Abstract :

The clinic growth in Indonesia every year indicates that Indonesia is a potential market for the healthcare industry. However, on the other hand, this also indicates that competition in this business sector continues to escalate. This phenomenon also impacts Circum by Mutiara Cikutra, a circumcision clinic based in Bandung. Competition between circumcision clinics that use either conventional or modern methods and the low public awareness of existing circumcision clinics lead to fluctuation in the number of patients/consumers. This study aims to find an appropriate strategy to improve public awareness of the Circum clinic. External and internal analysis is carried out to understand business problems broadly and deeply. Analysis of the external focus on PESTEL and competitor analysis, while the analysis of the internal focus on STP and marketing mix (7P). In this study, both primary data and secondary data were collected for analysis. Questionnaires were distributed to the target market of Circum by Mutiara Cikutra to obtain data related to the characteristics and preferences of target consumers in considering and choosing a circumcision clinic. After that, the author uses the SWOT analysis to summarize the analysis findings and uses the TOWS matrix to generate the appropriate strategies. The proposed strategies are structured into a new marketing mix strategy which is expected can be a solution to the current business issue at the Circum by Mutiara Cikutra.
