Peran Pemasaran Digital dalam Meningkatkan Profitabilitas UMKM di Desa Cisaat Sukabumi
Abstract
This study aims to analyze and implement the role of digital marketing in increasing the profitability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Cisaat Village, Sukabumi Regency. MSMEs in Cisaat Village experience various challenges in developing their businesses, especially in terms of product marketing which is still limited to traditional methods. On the other hand, the development of digital technology and the use of social media and e-commerce platforms offer great opportunities to expand market reach and increase product sales. Through a qualitative approach with a participatory method, this study involved MSME actors in Cisaat Village in digital marketing training and mentoring which included managing social media, e-commerce, and other digital-based marketing strategies. The results of the study showed that the implementation of digital marketing was able to increase brand awareness, expand market access, and reduce marketing costs which have been high. MSMEs involved in this program recorded an increase in product sales and competitiveness in the digital market. However, obstacles such as limited internet access and adequate devices are still challenges in optimizing digital marketing. Therefore, the recommendations of this study include improving the village's technological infrastructure, ongoing mentoring, and advanced training in using the latest digital tools. Thus, digital marketing not only helps MSMEs in increasing profitability but also strengthens their competitiveness in the wider market.
