The backlash on Facebook from the owners account spiked the fan growth of the company’s Facebook page to over 45000 in less than one day. Naturally it was not the restaurant that was receiving the fan support, but the entertaining responses from the owners that attracted so much attention. To make matters worse, rather than own up to the responses, Amy and her husband posted this:
The GOOD- The common characteristics of making mistakes connect with the audience, feeling as if the brand understands them and are like them instead of trying to fool or deceive you into buying something, which is the perception consumers have about advertising that it is miscivious. It can happen to anybody, we are all publishers now.Good publicityThe BAD-As consumers of these social strategies, we must ask ourselves where the line between offensive and strategic is drawn. Where is your line?They focus on creating buzz through outdoor advertisement instead of through media, the buzz is their media advertisement.
