Case Study: United Airlines Loses Millions on Social Media
In the Spring of 2008, United Airlines customer, Dave Carroll, witnessed baggage handlers throwing his $3,500 Taylor guitar. When Carroll finally reached his destination he opened his guitar case to find the guitar had in-fact been broken. For nine months he called customer support to receive compensation for his broken instrument. Finally, when he received his final “no” he vowed to make a music video about his negative experience and post it on the web for all to see.
