Social Media : Best Practice ( Part 2 )
This is in continuation with the first post which I wrote on 19th Feb { http://socialmediaclub.org/chapter/pune/blog/social-media-best-practice}
(there was no intention to continue with the second part but sigh my problem was not solved )
I did receive immediate tweets / messages from the three brands in the question but after the standard message “We will revert to you and look into it “ nothing came up. It was really sad to see that these three brands lost the opportunity to mend the things. They might have thought the complaint caused by a bad experience at their outlet will die its natural death.
Anyways , I can just hope that other brands are not following into their footsteps and know how to close the loop on a customer complaint.
I read something very interesting related to this topic today : ( courtesy: http://bit.ly/10keZs5 )
Foursquare and you
Unless you use an app , you will not understand how good or bad it is or how much relevant it is for you on a regular long term basis ..
Today is 16th April and it’s a Foursquare day(http://4sqday.com/)..Lets do a refresher one on what is Foursquare ?(https://foursquare.com/about/)
Foursquare is a free app that helps you and your friends make the most of where you are. When you're out and about, use Foursquare to share and save the places you visit. And, when you're looking for inspiration for what to do next, we'll give you personalized recommendations and deals based on where you, your friends, and people with your tastes have been.Whether you're setting off on a trip around the world, coordinating a night out with friends, or trying to pick out the best dish at your local restaurant, Foursquare is the perfect companion.
Social Media : Best Practice ( Part1 )
There are certain best practices we follow in our personal and professional lives in relation to the communication medium which we use.For example :
- You receive a call , but you are not able to take it.You give a call back to that person later when you are free
-You receive an email and if the sender has clearly mentioned that he needs certain answers from you , you reply back
- You receive a text message and depending on the nature of the message , you reply or do not reply
Social Media is no different in this regard.If a user didn't receive the kind of service / response which he was expecting from you and posts message on Social Media , a RESPONSE is REQUIRED.
Here I am referring to genuine displeasure and where a consumer is in his limits to post his unhappiness ( of course no bad words.I am a strong believer that no swear words should be used while posting your comments )

TCS mAGnify Panel Discussion on Social Media
It’s fun to be always on the other side of the table ! Setting the context right away , so far in the capacity of SMCPune , I had organised Panel Discussions , but to be one of the panellists that was one of the task in itself.I can assume the anxiety of a teacher as in what questions the student will ask !!
This panel discussion was a part of the “mAGnify initiative “ which is an internal knowledge share session TCS organizes on items of interest to the IT/banking and financial services community, across locations where they have such tech/BFS presence. As part of this initiative they planned to hold a panel discussion on "Social Media & its Impact on IT & Banking & Financial Services" in Pune on June 21.
