Instagram: IT Foods have no presence in Instagram
LinkedIn: No profile is seen on LinkedIn for IT Foods Co., Ltd
Twitter: IT Foods is not seen on Twitter as well
I.T Foods are not so active in social media marketing, as they prefer to reach their customers directly and through their word of mouth. It will be better if IT Foods starts to be more active on social media to gain more customers’ attention.
SEO Strategies
The number of organic keywords in search engines stands at 84 as of now. This indicates the organic keywords level of their website is extremely low.

Hence a developed approach has to be undertaken by the company in developing their SEO strategy.
Influencer Marketing
Influencer Marketing is used by a company when they have an ambassador of their own to promote their products.
IT Foods Co., Ltd have no such influencer for their marketing strategy, as they are not dependent on any external agencies for marketing their products. Instead, they rely on their way of traditional marketing platforms.
E-commerce Strategies
I.T Foods Co., LTD doesn’t have an online selling portal for its products. However, their focus is mainly on traditional marketing which still depends upon the wholesaler and retailer markets and B2B business system.
Companies that sell products or services to various businesses or companies normally use B2B marketing strategies. But it will be better if they will start an eCommerce platform so that it will increase their credibility in front of their customers.
Mobile Apps
I.T Foods Co., Ltd have not developed any mobile apps on their own, as they had not felt any need for them. They largely target the local customers for marketing their products and they directly reach their customers. IT Foods lacks this part of marketing, it will help the company if they will develop the mobile apps and interact with customers directly regarding their products.
Content Marketing Strategies
Content marketing is a marketing strategy used to entice, engage, and secure an audience by creating and sharing relevant articles, videos, podcasts, and other media. This strategy establishes expertise, promotes brand knowledge, and keeps your business top of mind when it’s time to buy what you sell.
IT Foods focuses on other content strategies like conferences and exhibitions since they direct their content to other businesses and not directly to the public. They excel in blog writing for awareness of their company. IT Foods’s social media content strategy isn’t strong. They post rarely on Facebook and they aren’t active on Youtube.

What’s Unique in IT Foods’ Marketing?
I.T Foods Co., LTD has been one of the best and leading producers of frozen food products in the world which has its strong base in Thailand.

The undeveloped nature of those platforms and the industry’s inactiveness in social media like Facebook serve as a major limitation for the industry. Hence, the company has a huge scope for development and a long way to go.
