1. Listening Online and Offline

    Thursday, 12 Nov 2009 6 Comments Posted by:

    Two days ago I wrote a post, Personal Touch, about a WOM (Word of Mouth)  moment during my stay at Omni Hotel, Fort Worth Texas.

    The WOM moment was set in motion because Omni listened (offline at the Fort Worth site) really well about my interest in their Select Guest program. But then they also listened online by monitoring mentions of their brand – LOVE IT!

    Here is tweet exchange with my blog post and their two replies:

      Sean,
      I had friend here have great experience with Omni as well. He tweeted that he would love to “borrow” one of the nice robes they have for sale in the rooms and took a photo of it. He has many followeres (12K+) and the WOM grew during the day. When he got back to the room Omni gave him a robe with a thank you note. Also they responded on Twitter when he first posted showing that they are listening to what customers are saying about their brand.
