve official online stores, improved visual quality of product photography and packaging, and an average sales increase within two months following store optimization. These outcomes indicate that structured digital marketing mentoring is an effective pathway for expanding the market share of coastal MSMEs and strengthening their transition toward digitally based economic independence. The program also identified several implementation constraints, including varying levels of digital readiness among partners and the need for continued post-program mentoring, which are discussed as considerations for future coastal community empowerment initiatives.
