Pelatihan ini mencakup materi tentang tata cara mendesain produk yang inovatif beserta cara marketing yang tepat. Dari data pre-test dan post-test, didapatkan hasil bahwa pemahaman warga atas inovasi produk naik dari 60 persen menjadi 69,7 persen. Dari peningkatan pemahaman ini diharapkan program ini dapat meningkatkan daya saing produk pandai besi Desa Mekarmaju di pasar lokal maupun nasional di masa depan.
