This research aims to describe the process of transforming Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) toward a digital economy through QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) training and the creation of creative banners as promotional media in Batu Karang Village, Karo Regency. Digital transformation has become an essential need for MSMEs to adapt to changes in consumer behavior and rapid technological development. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach focusing on training materials and the implementation process, without using quantitative data or interview results. The findings indicate that QRIS training provides MSME actors with conceptual and practical understanding of digital payment systems that are efficient, secure, and convenient. In addition, creative banner development functions as a visual promotional tool that strengthens business identity and enhances consumer attraction. The integration of QRIS with creative banners creates synergy between digital payment systems and promotional strategies that are relevant to the conditions of rural MSMEs. Overall, this research demonstrates that digital-based training combined with creative promotional media can serve as an effective strategy to enhance MSME readiness in facing the digital economy era in a sustainable manner.

Local coffee micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Karang Sidemen Village, Central Lombok Regency, have significant development potential; however, they still face challenges related to marketing practices and limited value addition. Conventional marketing systems restrict market reach and reduce product competitiveness. In the context of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0, digital marketing offers a strategic opportunity for MSMEs to enhance product promotion and sales performance. This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of local coffee MSMEs through the implementation of social media–based digital marketing strategies. A participatory approach was employed, actively involving MSME actors and students through stages of problem identification, program planning, training and hands-on digital marketing practices, and evaluation. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ understanding and skills in utilizing social media as a promotional tool, as reflected by the initiative to develop and publish promotional video content for local coffee products, including the flagship Versilia coffee variant. The use of visual content and storytelling facilitated the practical adoption of digital marketing strategies. Overall, this program contributed to shifting marketing behavior from conventional to digital approaches and strengthening the sustainable competitiveness of local coffee MSMEs.

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) health is an essential component of adolescents’ well-being and learning performance; however, health literacy related to ENT care among senior high school students remains limited. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge and basic ENT skills at SMA Negeri 9 Pekanbaru through skill lab–based learning as a school health promotion strategy. The program was conducted through theoretical education covering basic ENT anatomy and common ENT disorders among adolescents, followed by hands-on training in simple ENT examinations using demonstration and direct practice with learning aids. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge improvement, as well as direct observation to assess students’ practical skills. The results demonstrated a clear increase in students’ knowledge after the intervention, along with improved ability to perform basic ENT examinations under instructor guidance. Students also showed better understanding of early signs of ENT disorders and appropriate preventive behaviors. Participation and enthusiasm during the activities were high, and most students reported that the program was beneficial and relevant to their daily experiences. This activity also supported the School Health Unit (UKS) program and strengthened collaboration between the school and the university. In conclusion, skill lab–based basic ENT training is an effective promotive and preventive approach to enhancing ENT health literacy and basic clinical skills among senior high school students.
