Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are one of the strategic microeconomic pillars that must receive attention so that they can be empowered to improve the community's economy. Amid the era of Globalization and Digitalization which is increasingly dynamic, it is necessary to align and provide understanding to all groups, especially SMEs, regarding technology, especially in the field of marketing goods or services. In this modern era, a competent understanding of technology is needed that can help sustain everyday life.
