Abstract

Conventional marketing strategies used by tobacco entrepreneurs, such as direct sales to middlemen or word-of-mouth, are beginning to lose their effectiveness. Amidst the rapid development of the times, tobacco entrepreneurs in Garut face significant challenges, particularly in product marketing. The training method employed a participatory, educational, and practical approach tailored to the needs of the tobacco entrepreneurs, the program's primary target. The results of this study identified benefits in improving digital literacy and marketing. Most participants demonstrated increased knowledge of digital marketing strategies, including an understanding of social media, e-commerce, branding, and digital content-based promotional techniques. Therefore, this training also contributed to the formation of networks among entrepreneurs, fostering interaction and collaboration among tobacco entrepreneurs in Garut.
