Abstract

The aim of the Community Service (PkM) is to develop packaging quality and marketing strategies for Ran-Aini Arabica Coffee products.

In the end, through this PkM, Ran-Aini Arabica Coffee products have attractive packaging, and sales accounts on WhatsApp and Instagram digital platforms are more effective marketing media.
