When you realize you meal is prepared in your presence, you will be more confident on trying the meal. This applies to your company since the more the transparency on your products and services, the higher the acceptance rate by the audience. McDonald’s is a brand with numerous negative reviews. To counter attack the negative publicity, McDonald’s creates a marketing campaign for transparency known as “ Your Questions on Our Food”, where all the audience questions will be answered.
10. Become The Friend
With social media, inquiries and brand issues can be solved and sorted out. It’s a personalized form of Customer Service just at the tap of a button.
