Abstract

Smart consumer education is one of the programs that continuously promote by the government to increase awareness for consumers to be wise and careful in shopping. The education was performed through the WhatsApp group with 60 participants. The implementation of education through the WhatsApp group was chosen due to the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) program by the government in suppressing the spread of the Covid-19 virus. This event aims to increase the knowledge of people in Joglo Village, Surakarta City as individuals to become smart consumers who are wise in shopping during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method applied lecture, discussion, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The material covered the rights and obligations as consumers, consumer protection agencies, and how to become smart consumers in online and offline shopping during the Covid-19 pandemic. The result shows an increase of knowledge regarding smart consumers, as seen from the pre-test and post-test scores. The implementation of these educational activities encountered several obstacles, such as the limitation of the organizers to ensure that all participants continued to attend the series of events and the organizers could not ensure that all participants filled out the post-test and pre-test.
