Consumer Reactions to Social Media Brand Blunders
This research explores how brand blunders - humorous and accidental business mistakes - that take place on social media influence consumers’ attitudes and relationship with the brand. Two studies show that loyal (vs. non-loyal) consumers are more negatively influenced by blunders as they think blunders are not funny but offensive.
