In the current developments and the industrial era 4.0 in the field of digital information technology, it has developed widely so that it indirectly affects several sectors life as well as profitable for the community, one of which is in the economic field [9]. The existence of information technology requires all activities to be carried out with a process skill. The advancement of information technology these days changes the lifestyle, culture and perspective of the community in carrying out Reference material related to the development of skills that exist in the present are undoubtedly different from those in the past. This is due to the rapid development of information technology in today's era of globalization, especially in the existing information and developments. These days, technology enters quickly into the sectors of our life, including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)[16]. At present, the influence of this technology on the world of MSMEs has changed the lifestyle of business people, both in socializing and in activities in the process of entrepreneurship. Technological developments also make it easy for business people to provide adequate opportunities to develop their businesses creatively to satisfy customers [17]. MSME actors need a business development process through new strategies in marketing its MSME products to attract and it's fun to take advantage of technology, one of which is by developing a marketing strategy that can adapt to the digital times [18]. The marketing system in the current era is very different compared to the past. There needs to be a change in the types of current marketing models to attract the attention of consumers so that they are interested in seeing the products produced by SMEs, of course, this can help MSME business actors know new things. One of the things that
can be developed in presenting attractive marketing amid the digital era is developing an E-Catalogue[7]. E-Catalogue is a digital product data management system that enables businesses to organize, update, and share product information with customers or business partners. E-Catalogue allows businesses to save production costs, increase efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction [1]. Today, E-catalogues are becoming more and more popular in the marketing world because they can provide better user experience and make it easier for businesses to manage their products. E-Catalogue can help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) improve their efficiency and profits and enable MSMEs to compete with larger businesses [19]. Therefore, E-Catalogue is an important solution for developing marketing in this digital era. With the latest trends in developing E-Catalogues and the widespread adoption of digital technology by businesses and consumers, E-catalogues are becoming an increasingly important solution in this digital era. Adoption of E-Catalogues can help a business actor to improve their performance[6]. Therefore, businesses that want to maintain or improve their position in this digital era must consider adopting E-Catalogue as part of their marketing strategy to increase MSME competitiveness.
With the massive push to adapt to the digital world, there is a risk of groups being left behind, one of which is persons with disabilities. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2020 [2], the Number of people with disabilities in Indonesia is 22.5 million or around 5% of Indonesia's population. As well as for the City of Denpasar itself, the latest data from the City Social Service and Manpower Denpasar recorded several 1,301 people with disabilities [2]. Among these, some of them have MSMEs managed by these business actors. In addition, Denpasar City has been named a Disability Friendly City by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an inclusion city by jointly signing a partnership agreement to raise awareness for people with special needs. It has issued Mayor Regulation (Perwali) No.35 of 2011 regarding Efforts to Increase accessibility of Persons with Disabilities so that their rights must be considered. Currently, in the era of technological development, business actors with disabilities who have minimal internal ideas get access to promote their MSME products digitally in managing the business. And those ideas need some innovations to improve the business [15]. Bali State Polytechnic is one the best vocational state campuses in Indonesia; it is felt essential to be able to assist in supporting excellence in the digital field for MSMEs specific to Persons with Disabilities in Denpasar City as part of the involvement of educational institutions in advancing resources leading, professional and internationally competitive human beings[14]. In this case, the author wants to develop a Digital Marketing Model through QR Code-Based E-Catalogue in Improving the Competitiveness of MSMEs with Disabilities in Denpasar City to support the delivery of knowledge from the Department of Business Administration, Bali State Polytechnic to the public appropriately channeled, especially in the field of marketing in the Digital Business study program. On the other hand, considering that in the post-COVID-19 period, the condition of the business sector is on the rise, the author wants illustrates that the process of developing a digital marketing model Through this E-Catalogue , it will be able to increase competitiveness in the digital world for MSME actors Persons with Disabilities in the City of Denpasar and can introduce more closely the form of contribution of attention to the scientific development of the Bali State Polytechnic in areas outside the campus.
METHODS OF RESEARCH
The stage in this research is to use the ADDIE development model. The development steps in the ADDIE model include the Analysis, the Design stage (Design), the Development stage (Development), the Implementation stage (Implementation), and the evaluation stage (Evaluation). The ADDIE development model was developed to be able to design a system. ADDIE development model chart shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Stages in the ADDIE Model (Branch in [5], 2016)
In the analysis stage, the researcher observed the activities of MSMEs with Disabilities in Denpasar City. Observation activities were carried out using incidental sampling techniques due to the lack of specific data related to SME. The interview process was also conducted with other disability activists and observers. At this stage, the analysis carried out by the researcher is through 1) analysis of needs, 2) analysis of materials and 3) analysis of the characteristics of SMEs. Furthermore, the design stage is one of the next process stages after the previous analysis stage. Also at this stage, the researcher designed the instrument to measure the feasibility of the E-Catalogue that the researcher had developed. This design stage consists of several designs, including 1) QR code access, 2) MSME information, 3) access to product/sales info, and 4) product/sales order barcodes. In this development stage, the researcher carried out several steps development of the E-Catalogue which is structured as 1) QR-Code Design, 2) Information Cover , 3) List of UMKM with Disabilities, 4) List of UMKM with Disabilities in Each District, 5) E-Catalogue of MSME Products and 6) Product Order Barcodes In the next stage, namely the implementation stage, carried out after the E-Catalogue assessed by the validators both from material experts and also media expert validators. In addition, there is an improvement process from the suggestions given. Furthermore, the E-Catalogue was then tested on MSMEs with Disabilities in Denpasar City with a total of 20 (twenty) Persons with Disabilities who are involved in the MSME sector for further testing of materials in digital marketing activities. The results of this trial are used as a reference for researchers in improving the E-Catalogue that researchers have developed. Assessments are based on several aspects, namely: 1) content feasibility, 2) language, 3) usefulness, and 4) graphics.
The researcher carries out the evaluation stage after going through the process from the stages - previous stages. In developing this E-Catalogue, evaluation was carried out after obtaining some input from experts in the form of improvements that must be made by researchers based on the results of suggestions and responses from MSMEs with Disabilities to the development of the E-Catalogue, as well as evaluations of product development.
Responses from online questionnaire instruments aimed at media expert validators, material experts and evaluations of MSMEs with Disabilities are processed directly via the responses tab on the Google Form in tabular form. The Next results spreadsheet generated from the Google Form is downloaded directly and then processed by further researchers towards an average process. The following formula then calculates this quantitative data:

Where: R = average score; Vi = Sum of assessor scores; n = Number of appraisers.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
From this stage of analysis, researchers used an analysis process with the observation method in MSME activities, especially for Persons with Disabilities in Denpasar City, by researchers both individually and in groups through an interview process. Researchers also conducted interviews with MSMEs activists and observers with disabilities. Observations and interview processes conducted by researchers were carried out to find out how the materials were used, digital marketing activities for MSMEs with Disabilities and the use of creative ideas used to increase competitiveness in marketing by these MSMEs. The analysis carried out in this study was needs analysis, material analysis and also analysis on the characteristics of MSMEs with Disabilities. So far, MSMEs with disabilities still rely on references related to marketing through direct visualization obtained from several activities that they carry out from activities -sales activities carried out. In addition, some of them need help developing product/ service promotions so they can reach a wider market. Several references are used in developing the marketing process, but most are still trying to adapt to existing sources. As for the efforts made by the government to accommodate MSMEs with Disabilities to increase their competitiveness through an integrated MSME development center, there are several places to empower persons with disabilities to be creative and create new product innovations to the existence of facilities assistance in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility to support the competency development process, but there are still some in its implementation, there are several MSMEs that have not utilized digital marketing so that the competitiveness possessed by these MSMEs is still minimal.
At the design process stage, the next steps are carried out after going through the analysis stage by designing a digital marketing model through a QR Code-based E-Catalogue to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs with Disabilities in Denpasar City[10]. At this stage, the researcher designed the instrument to measure the E-Catalogue's feasibility. Design what was carried out included first compiling an outline of the contents of the E-Catalogue by setting 4 points, including QR Code Access, MSME Information, Product/Sell Information Access and Product/Sales Order Barcodes. At a later stage in compiling the framework of this E-Catalogue in general, it consists of two sections contained in the E-Catalogue. The first in the QR Code section, which in this section is formed into 2 sections for the profile of MSMEs in Denpasar City and MSMEs Products per MSMEs; the second part is information on MSMEs with disabilities in the form of Linktree; the first part is on access to product/sales info in digital form[4]. Enter the Disabled MSME product section, this section consists of information on product names, menus sold, prices, and visualization of images of these products. The next stage is the process of compiling the contents of the contents of the E-Catalogue. In this E-Catalogue, digital marketing content is first arranged in a link tree where consumers who attend or visit the MSMEs with Disabilities scan the available QR code. The process is easy but requires assistance accessing the QR code so that the QR Code reader system can read it. After that, the researchers sorted out the MSMEs with disabilities based on the area they were selling, the researchers divided them into four zones, namely North Denpasar, South Denpasar, West Denpasar and East Denpasar. After dividing it into each sub-district, the researcher drafted a list of MSME names complete with picture profiles, product names and addresses in each MSME profile[8]. This name can be accessed directly and goes directly to the E-Catalogue Menu, which is even more complete where there is a complete product menu, prices, explanations and access to orders[3]. The final step is to design an instrument that is designed using a Likert scale 5 questionnaire with answers ranging from Strongly Agree (SS), Agree (s), Neutral (N) and Disagree (TS) to Strongly Disagree (STS). The answers are then converted into a score of 1-5 according to the order of the statements from the answers.
In the initial development of this e-catalogue, the e-catalogue was developed using Microsoft Office Word to collect and compile material, questions for quizzes, and the summary
component[12]. In making the initial design for MSMEs with Disabilities, researchers used the Linktree application which contains various types of MSMEs with Disabilities in Denpasar City. In making the background design and cover of the e-catalogue, researchers used the Canva digital application to make evaluations using the Google form and barcodes using the QR Code Generator application [13]. Next, the e-catalog data file is moved in the design that was previously made through the Canva application, adding components in the form of ordering barcodes uploaded to the drive in the form of QR Barcodes. All of them are made into one file in the form of an e-catalogue which has been compiled in the Canva design and downloaded in pdf-format.
