With respect to the reliability of the instrument constructed for the variables used, they were analyzed and approved by means of Cronbach's Alpha system, resulting in a high reliability, which allowed us to collect data for the research study to be conducted in the Mifruty Juicery. Similarly, according to statistical tests, 9 % of respondents consider that Mifruty Juicery regularly employs digital marketing, being the social networks and the company's website poorly managed due to its few and not so striking contents, so they fail to meet the expectations of its customers. Likewise, 17 % of the respondents consider a regular positioning in the market, so by implementing the right marketing strategies the positioning would rise.
