The promotion strategy is very important to implement. Especially in businesses that prioritize services because consumers must feel the benefits of services in order to carry out purchasing activities. So this study aims to determine the promotion strategy via Instagram in an effort to increase the number of Wolio Barbershop services in Makale District. This research is a qualitative research conducted at one of the SMEs in Makale District which is a barbershop named Wolio. This study used an interview instrument conducted with 7 people with details of 1 Barbershop owner, 1 Admin, and 5 Wolio Barbershop customers. The conclusion of this study states that the promotion strategy via Instagram in an effort to increase the number of Wolio Barbershop services in Makale District is due to its suitability with the Wolio Barbershop segmentation which focuses on young people who are concerned with their appearance. Especially nowadays there are so many new hairstyles that encourage the younger generation to look their best. The most dominant strategy implemented is sales promotion through special discounts such as Ramadhan Kece which provides price discounts for consumers of up to 60%. Apart from that, from Direct Marketing by making posts containing Price Lists. This means that the posts made by Wolio Barbershop contain the prices available for services at Wolio Barbershop. Constraints in efforts to increase the number of Barbershop Wolio services in Makale District include less creative Instagram content, lack of promotional costs, and no special sales team.

The Toraja Church Youth Fellowship (PPGT) is an inseparable part of the church's organizational structure. PPGT has various work programs designed to foster enthusiasm and direct the young generation to become an independent generation in various aspects. Entrepreneurship seminar activities in the Sub Theme: Identifying Wants or Needs aim to provide financial education for the younger generation so they are able to manage personal finances through self-identification of whether they buy goods because they really need them or just because they want them. This activity is attended by more than ± 25 people. The method used is lecture, discussion and question and answer. The result of this community service activity is that the young generation is able to define what wants and needs are and is able to identify needs or desires in making decisions to purchase a product.

Community service is one of the three pillars of higher education, aiming to provide solutions to the problems faced by society, including in the aspect of economic empowerment. Panti Asuhan Kristen Tangmentoe is a non-governmental organization located in North Toraja, under the auspices of the Toraja Church. This orphanage has great potential in developing the creativity of its foster children, particularly in their skills in processing eco-friendly materials from bamboo waste. The challenge that arises is how to market the children's creative works. To ensure that these products can be enjoyed by a wider audience and generate positive economic impact, proper guidance is needed in marketing strategies. The stages implemented included product marketing training and mentoring, with evaluations conducted after each phase. This mentoring activity resulted in several positive impacts for Panti Asuhan Kristen Tangmentoe. The foster children and the orphanage staff were able to process bamboo materials into various creative products. These results not only pertained to improved skills and understanding of marketing strategies, but also included social and economic impacts on the orphanage. In terms of marketing, the training participants were able to implement the strategies taught. The products are now being marketed through social media and local e-commerce platforms, receiving positive responses from consumers.
