| Abstract: | Dalam dunia bisnis, pemasaran berperan penting untuk mencapai keuntungan dan menjaga kelangsungan usaha. Kepuasan konsumen menjadi kunci karena pelanggan yang puas cenderung loyal. Komunikasi pemasaran, termasuk Word of Mouth (WoM), merupakan strategi efektif untuk membangun kepercayaan, memperkuat citra, dan meningkatkan penjualan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis strategi komunikasi pemasaran WoM yang digunakan oleh nelayan Desa Sei Apung Jaya serta hambatan yang dihadapi dalam menerapkan strategi komunikasi pemasaran Word of Mouth dalam meningkatkan penjualan kerang di Desa Sei Apung Jaya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang melibatkan pengumpulan data langsung dari para nelayan dan pembeli kerang di Desa Sei Apung Jaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi komunikasi pemasaran Word of Mouth (WoM) nelayan Desa Sei Apung Jaya berlangsung secara alami. Nelayan memanfaatkan pelanggan tetap serta relasi sosial dekat sebagai penyebar informasi, dengan topik utama berupa kualitas, harga, dan kebersihan kerang. Media komunikasi yang digunakan sederhana, seperti percakapan langsung dan WhatsApp, selain itu umpan balik konsumen juga diperhatikan meskipun melalui komunikasi informal. Hambatan yang dihadapi meliputi keterbatasan waktu, sarana promosi, serta kendala psikologis dan sosial, seperti persepsi harga dan rendahnya kemampuan komunikasi. Faktor-faktor ini menjadi tantangan dalam mengoptimalkan strategi WoM agar lebih terstruktur dan efektif. In the business world, marketing plays an important role in achieving profits and maintaining business continuity. Customer satisfaction is key because satisfied customers tend to be loyal. Marketing communication, including Word of Mouth (WoM), is an effective strategy for building trust, strengthening image, and increasing sales. This study aims to analyze the WoM marketing communication strategy used by fishermen in Sei Apung Jaya Village and the obstacles faced in implementing the Word of Mouth marketing communication strategy to increase shellfish sales in Sei Apung Jaya Village. This study is a qualitative study involving direct data collection from fishermen and shellfish buyers in Sei Apung Jaya Village. The results show that the Word of Mouth (WoM) marketing communication strategy of fishermen in Sei Apung Jaya Village occurs naturally. Fishermen utilize regular customers and close social relationships as information disseminators, with the main topics being the quality, price, and cleanliness of the shellfish. The communication media used are simple, such as direct conversation and WhatsApp, and consumer feedback is also taken into account, albeit through informal communication. The obstacles faced include time constraints, promotional facilities, and psychological and social barriers, such as price perceptions and poor communication skills. These factors pose challenges in optimizing the WoM strategy to make it more structured and effective. |
