This certainly greatly facilitates transactions and also avoids physical touch between one person and another. including with objects, " She said.
Head of the Bali Provincial Industry and Trade Service, I Wayan Jarta, said Balinese craftsmen should not be weak, they should not give up hope or even want to close their businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic which has yet to end.
On the contrary, Balinese craftsmen should be able to use opportunities like this to start working in creating new innovations.
"If at this time we cannot market our products overseas due to delayed delivery, then we should continue to do online marketing specifically for our domestic brothers, including our relatives in Bali," he said.
For crafters who already have a name (brand), they are welcome to enter and join the Baliyoni Group (Balimall) which is already on the online application.
"By joining, all handicraft items ranging from price and quality will also be known by potential consumers. So that from a marketing point of view it will not be so difficult," he explained.

The BPD Bank QRIS payment application is a payment transaction using a barcode so that there is no physical contact between the skin and currency. This will greatly protect consumers from being touched during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Baliyoni Group, Ni Wayan Sri Ariyani said that the name Balimall was chosen because the name Bali was already known abroad, so that a brand in a new application did not take long to be known by many parties.
In Balimall, the goods of craftsmen will be selected first, both product quality and price. Because in Balimall prices have to compete fairly.
Products sold are in the form of clothing needs, as well as footwear to culinary products. (Gix)
