Internet Marketing Firm – How it can help in reputation crises

The two videos of some of the kitchen staff of KFC Malaysia are increasingly getting popular also because of the response of KFC Malaysia’s director of restaurant operations to the videos and the medium the director chose to address the issue to the public.

An increasing number of social media marketing professionals are quoting this incident and the reply in their latest blog posts in an attempt to redemonstrate the power of social media. While there is no denying to the fact that social media sites can help a business immensely in many ways, it is nevertheless a medium that requires efforts before it can be truly beneficial to businesses. KFC Malaysia was a popular business, but what about small and even some medium-sized businesses? What if they face such a crisis? Would they be able to use social media sites as effectively as KFC Malaysia did?

The answer to these questions is yes, thanks to the internet marketing firms providing professional social media management services.

If a small or medium-sized business faces the KFC Malaysia-like crisis, the internet marketing firm that manages social media for it will make sure that the response reaches a wide audience. In fact, the internet marketing firm would also help such a business in coming up with a convincing social media response.

Depending on when it was hired, the internet marketing firm of a business in reputation crisis would have already done the home work i.e. would have created a large following over different popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google + etc, to convey any message from the business such as a response to a crisis to a wide audience.

One very important lesson that businesses of all sizes can learn from the crisis faced by KFC Malaysia and the response is that a business shouldn’t wait for the crisis to happen and then seek large social media following so that the response can be conveyed to a large number of people also including potential clients. Businesses of all sizes must have an internet marketing firm at their side at all times. A professional internet marketing firm not only stays busy in marketing its client’s business, but also comes in handy at the time of crisis.
