Optimalisasi Penerapan Digital Marketing Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah GeOL (Getek Online)

2025-09-19T01:54:16+00:00

While MSMEs play a vital role, they still face serious challenges, particularly in marketing. Many MSMEs in villages still rely on conventional methods to market their products, such as direct sales in traditional markets, word of mouth, or local marketing with very limited reach. This results in superior village products, such as Getek Online (GeOL), being unable to compete more broadly in regional or national markets. Various digital platforms such as social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), marketplaces (Shopee, Tokopedia, Bukalapak), and e-commerce websites and applications provide significant opportunities for MSMEs to expand market reach and increase product competitiveness. Not only does it increase sales, digital marketing also helps businesses understand consumer behavior, build long-term relationships with customers, and increase promotional effectiveness at a relatively lower cost than conventional media. Responding to these challenges, the Getek Online (GeOL) initiative emerged, a community-based movement to digitalize the marketing of river crossings using crossing tools made from wood and bamboo, typical of Pematang Serai village. GeOL is a local innovation aimed at facilitating village MSMEs in utilizing digital marketing collectively and in a structured manner.

The problem faced by the partner so far is the lack of a standard and systematic performance measurement system. The objective of this activity is to assist the partner in developing performance indicators, how to measure them, and how to evaluate them. The method used in this activity is training. The implementation of the activity includes an initial meeting to determine the partner's needs, training in designing KPIs through interactive presentations, two-way dialogue, and case studies relevant to the company's situation. Furthermore, evaluation and monitoring are carried out through question-and-answer sessions and gathering participant feedback to measure the success of the training. The results of this activity demonstrated an increase in partners' understanding of the fundamentals of performance management, the principles of developing SMART-based KPIs, and their ability to formulate performance indicators related to the company's vision, mission, and strategic objectives. Participants' understanding of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) increased from 33% to 67% after the training, based on pre- and post-test results. This activity is expected to be the first step in implementing a sustainable performance management system and improve accountability and operational efficiency at partner companies.

Household organic waste in rural areas is generally managed through conventional practices such as open burning and uncontrolled dumping, which may lead to environmental pollution and public health risks. This Community Service Program aimed to improve community knowledge and skills in managing household organic waste through the implementation of the Takakura composting method, a simple and practical household-scale technology. The program was conducted using a participatory approach involving 25 households over a four-week period, consisting of socialization, technical training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation stages. Evaluation was carried out descriptively by comparing participants’ understanding and practices before and after the program. The results showed a significant improvement in waste segregation practices and composting skills among participants. The volume of organic waste disposed into the environment decreased, and the compost produced met the physical criteria of mature compost, characterized by a dark brown color, odorless condition, and crumbly texture. Furthermore, the program encouraged positive behavioral changes toward environmentally friendly waste management practices. Therefore, the implementation of the Takakura method proved to be an effective and sustainable household-based solution for organic waste management in rural communities.
