http://www.theprbusiness.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Drew Kerr's The PR Business. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Gas to the fire: how not to respond to angry customers. Sometimes companies gamble on a product or idea, whether they aware of it or not, and the results can possibly backfire. At those times, you have to suck it up and admit you may have been wrong, and here's how you will fix it for the immediate future. It's crisis communications 101. Before I even cracked the first page, I thought to myself, "Uh oh.". Who are these beauty pros, how many nomination...
