Overview of today’s presentation
Shock value -- Stakeholders and protests
Abercrombie & Fitch J.C. Penney .Anti-spokesperson T-shirt designed for girls 7-16
“We agree that the “Too pretty” t-shirt does not
deliver an appropriate message, and we have
immediately discontinued its sale.
Our merchandise is intended to appeal to a broad
customer base, not to offend them.
We would like to apologize for any concern we may
have caused and assure you that we are taking action
to ensure that we continue to uphold the integrity of
our merchandise that [our customers] have come to
expect.”
Penney’s statement after over 1,600 signed protest letter on change.org:
Playing (badly) from the social media handbook. . .
Overnight blog entry,
YouTube video, and emails to
customers announced
business split -
Rebranding of DVD to
Qwikster –
And price hike for most
customers.
RESULT: Consumer protest
In two months --lost half its value
Backlash, petitions, protests
CEO (BADLY) apologized via blog and video with “business school banter”
“The Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust.
We know it will not be overnight.
Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.”
Other Nonviolent Protests, 2011
