With this community service activity, it is hoped that it can help business actors in obtaining a Business Identification Number (NIB) without excessive costs or without additional costs. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through direct counseling to MSME actors around UIN K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan. The results of this study concluded that the creation of a Business Identification Number (NIB) was intended so that MSMEs around UIN K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan have business legality. The creation of a Business Identification Number (NIB) was carried out independently by researchers using the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Then the results of the submission of the Business Identification Number (NIB) were printed and given directly to the relevant MSME actors. The Business Identification Number (NIB) is beneficial for MSMEs, because their businesses will receive legal protection as well as business development opportunities, both through training and technical guidance, as well as through financial access, such as the possibility of obtaining capital loans from financial institutions.</em></p> Khuly Shofiana, Tsania Umairo, Muhammad Sultan Mubarok Copyright (c) 2025 Khuly Shofiana, Tsania Umairo, Muhammad Sultan Mubarok https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/3856 Sun, 14 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Strategi Pemberdayaan UMKM Melalui Pelatihan Pembuatan Iklan Digital untuk Optimalisasi Pemasaran Komoditas Lokal di Kecamatan Kayen https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4308 <p><em>Entrepreneurs are individuals or groups engaged in business activities to produce goods or services. To increase product visibility, they need to implement marketing strategies, including the use of digital media. However, many UMKM actors in Kayen District, Pati Regency, still rely on manual marketing methods or word-of-mouth promotion. To address this issue, Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (LP2M) of STMIK AKI Pati organized a digital marketing training program for local UMKM. The goal is to enhance their ability to market their products or services effectively through digital platforms. The training is conducted in three stages: first, introducing the basic concepts of digital marketing; second, teaching participants how to use graphic design software such as Canva and Photoshop to create logos and promotional flyers; and third, guiding them on how to register and use e-commerce platforms like Shopee and Tokopedia, as well as how to advertise effectively on social media. This program aims to help UMKM actors in Kayen understand the importance of digital marketing and develop more effective strategies to promote and sell their products online.</em></p> Eko Prasetyo, Adhi Priyanto, Sthepanus Widjaja Copyright (c) 2025 Eko Prasetyo, Adhi Priyanto, Sthepanus Widjaja https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4308 Sun, 14 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Pelatihan Teknologi Digital dan Penghematan Energi Berbasis Panel Surya untuk Keluarga Mandiri pada Ibu-Ibu PKK di Dusun Brendil Ngawi https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4361 <p><em>The development of digital technology and the increasing need for energy are challenges as well as opportunities in community empowerment efforts, especially in rural areas.

Unfortunately, most of the profit from oyster mushroom production comes solely from the sale of fresh mushrooms. Instant seasonings in the form of powder or paste are widely used, both for household needs and the culinary industry, making them highly demanded in the market. The same applies to oyster mushroom broth, whether in powder or paste form. This community service activity aimed to train members of KWT Simbang Sejahtera to produce mushroom broth in paste and powder forms using their cultivated oyster mushrooms, in order to increase the added value and profits from their production. The training activity included several stages: pre-test, material presentation on oyster mushroom processing, practical session on making mushroom broth paste and powder, and a post-test. The pre-test results showed that 95% of participants did not know how to make mushroom broth powder, and 90% were unfamiliar with making mushroom broth paste. After the material delivery and hands-on practice, the post-test results showed that 100% of participants had learned how to make both broth powder and paste from oyster mushrooms. Based on these results, it can be concluded that this community service activity had a significant impact on participants’ understanding and knowledge. </em></p> Andi Hermina Julyaningsih, Andi Nurfaidah Rahman, Arfina Sukmawati Arifin, Muhpidah Muhpidah, Fitri Fitri, Serli Hatul Hidayat, Sunrixon Carmando Yuansah Copyright (c) 2025 Andi Hermina Julyaningsih, Andi Nurfaidah Rahman, Arfina Sukmawati Arifin, Muhpidah Muhpidah, Fitri Fitri, Serli Hatul Hidayat, Sunrixon Carmando Yuansah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4447 Sun, 14 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Pemberdayaan Wanita pada UMKM Berbasis Pertanian di Desa Purba Hinalang Kabupaten Simalungun https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4646 <p><em>Purba Hinalang Village, Simalungun Regency, is a producer of chilies and tomatoes. However, in terms of welfare, these farmers are generally not economically prosperous. The problem is that horticultural products are perishable and their prices fluctuate in the market, so farmers often experience losses due to very low prices. . In addition to economic losses, rotting chilies and tomatoes in the field can also become a source of contamination for pests and plant diseases. This Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to provide solutions to farmers' challenges when harvests are abundant and prices are low. The solution offered is mentoring farmers, particularly housewives, in transferring technology for processing chilies and tomatoes into attractively packaged chili floss and tomato sauce, which adds value and boosts farmers' incomes, especially during abundant harvests and low prices. It also has a longer shelf life. Through mentoring and training farmers using a participatory approach within this Community Service Program (PKM), it is hoped that technology transfer will proceed smoothly and eventually produce home-based entrepreneurs who can increase family incomes and thus improve farmers' welfare.</em></p> Lamria Sidauruk, Patricius Sipayung, Ernitha Panjaitan, Indrawaty Sitepu Copyright (c) 2025 Lamria Sidauruk, Patricius Sipayung, Ernitha Panjaitan, Indrawaty Sitepu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4646 Sun, 14 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Penempatan Plang (Signage) Desa pada Decision Point Pengunjung Desa Kambingan https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methabdi/article/view/4347 <p><em>The village has potential natural resources in agriculture and aquaculture ponds.

Conventional nutrition interventions often fail in the aspect of sustained child growth monitoring. This community service research aims to test the effectiveness of the Digital Application-Based Nutrition Education Model (Si Penting), which is the result of collaboration between Universitas Harapan Bangsa and Universitas Muhammadiyah Brebes, in strengthening caregiver capacity. The activity was conducted in Bantarkawung Sub-district, involving 45 caregivers of toddlers (children age 6–24 months). The design used was a One-Group Pre-test Post-test Design. The intervention included face-to-face nutrition education followed by training and mentoring on the use of the Si Penting Digital Application for two weeks. Data analysis utilized the Paired Sample T-Test to compare knowledge and attitude scores. The results showed a significant increase in the average nutrition knowledge score from 61.85 (pre-test) to 89.20 (post-test) with a significance value p=0.000.
