GAP, Inc. : Social Media = Direct Feedback!
• Oct ‘10 – Gap, Inc. posted a redesigned logo to their website in anticipation of a marketing campaign and updating some stores.
• Within a few days of posting the logo, Gap had 1000’s of negative postings to their Facebook Fan page and Twitter account.
• RESULT: Gap has pulled the logo! Customer Sentiment …
1 "Gap's new logo stirs outrage from customers," San Francisco Chronicle, 08 October 2010, online.
"People talk about it being bland and having a more corporate feel," Spier said. "But the other thing I found interesting was the number of people expressing nostalgia for the old label, saying it's classic or classy, or had an old-school feel to it.1"
Contrast: Southwest Airlines vs. Kevin Smith
• Watches and responds to @thatkevinsmith offering help and to talk through the situation
• Blogs their side (@southwestair) of the story which includes the fact that Kevin was on “standby for an earlier flight!”
The Enterprise is catching on to Social Media!
• “The ants have megaphones!”– Steve Kaay, US Auto Parts
• “We met our SLA’s and Failed!”– John Belanger, Yahoo, talking about a Customer Service
debacle regarding #pleasehelppiper
• “Outsourcing is not an option! In Social Media authenticity is key and only you can provide that!”– Harvard Business Review, November 2010 talking about

No one department “owns” the customer ...• Most Social Media / Networking Tools are geared /
focused on the CMO and Marketing Department, but ...– Marketing needs to be involved, this is a channel to
Inform and Entertain about your Products and Services– Sales also needs to be involved, they’re the best to
seek out “commercial intent” as well as potential leads, etc.
– Contact Center / Customer Service as well as they are TRAINED to deal with Customer Issues/Inquiries in both good and bad situations.
– Others??? – Corporations must avail themselves!
Not just Monitor – ACTION!
• Most tools were built on the concept of Monitor and React ... CREDboard is built for ACTION:– Can Start/Update a Conversation/Status online– Can watch for trends and Alerts and activate MULTIPLE
responders (SMS, Tweets, Email, CTI events, etc.)– Can “spawn” events in any of the above media-types to
proactively engage customers– ... And, of course, we can REACT too! ;)
Built in the Cloud, for the Cloud!
• Based on our proven FlexxBridge in the Cloudtm technology. Every interaction is standardized and aggregated through FBitC.– Allows fast, tight integration to new/different Social Media
API’s/capabilities– Single tool provides consistent interface for rapid changes /
additions
• Multi-Tenanted: Multiple employees for a given customer can View/Monitor/Update a single “Corporate Brand” ID – all with Logging!
