Week 3 A


Have you ever experienced difficulty communicating with a business?

With an e-commerce type of business, no. I’ve been really lucky with online purchases. I tend to buy my online goods from stores with high reviews or have a good rating with the BBB board. Any shipping issues that I have encountered in the past, or wrong product received type issues are always handled in a timely and professional manner.


Does social media make it easier to get noticed or get your problem solved?

Yes, social media makes it easier for companies to see your complaint or praise and respond accordingly. Like once when I had a really bad experience at a Restaurant and posted said experience on Yelp. The restaurant management team replied to me personally with an apology and offered a free dine-in coupon for my next visit. Since social media is extremely popular with everyday people brands with a good marketing team should use social media to address any positive or negative reviews about their company, before it turns into a major issue.

Have you ever had a positive experience communicating with a business through social media?

Although I rarely post reviews on social media, overall, I have had positive experiences when communicating with a business through the social media platforms. I find it extremely effective to go straight to the source itself. Probably because they want to avoid any negative feedback on social sites. Ultimately, through social media, companies can get a better understanding of what their customers want. Additionally, through feedback received on social sites, companies can effectively implement changes to their business platform accordingly.

If it was your own business on social media, how would you respond to positive or negative comments?

I would first listen to my customer's feedback. I would get a better understanding of their complaint before acknowledging their problem. I would also do my due diligence by researching as much as I can about their inquiry and gather as many facts as possible. From there I would provide a solution to their issue. I would also confirm with them that the resolution provided addresses their needs and resolves their problem.

Describe what made your experience negative or positive.

When I posted a bad review on Yelp about my restaurant experience, I felt the management team listened to my woes, and responded accordingly to my complaint. Being listened to will ultimately make any experience more positive. Companies that understand your complaint and follow through with an effective solution makes the consumer feel like their opinion is valued. Companies that jump the gun and respond half hardly would definitely make an already bad situation turn even worst.

    Nice addition of graphics in your post. They provides additional interest and enhances the communication.
    You must communicate well and are doing something right to have such good experiences. And/or you choose what companies give patron to quite well.
    Thanks for the well written and presented article.

    I have to agree with Olive, I believe you must be great with communicating with businesses, and must be doing something right to have a high turnout with their customer service. Maybe I can learn a thing, or two? Honestly, that's great though! Also, I've found that my customer service is elevated when it comes to companies based online. I believe this is an even more important aspect to business solely online, because that's their only source of revenue. Brick and mortar could use some tips as of lately, in my opinion.

    Hi Chad,

    Sounds like you like to do your do diligence when buying online, good for you! Much like you, I don't post review, positive or negative. Although after taking this class I think I will be more active reviewing, or posting just to try and see if any one is listening. See you around!

Week 10 A - Appealing To Peoples Emotions

When writing a blog, in the beginning, you are basically faceless. By letting people know there is an actual person behind the words on the screen can spark a connection with you and the customer. Ultimately, adding human interest to your blog allows your readers to connect with you and your business in a more personal and relatable way. For me, reading a blog post that is similar to a personal life experience draws me in to read more. I am also emotionally connected with the writer and become more engaged with their content. Effective human-interest blogs can result in your company differentiating itself from their competition. When a human-interest post is well written, it will captivate their audience, and through its uniqueness, produce a bigger fan base and consumer interaction. A human-interest post may be less effective if you are guest blogging for a company. Especially if you are writing from the standpoint of your own personality while disregarding the company’s ...

Week 15 A

Under Data Activation, the Audience Demographics would integrate well with my company. I would use this feature to learn more about who is viewing my website and need my services.
