Abstract

This study focuses on marketing development strategies for packaged drinking water at the Aqsa Factory in Bener Mulie, Wih Pesam District, Bener Meriah Regency. The packaged drinking water industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth due to the increasing public awareness of health and hygiene. Despite its potential, Aqsa Factory faces challenges in expanding its market reach beyond the local area. This research employs a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats affecting the business. The results show that Aqsa Factory's strengths include high-quality water sourced from the mountains, established brand recognition, and modern production technology. However, weaknesses such as limited product innovation and marketing management hinder its growth. Opportunities lie in the increasing demand for quality drinking water and the potential for partnerships with distributors and hotels. Conversely, threats from intense competition and economic uncertainty pose challenges. Recommended strategies include leveraging strengths to exploit opportunities, such as enhancing marketing efforts through social media and expanding product variants. By implementing these strategies, Aqsa Factory can improve its market position and achieve sustainable growth in the packaged drinking water industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the marketing efficiency of the chip agroindustry" Dhapue Keripik Cap Bunga Dahlia" located in Gampong Putoh, Peusangan Subdistrict, Bireuen Regency. The focus of the research includes identifying the marketing channels used, analyzing marketing margins, farmer’s share, and the level of marketing efficiency in each channel. The research employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected through interviews with the business owner and resellers, as well as secondary data from literature sources. The results showed that there are two marketing channels: (1) direct sales from producer to consumer, and (2) producer – retailer/reseller – consumer. The first channel, with no intermediaries involved, resulted in a marketing margin of zero and a farmer’s share of 100%, making it the most efficient channel. The second channel yielded a marketing margin of IDR 20,000 per kilogram and a farmer’s share ranging from 66.7% to 71.4%, which is also considered efficient as it remains below the 50% marketing efficiency threshold. Therefore, both marketing channels are considered efficient, although the direct-to-consumer channel provides higher benefits to the producer. This research is expected to serve as a reference for business owners and policymakers in improving the effectiveness of distribution and marketing strategies for local agroindustrial products.
