Ayam Geprek (spicy smashed fried chicken) is one of the products provided by a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho to meet the needs of people who want practical, affordable, and filling food. However, many people of Makassar City and its surroundings are still unaware of Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho’s existence. As a result, this product is only known and accessed by a few of the people living near the sales location of Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho. This research aims to strengthen the branding of Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through interview techniques with a sample of 10 respondents. The approach used is promotional mix analysis, which focuses on understanding the level of brand awareness and analyzing Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning (STP).

The increase in brand awareness of Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho also impacts the brand’s segmenting, targeting, and positioning strategy. This is evident from the change in the market segment, which previously was not interested in Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho, but became interested after seeing the promotional video about Ayam Geprek Mama Ridho.

Nabila Dwita Meifianti Putri — 2024-09-10

As with the strength of tourism in other regions that utilize the value and wealth of culture, the traditional Bima weaving as a cultural heritage and local wisdom have great potential to become a strengthener of tourism identity. Unfortunately, the weak bargaining power of the traditional Bima weaving industry has an impact on the difficulty of internalizing the cultural values and local wisdom embedded in the traditional Bima weaving into the strengthening of tourism identity. This is reflected not only from economic factors, but also from several institutional relationships. The novelty of this research is reflected in the use of the developed analysis method, namely the "Institutional Approach of, Analytic Hierarchy Process and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats for Structure-Conduct-Performance (IA-AHP-SWOT-SCP)". Our research results show that the strengthening of Bima City's tourism identity through the Bima weaving industry requires a comprehensive institutional strategy. This includes the formation of a craftsmen association, optimization of local government regulations, strengthening of product promotion and marketing, protection of local products, and capacity building for craftsmen. Strategies for domestic and international market expansion are also important, supported by knowledge transfer, innovation, and guaranteed stock availability. Strengthening the certification and standardization system for Bima weaving products is necessary to increase competitiveness in the export market.
