Abstract

The Waste Bank Program is a community-based waste management initiative aimed at reducing waste volume and increasing environmental awareness among residents. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the initial socialization of the Waste Bank Program in encouraging community participation in Dusun Besar Village, Bengkulu City. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving the village authorities, waste bank managers, as well as residents who are both involved and not yet involved in the program. The research findings indicate that socialization efforts carried out through community meetings, social media, and direct counseling were fairly successful in reaching most of the community. However, the level of participation remains moderate due to obstacles such as a lack of technical understanding, limited supporting facilities, and uneven distribution of information. Therefore, the effectiveness of the socialization can be considered moderately successful but needs improvement through more intensive, participatory, and community-based communication strategies. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for local governments and community managers in optimizing the implementation of the Waste Bank Program in the future.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on local resources have great potential in driving village economic growth. However, low product branding capacity is often a major obstacle in increasing MSME competitiveness in the wider market. This community service activity aims to introduce basic strategies for local product branding to MSMEs in Sri Kuncoro Village, Central Bengkulu Regency, by utilizing digital media as an effective and affordable promotional tool. Through socialization, participants were introduced to the importance of brand identity, product storytelling techniques, basic principles of packaging design, and the use of digital platforms such as WhatsApp Business, Instagram, and local marketplaces. It is hoped that this activity will increase MSMEs' understanding of the importance of product image, expand market reach, and encourage the growth of businesses based on local potential.

Abstract

One of the Indonesian government's efforts is to develop Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, usually MSMEs, to restore economic stability and encourage economic growth and national economic recovery. A common problem for every MSME is that knowledge about financial reports is still weak. Based on these conditions, the community service team for the Master of Applied Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business, Bengkulu University, held socialization activities for MSME Digitalization Development in Pekik Nyering Village, Central Bengkulu Regency and made this an effort to increase the competitiveness of MSME products. The socialization focused on training in making simple financial reports and using the SIAPIK application to make it easier to record financial transactions precisely and practically anytime, anywhere, without carrying a cash book. The activity was carried out on September 4, 2024, and was well received by the people of Pekik Nyering Village. After training, MSMEs can use the SIAPIK application and are expected to continue using this application on an ongoing basis.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have revolutionized halal product marketing strategies at the global level, particularly through the use of social media and creative content. This article aims to evaluate the role of creative content marketing strategies in building halal brand awareness among digital audiences in Europe. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a literature study approach from journals, articles, books, and related reports. The results of the study show that creative content-based marketing strategies, such as storytelling, interactive campaigns, and collaborations with influencers, can increase emotional engagement and brand awareness on social media platforms. Furthermore, content marketing is considered more effective than conventional strategies in attracting attention and building long-term relationships with consumers, both Muslim and nonMuslim. These findings emphasize the importance of digital content innovation in expanding halal market penetration in Western regions with diverse social and cultural characteristics. It is recommended that halal industry players further integrate creative approaches and continuous evaluation to enhance the impact of their marketing strategies.
