The campaigns carried out play a role in printing which plays an important role in delivering campaign materials such as leaflets, posters, banners and booklets. Therefore, now that it is the digital era, many printing industries are also facing various challenges and intense competition with their competitors. Then, in terms of marketing, the printing industry must pay attention to its strengths and threats, such as environmental, technological and other factors in facing this election. Therefore, the research that will be carried out aims to examine the marketing strategies used by the printing industry so that it can outperform the competition and what strategies will be implemented if there is a surge in demand. The method used for this research is a qualitative method, which means the researcher analyzes in detail a problem with the printing industry.
