The packaging of the tote bag itself uses modern packaging using cardboard, thank you cards, and hemp rope so that the packaging looks very attractive. For the marketing of the products made, it focuses on digital marketing using market places such as Shopee, Lazada, and Tokopedia. For promotional media, use social media, especially Instagram with the name @liumybag.store. The product that is made is just a tote bag, but the natural elements and creativity make this product unique and very interesting, especially since there are not many similar products on the market.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Semarang State Polytechnic (Polines) Student Creativity Program (PKM) team, in collaboration with the Al-Mudhofar Orphanage, develops creativity and entrepreneurial spirit\u2026<\/p>\n
