Modern online marketing consists of a variety of interacting methods and tools. The consumer exists in the flows of marketing information. The consumer’s value acquisition process is not linear. Financial constraints at the marketing budget level for small business enterprises require reducing the uncertainty of results from the applied online marketing methods. In this paper, we look into the properties of gap analysis to study the discrepancies between the current and planned results of online marketing activities of small business enterprises. The research methodology is based on the gap analysis method, which is complemented by the methods of content analysis, cvp analysis, graphical methods, and special methods of online marketing. The study examines the properties of gaps in the transformation of online marketing informational flows. A mathematical description and graphic interpretation of the gap in the transformation of the informational flow of online marketing is proposed. The results of the study show that the use of gap analysis methods makes it possible to detail the phenomenon of consumer proactivity, reduce the uncertainty from the use of online marketing methods and improve the quality of marketing information about the consumer for small business enterprises.

Melemahnya daya beli konsumen dikuti dengan perubahan pola konsumsi masyarakat mendatangkan sejumlah masalah. Sektor kuliner menjadi salah satu yang terdampak berat. Usaha stik tempoyak yang merupakan hasil kreasi dari seorang ibu rumah tangga di Jambi yang ingin menciptakan oleh-oleh penganan ringan khas Jambi turut merasakan dampak tersebut.

Cara luring dengan kemasan produk yang sederhana tidak dapat dipertahankan. Kegiatan PKM ini dilakukan untuk membantu UKM binaan agar dapat bertahan sekaligus melakukan inovasi pengembangan produk. Kemasan produk yang menarik dapat dimanfaatkan untuk aktivitas pemasaran daring, yang  diperkirakan akan semakin intens pemanfaatannya sekalipun pandemi telah berakhir.     Kata Kunci: Kemasan Produk, UKM, Pemasaran     ABSTRACT The economic crisis triggered by the spread of the SARS-Cov2 virus has yet to be controlled. This condition has created many problems for SME entrepreneurs in Indonesia. The weakening of consumer purchasing power followed by changes in public consumption patterns has created a number of problems. The culinary sector is one of the hardest hit. The tempoyak stick business, which was the creation of a housewife in Jambi who wanted to create a typical Jambi snack, also felt the impact. The reduced number of tourist visits to Jambi and restrictions on community activities forced these SMEs to change their marketing methods.
