Abstract

This study explores marketing strategies and financial management in traditional market businesses, focusing on the Sukaramai Market in Medan, Indonesia. The research aims to address the challenges and opportunities faced by local traders in maintaining business sustainability while balancing marketing efforts and financial management. Data were collected through interviews with two shop owners specializing in textiles and clothing, with questions targeting operational practices, customer engagement strategies, revenue generation, and financial resource allocation. The respondents highlighted key marketing approaches, including direct promotions and customer loyalty programs, alongside financial practices such as managing initial capital, monthly turnover, and employee salaries. The study identifies significant challenges, such as competition with online platforms and fluctuating customer demand during seasonal periods. The analysis employs a qualitative approach to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies and financial practices in achieving business stability. Preliminary findings indicate that while traders employ basic marketing and financial management techniques, limited digital adoption and informal accounting practices hinder their ability to scale operations effectively. The study emphasizes the need for integrating modern financial tools and e-commerce solutions to enhance competitiveness. These insights are relevant for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to support traditional market businesses in adapting to a rapidly changing economic landscape.

Abstract

This study aims to explore village financial accountability and management strategies implemented for community economic empowerment toward the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision, using Amplas Village in Percut Sei Tuan District as a case study. A descriptive qualitative method was applied through field practice and direct interviews with the village head and local residents of the village. The results show that the village has established a Merah Putih Cooperative as a collective platform for managing agricultural and livestock products, which is officially registered and plays a key role in improving access to capital and product values. Additionally, government support programs, such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and microenterprise training, have encouraged local community participation in economic activities. However, challenges remain, including unequal aid distribution and a lack of routine outreach. The study concludes that financial accountability through cooperatives and participatory village management strategies has contributed positively to economic empowerment, although further improvements are needed in reporting transparency and equal access to programs. These findings are expected to provide input for village policymakers in designing community-based financial and empowerment policy.
