Ask any of the current corporate residents in the social media Hall of Shame, and they’ll tell you that bad things can happen—in the Blink of an Eye. Companies that are prepared stand a better chance of containing the crisis and recovering faster. When asked, 94% of crisis executives said the unprepared left themselves open for Trial by Twitter, a court that shows no mercy and has no appeals.
Sure. You can play the odds. Maybe your company won’t get hit by a crisis. But do you really want to take a chance with your company’s reputation? Almost 80% of global executives in a recent study believed they were just six to 12 months away from a potential crisis.
- Goldman Sachs played the odds, and saw their valuation plummet $12.4 billion in one afternoon as a result of fraud allegations.
- Apple played the odds, and their valuation dropped $5.08B on the heels of a bad iPhone 4 review.
- Toyota played the odds, and their valuation fell $30B in four weeks following a major car recall.
- Chipotle played the odds, and lost $1.0B in value in just four days after a norovirus outbreak.
Only in the digital age can you take what was once the exclusive purview of pricey consultants, and make it affordable for virtually any company to have a crisis plan. Blink OnDemand Crisis PR™ software took a zero out of the pricing equation. A crisis plan this comprehensive would easily cost between $150,00-$300,000 prepared by a traditional agency. But Blink can be yours for a fraction of that price.
