Such was the case for this Digg story , which compared multiple web hosting companies and watched as these hosts handled the traffic spikes that resulted from the Digg effect. Note how I bolded a specific term: web hosting. The issue at hand is not the fact that the company was virtually unknown.

3: Large Brands – Bigger brands have two things that smaller companies don’t: an already built community, and money. 4: Online Driven Companies – Social media can be used to drive traffic to online websites. I would add that social media has changed the game for companies. It’s rubbish traffic.

It’s incredibly easy for someone to put up a web page and show how much they like or dislike a company. You’ll get exposure to case studies of companies that do this well and review cases of companies where listening severe impacted the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. It doesn’t end there, though.

Many companies partake in this “shiny toy syndrome&# and do it all without a plan or strategy in place. This may be nothing more than a refresher course in the Captain Obvious department but even the savviest of companies is still missing the boat. A lot of big companies I try to engage with don’t want to talk back.

To be sure, though, solicit feedback from a group of trusted peers not directly involved in your company or marketing objectives before going ahead with publishing the video, since you need an unbiased opinion. Ideally, if you cover ground on at least two of these traits, your video might have a good chance of success.

Here are three cases that were blown way out of proportion but could have been handled a lot better if the companies thought of the consequences before acting. There’s a bottom line: it’s a lot harder to sweep your mistakes under the rug, especially as a company in a world of conversing markets.

Companies have to engage with their buyers, especially the early adopters, and make sure they’re happy.

Marketing type folk, especially those representing a company’s service or product offerings, turn to blogs and ask to be mentioned in the blog. Instead of emailing a blogger to include your company’s service in a specific blog post that has already been in the public arena for three years, comment on the post. Great stuff!
