The Worst Customer Service Narrative In The History Of Branding

The Worst Customer Service Narrative In The History Of Branding | Just Story It | Scoop.it

"In facilitating a branding workshop last week, it suddenly struck me. One of the great myths of branding is the big guys get it right.

Thanks to their ample war chests, they can hire the smartest people, maintain an endless flow of M&Ms during focus groups and stockpile creative types.

It’s just not true."

 

Yep -- don't do what United Airlines did! Did they share a narrative? Yes.  Is it a story? No. And the end result -- something awful.  This is a great example of what we DO NOT mean by 'business storytelling.'

Wait wait -- this does apply to business!

 

Do you ever have to instruct customers in the use of your product or how to use your service? Transfer knowledge about your product/service in any way?  If you do, then this article applies to you.

 

I like how the author gets us thinking about yet another application for business storytelling -- any educating we need to do with our customers, vendors, suppliers, etc.

 

There's good content about why telling stories in these situations is important, how to write a good story, and then gives ideas about moving that story into 5 different types of media.
