What lessons, if any, do you derive from these stories?
Considering our business, if you don’t have a strong online reputation, then you will loose serious ROI on any marketing or advertising once consumers check your business out online. If you have negative or low ranking reviews about your business, products or services then you will have a high bounce rate and loose customers to your closest competitors.
