This study aims to analyze efforts to empower the village economy through the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on sustainable agriculture in Kudadepa Village, Sukahening District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The background of this study is the low added value of village agricultural products that have so far relied on traditional distribution systems, so that farmers tend to sell products to collectors at less profitable prices. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a field study approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research participants included agricultural MSMEs, village officials, and local consumers. The results show that strengthening the capacity of MSMEs can be done through three main strategies: improving managerial and technical skills for business actors, product innovation based on organic and environmentally friendly agriculture, and developing a broader digital marketing network. In addition, support from the village government and related institutions plays a crucial role in providing access to capital, business mentoring, and facilitating ongoing training. The conclusion of this study confirms that the development of sustainable agricultural MSMEs not only increases community income but also encourages village economic independence and environmental sustainability. Thus, the MSME-based empowerment model can be an effective strategy in building an inclusive and competitive rural economy.

Sustainable tourism aims to maximize the potential of travel destinations while maintaining a careful balance between social, economic, and environmental factors, and coastal tourism such as that found at Mutun Beach in Lampung illustrates both the promise and the urgency of this approach. Coastal tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global travel industry, offering visitors natural beauty, recreational activities, and cultural experiences that generate significant income for local economies. In Indonesia, beaches are major attractions that can boost regional development through job creation, small business opportunities, and improved infrastructure. Mutun Beach, a well-known coastal destination on the southern coast of Sumatra, contributes greatly to the Regional Original Income (PAD) of Lampung Province and provides livelihoods for surrounding communities. Yet despite its popularity, the area continues to face persistent problems such as weak administrative management, limited community participation, inadequate facilities, and signs of environmental degradation, all of which threaten its long-term sustainability. This service project therefore focuses on designing a comprehensive plan for sustainable tourism growth at Mutun Beach for the 2025–2030 period. A participatory strategy is employed through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving local government, tourism stakeholders, community members, academics, and potential investors to ensure inclusive decision-making. The resulting five-stage roadmap emphasizes strengthening tourism regulations, constructing eco-friendly infrastructure, empowering residents with training and entrepreneurial opportunities, creating tourism products that highlight environmental and cultural values, and adopting digital marketing to reach broader audiences. Success indicators include increased regional revenue, rising visitor numbers, higher tourist satisfaction, and measurable improvements in coastal environmental health. Implementing this roadmap is urgent because coastal tourism directly supports economic growth, provides steady employment, and safeguards natural resources, ensuring that Mutun Beach remains both competitive and environmentally resilient for generations to come.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of online and offline marketing strategies in increasing used car sales at Yuna Mobil Showroom Rantau Prapat. The research background is based on the rapid development of information technology and digitalization, which encourage businesses to combine conventional and digital marketing strategies to reach a wider range of consumers. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and triangulation. The results indicate that online marketing plays a significant role in building brand awareness, expanding market reach, and providing fast and efficient access to information through social media, marketplaces, and instant messaging applications. However, this strategy has not been fully effective in converting consumer interest into actual purchase decisions, as customers still require direct product experience. Conversely, offline marketing is proven to be more effective at the decision-making stage due to direct interaction, test drives, and higher consumer trust in the actual condition of used cars. Therefore, the effectiveness of marketing will be optimized if online and offline strategies are implemented in an integrated and complementary manner. This study provides practical contributions for automotive business players in designing marketing strategies aligned with local consumer characteristics, as well as academic contributions to the development of marketing management studies in the digital era.

This study concludes that employer branding is not merely a communication tool but also a long-term investment in human resource management.

Furthermore, the simultaneous test confirmed that the two variables jointly have a significant effect, supported by an F-value of 108.003, which is greater than the F-table value of 3.09, and a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.690, indicating that 69% of the variation in consumer purchase intention is explained by digital marketing strategies and customer experience, while the remaining 31% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings highlight that implementing effective digital marketing strategies alongside delivering high-quality customer experiences is crucial for enhancing consumer purchase intention in MSMEs within the digital era.

The silver craft center in Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency, Bali faces significant challenges related to product marketing in the digital era. A heavy reliance on offline sales through exhibitions and tourists has resulted in slim profit margins for artisans, making their economic conditions highly vulnerable to fluctuations in visitor numbers. Additionally, silver artisans face difficulties in managing digital marketing, including limitations in writing attractive product descriptions, lack of understanding of product photography, and insufficient skills in managing social media and online stores. This situation adversely affects market reach, especially for international consumers who cannot access these products directly. To address these issues, the Japanese Literature Study Program at Mahasaraswati University Denpasar collaborated with Shitennoji University, Osaka, to conduct a community service program focused on mentoring digital marketing for silver craft products targeting the Japanese market, particularly with Yanyan Silver, one of the cooperative partners. The community service activities lasted for two months, beginning with observation and situation analysis on June 14, 2025, and concluding with evaluation at the end of August 2025. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach enabled active participation from artisans in every stage of the activity, from problem identification, planning, implementation, to evaluation. This approach ensures that the solutions produced are tailored to local needs and context. The marketing strategy employed used an integrated marketing mix covering product, price, promotion, and distribution through digital platforms. This facilitated easier customer access in Japan and enhanced Yanyan Silver’s brand awareness. These efforts positively impacted expanding market reach, improving the economic stability of artisans, and strengthening the competitiveness of silver craft products internationally, especially in the Japanese market.

These findings are expected to serve as a reference for other companies in designing digital marketing strategies that are inclusive and responsive to changing consumer behavior.
