Analysis in the Formulation of Alfamart's Marketing Strategy in Modern Retail Competition
Abstract
This study examines the application of SWOT analysis in the development of Alfamart's marketing strategy in the midst of fierce competition in Indonesia's modern retail industry which is strengthened by IFAS (Internal Factor Analysis Summary) and EFAS (External Factor Analysis Summary). The research aims to identify internal capabilities as well as external environmental factors that affect Alfamart's competitive position. With a qualitative descriptive approach, data is obtained through annual reports, industry publications, and academic literature. The results of the analysis show that Alfamart's main strengths lie in its customer accessibility and integrated distribution network, while its weaknesses include reduced differentiation and low technological innovation compared to competitors. Opportunities arise from the expansion of digital platforms and the increasing use of non-cash transactions, while threats come from the aggressive expansion of competitors as well as changes in consumer lifestyles. The research findings confirm that the SWOT analysis allows Alfamart to develop a marketing strategy that focuses on improving digitalization, customer experience, and product variety management.
