Abstract: The Gulo Puan Business Group, Bangsal village, Pampangan sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir district, is a producer of products in the form of gulo-puan, sagon-puan and tapel-puan. After the implementation of the PKMS activity, a product innovation in the form of Mrs. Candy was obtained, while in the PKM activity, a product innovation in the form of Mrs. yogurt was obtained. Based on this, partners have been able to compete with similar business actors because they already have a variety of product variants, both in the form of food and beverages. However, this certainly needs to be strengthened again by utilizing technology to introduce products to the wider community. Social advertising is a promotional media that is carried out through social media. This promotional media is considered far more effective, efficient and on target compared to conventional promotional media such as flyers, banners and so on. Partners in PKMS activities have been able to utilize social media as a marketing medium.
