friendly and provide all the details for which the business is functioning. The company Milton Sandford

However, website is a go to space for the companies because this helps the consumers to collect the
information about the brand because it has been estimated that around 90 percent of people founds the
website useful to find out the local businesses according to Frank Depino. If a company like Milton Sandford
Wines will not be having a website then the people would not be able to find out that whether such type of business
exist in the market or not (Rana and et. al., 2020). So, making the website is very important in the beginning rather
then to use the social media channels(Jain, 2019). In the website, About Us is providing the information
regarding the time when it was developed and who are their customers including the contact details.
On the other side, If the company is having the presence of its business on social media then they would be
able to collect information about the existing competition according to Frank Depino. The company is
having its presence in Facebook in which company has information in About which will be helpful for
consumers to take the information. The Facebook will provide not just the information to consumers but it
will also be providing the pictures of company and the type of wine which they provide. (Sayyad and et.
al., 2018). The theory of relationship marketing will be considered as better because with that only the
interactive and personalised communications can be developed with the consumers(Website vs Social
Media – Which Is Better For Your Company?, 2020) .
Customer relationship management (CRM) is related with the practices, strategies which is used by the companies
in order to manage the customer interactions with the company. Milton Sandford Wines have used different
strategies which will be helpful in developing good relations and interactions with the consumers. They make the
use of CRM to track the consumers interaction with the business which helps in storing the wide range of data. The
company have also developed the strategy for value added content creation(Sheremetyeva, Gorshkova and
Mitropolskaya-Rodionova, 2021).
Recommended actions
Milton Sandford Wines is famous for the wine which they provide to people, hotels, restaurants providing the
highest quality boutique wines to people. Comparing the company in terms of providing wines to people is amazing
but the social media presence of it is not much great as compared to the other same business who are providing
wines.
1. Internet marketing-
 The internet marking or the online presence is good but not that much great so there are different actions
which must be taken by Milton Sandford wines in which they must develop their online presence which is
accessible to every individual and not just to particular people (Popkova and Gulzat, 2019).
 Even after the use of different channels of online marketing which is used by company it is very important
that they are taking time to manage all their media channels. The company is having its social media
presence where they are having their website but they must explore new areas of expanding the business
so that they can also establish their brand image.
2. Content- Milton Sandford Wines can take actions in terms of creating the content which is most valuable and people
can easily connect with it. It is because there are many social media advertisements which are made by
the businesses but only few are able to develop the connections with people.
Recommendation-
In short, the business of Milton Sandford Wines is not developed as much as compared to that of other businesses
who are also doing their business in another countries. People have now become more towards this thing of
knowing the things which are shown to them as they do not want to make any much effort towards collecting the
information(Diamond, 2019).Milton Sandford Wines must think of the audience before preparing and making the
selection of the channels with which they want to provide the information to people about their existing business
and the types of wines which they are providing it to people (Oktiyani, 2020).The company can also make the
development of the social media connections because developing this will help in getting more attention
of people towards the brand. This network can be developed only when the company is increasing its
presence on social media.
