Are you thinking the same? It would be foolish if we don′t advertise on social media? Right? Well‚ it″s not just advertising.
I was standing in line to check in at Las Vegas′ then-trendiest hotel in town‚ the Aria Resort & casino‚ for nearly an hour. it was june 2010‚ and I had just arrived after a six-hour flight from New Your. The last thing I wanted to do was waste an hour of my life waiting in line. Frustrated‚ I pulled out my BlackBerry and tweeted‚ “No Vegas hotel could be worth this long wait. Over an hour to check in at the Aria!”
Interestingly enough‚ the Aria didn′t tweet to me‚ but a cmpetitor did. I saw a tweet from the Rio Hotel & Casino just two minutes later. if you′re anything like most people with whom I′ve shared this story‚ you′re probably thinking‚ “what did the Rio tweet‚ ‘Come on over-We have no line?’”
Had the Rio tweeted such a message‚ I would have likely felf annoyed by them‚ too‚ as if they were stalkers or some creepy characters looking to manipulate me and benefit from my bad experience. On the Contrary‚ however, the Rio tweeted the following to me. “Sorry about the bad experience‚ Dave. Hope the rest of your stay in Vegas goes well.”
Gyess where I ended up staying the next time I went to Las Vegas?
What do you think? Of course he went straight to Rio next time. You can read the full story by Dave Kerpen here.
