A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving ten street-vendor MSME owners. The findings show that traditional marketing, including strategic location, direct promotion, personal relationships, and word-of-mouth, remains the main foundation for trust and repeat purchases. Digital marketing through WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and simple marketplace channels complements traditional practices by expanding promotional reach, accelerating communication, and supporting order management. Their integration forms a hybrid marketing strategy that improves customer growth, promotional effectiveness, repeat purchases, and business sustainability. The study highlights the relevance of simple, gradual, and locally embedded digital strategies for micro-level enterprises.
