The Web may possibly have opened worlds for corporations and buyers, but it has also created a public relations nightmare for businesses. Forums, opinion Web sites, blogs, and something that is publishable can smear a company's name in moments.

Keep in mind, "Yours Is a Quite Negative Hotel" presentation that described 1 customer's undesirable expertise with a hotel chain? Hotels are run by humans. Humans make errors. It is how you handle the blunders that can make the distinction in client service. Since the hotel's staff did not attempt to help the client overcome a bad circumstance, the client lashed back and bloggers blogged it.

If the hotel is on leading of its game, it would unleash its crisis management (also identified as reputation management) team to salvage its reputation while it can. It's attainable for a company to overcome bad PR and come out ahead as in the situation of PG&E (California's Pacific Gas and Electric firm).

Yet another technique is to use Web monitoring to monitor on the internet articles with regards to a company's activities to prepare for negative publicity. Some go additional and monitor chat rooms, newsgroups, and online discussion forums.

It really is like the story of the town gossip who spread false stories about its people. One day, he felt terrible and went to the chaplain [Rabbi, pastor, priest, or other &mdash take your choose] to ask for forgiveness. The chaplain mentioned,"I will forgive you, but you have to do some thing first."

"Take a feather pillow, cut it open, and scatter the feathers to the winds." The man thought this was a strange request, but it was a basic enough activity, and he did it gladly. When he returned to tell the chaplain that he had completed it, the chaplain said, "Now, go and gather the feathers. Because you can no much more make amends for the damage your words have accomplished than you can recollect the feathers."

The identical can occur to a business with out a crisis management plan in spot. It's achievable to survive the crisis and thrive as PG&E did. Do not expect Worldcom to pull out of its Enron-like mess. Fraud is not excusable. And Martha Stewart? She has hired a public relations strategist firm in an effort to do damage manage. It'll be worth watching to see what happens in her situation and how the PR firm attempts to save her reputation. Did you know there is a recall on a single of her merchandise? Adds fuel to the fire, doesn't it? address
