BoA Shows How Not to Defend a Reputation Against a WikiLeak

WikiLeak has been promising to release information that will be very damaging to a large financial institution. The site has been coy about the name, but it is widely believed that Bank of America is the institution in question. The bank has said it doesn’t know what the leak could be – but apparently it is readying for some kind of bombshell by registering domain names that could possibly be used to criticize or make fun of it. In recent days it has taken "hundreds" of d  [...]

Overestimating the Wisdom of the Crowd

The Gap's attempt to launch a new logo was a failure – at least judging from the comments about it online. Within hours of its release, the retailer hinted on its own Facebook page it might be willing to scrap the two-year project in favor of a design submitted by the public. "We know this logo created a lot of buzz and we're thrilled to see passionate debates unfolding! So much so we're asking you to share your designs. We love our version, but we'd l  [...]

ReturnPath: Don't Ignore a Customer Who Ignores You

One mistake e-mail marketers make is to ignore customers who show no interest in their e-mails - and continue to send out messages with the same frequency, ReturnPath says. In a new study that follows up its 2008 survey of e-mail practices among e-commerce companies, ReturnPath found most retailers did exactly that - sending as many as 9 to 11 messages per month to inactive subscribers. None of the com  [...]

Will Apple Communicate Better With Its Customers? Its First Twitter Account Suggests It Wants To

Mistakes were made, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said - and not just by Apple. Thus began Apple's expected apology over the antenna reception problems that have been plaguing the iPhone 4. In a press conference held Friday morning, Jobs sought to portray the weakness in the iPhone 4's antenna as an issue that affects all mobile phones, the Los Angeles Times wrote.

Hotels Go On Offensive Against Negative Reviews

Hotels are taking a particularly aggressive stance against anonymous reviews found on such sites as Yelp or Trip Advisor by actively trying to connect the data dots to identify the author. Once the hotel has identifying information in hand it might thank the poster for the good review - perhaps with a gift basket. In the case of a negative review, it might send an email asking for either a reconsideration or a chance to readdress what was wrong with the person’s stay,   [...]

How Not to Run an Online Promotion

It is becoming more instructive to see how not to run a social media campaign than how to pull off a successful one.
