I'm making mobile apps currently and find it really cool to implement QR codes into them. I'm amazed at QR code coupons Snappii app builder allows to create. They are really helpful for small businesses. QR code is a great invention people made. I’m making mobile apps currently and find it really cool to implement QR codes into them.

I have recently been working with a number of law firms consulting them in why and how to integrate social media marketing into their overall marketing strategy. I find this one of the more fascinating industries to work with because of the liabilities involved. One must be so careful as to not overstep the boundaries of giving too much information where it becomes legal advice and leaves the law firm/lawyer vulnerable. Also wanted to note...I am writing my own blog post referencing your content but I can not seem to find your trackback url. I will check back for a response or you can email me and let me know and I will add it later. Thanks! Great post.

I always stick to the facts, and have pictures to back up what I'm talking about. The responses I got from each was interesting. The first one got almost no response except I heard through the grapevine that instead of addressing my main issue in a positive way he decided to dodge the issue by decreasing his value of the product. The second got me an email from the vice president of the organization, and as it's a national company that stunned me, apologizing and having the district manager follow up with me on all the problems I saw; that was nice. I was obviously left with a better impression of the second company than the first, and will give them a second try because of it. I’ve never received a bad review but I’ve written a couple.

On many sites, there's not a means of contacting users directly which means that the apology has to be public. If you have a choice between a public and a private apology? I would post a public one, to show that you've handled the situation. I would also contact the person directly to ensure they actually saw your message. Something along the lines of "I responded to your review, but I wasn't sure if you saw it so I just wanted to reiterate..." so on and so forth. It's actually against the terms of service of sites like Yelp and Google Places to post fake criticisms, and there are means of reporting reviews you think might be fabricated. However, most people using these sites have pure intentions: they liked something or they didn't like it, and they just want to pass along that knowledge to help other people.

Question about the apology: private or public? I see pros and cons to both. Private: others don't see how responsive you are. Public: freeloaders post fake criticisms to get freebies/discounts.
