When you make a mistake, apologize quickly. Avoid giving
excuses, since this devalues the apology. Don’t attack the person
making the complaint, since it will make you look bad.

Mistakes happen, and saying you are sorry helps mitigate the
negative effects. Then take steps to make things right. Once you have done so, publicize the action on
social media.

If someone complained about a poor experience, offer him or her a discount code for your site and post it on the bulletin board where they
complained about the hotel.

If a bad batch was shipped, respond on the social media boards where
others complain about it and inform the readers of how to get a refund.

Research your customer base before you reach out to them.
Understand their demographics before you reach out to them. Your tone and content will vary
depending on who your visitors are.

Maintain your social network profiles and your activities online.
Don’t assume that creating a Facebook page and website is good enough. Studies show that around half of those who post comments
online expect a response.

This is especially true when someone posts a complaint on your hotel’s social media page, which is
the equivalent of the customer service survey or complaint box in a
restaurant.

Responding in a timely fashion to complaints on your website will
improve your hotel’s image.

And you’ll stand out, since most companies let
complaints languish before dozens have joined in the refrain.

Search for your hotel online using queries you expect your patrons to
use. You may find that your SEO needs improvement. Or you may discover websites dedicated to
complaining about your hotel, your products or your services.

Keep your social media professional. Consider the social media efforts a part of your public relations. And unlike a sales person offending a single person during a demo, the
social media postings are public and permanent.

Treat online postings as professional correspondence. Respond to
complaints as you would a formal letter requesting reimbursement for
poor service.

Be certain to use proper grammar and syntax. Readers will take your hotel down a notch if your hotel’s
online presence is littered with slang, abbreviations, misspellings
and errors.
