Reputation management
When companies receive a lot of complaints, are discussed negatively online, and/or the consumer in general has a negative image of your company, it’s important to take immediate action. A bad image has a direct influence on the sales and (financial) success of your company. It’s important that all online messages are responded to and that this is done quickly and in the right way.
Social media plays an important role in reputation management. It has a major and direct influence on the image of a company and should absolutely be used properly to maintain and increase a positive image.
Preventing complaints and negative statements on the internet is at least as important as responding to them. Solving problems before the customer contacts customer service is a good example of this. Where necessary, you can even choose to proactively approach the customer to notify them of a problem. This creates trust and a closer relationship with your customers.

A positive image
A good image is not only good for direct sales, but it also provides free publicity. Studies have shown that customers are not just influenced by the image of a particular company, but also by recommendations from acquaintances and by user experiences that they see on social media.
By providing correct information and by dealing with online complaints and negative messages properly, you can maintain or improve the image of your company. Existing customers keep coming back, share their satisfaction online and you reap the rewards.
How does that work? Research has shown that an (unexpected) positive experience with a company causes customers to speak positively about that company to friends, acquaintances, and colleagues. Even if there was a complaint at first. Satisfaction in your existing customers ensures a better online representation of your company and will lead to higher sales figures.
