Always try to turn a negative into a positive one!

One of the cleverest things that brands can do is turn negative reviews, comments or experiences into something positive.

A great example is when Orangina tackled the sediment issue at the bottom of the bottles by encouraging consumers to, “shake the bottle to wake the drink.“

Any publicity is good publicity. Luckily, today on social media, EVERY comment/reaction/interaction, whether good or bad, gives the subject more visibility.

Remember, there is opportunity in everything. You just have to look for it.

As a business owner, this is a great way to pay it forward."The older gentleman in this picture noticed the younger one reading a book. And just sat down and asked him questions about the book and what his next steps are as far as his education and future.

Then he took his information and offered him mentorship and opportunities. Now these two men don't know one another at all. But I share this because this is what's missing.

This is not shown by media. THIS is what needs to be done! It was amazing for me to see this on my train ride into work. Might not mean much to some. But to those that see will see the bigger picture, this is for you. Remember, "Each one, Teach one". Have a blessed day."
