Dave & Buster's Just Posted a Tweet It's Going to Regret for a Long Time

Dave & Buster's Just Posted a Tweet It's Going to Regret for a Long Time | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
And your massive brand Twitter fail of the day goes to … Dave & Buster's!


To advertise its Taco Tuesday, the restaurant chain made a joke that pretty clearly went over the line, prompting incredulity from its Twitter followers. "I hate tacos, said no Juan ever," the tweet read.
Obviously, this isn't the first time a brand has tweeted out something outrageous—in this case, racist. But the question remains: How does this kind of stuff make it into the actual world?...

Marketing never seems to learn its lessons.  Bad PR and marketing fail of the day.

William Weise's curator insight, October 23, 2014 2:19 PM

I think it is very true that many businesses don’t do enough focus on the quality of their followers, but rather on the quality. They judge themselves by the number of their followers, but they don’t take into account whether their followers are actually paying attention to their posts. It is important to keep posting content regularly that engages the audience. If you don’t keep making interesting posts, you are bound to eventually lose your audience. It is a common mistake that marketers make that once they have followers, they have customers which is not true. It is their responsibility to make the followers their customers. I believe it’s also wise to limit a company to 3 or 4 platforms and too just use the ones that are highly relevant instead of being all over the lower tier ones. Your brand on social media needs to have a personality. Personalities are what make people unique and they are, also what can make a business unique.
