		<description>You hint at it above, but it might be helpful to clarify that branding is not only about defining what you do, but also about signaling a relevant difference between you and your competitors that matters to your participants.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s worse than empty promises delivered only to me.  

I&#039;ve told two people.  Who&#039;ve told two people.  Who&#039;ve blogged to thousands.  And so on. And so on.

Uh oh Best Buy.  Watch the viral grow.</description>

		<description>Ron, You&#039;re correct...but trust is also an issue - and solely relying on tactics like social media won&#039;t bridge the trust/relationship issue.  Companies like Northeast Information Systems are dedicated to building personal relationships.  New marketing techniques will help gather and build community, and for service-oriented businesses, pairing with a well-conceived sales process and personal contact - online and offline - will likely be requisite for success in 2010.</description>

		<description>Hi Steve,
  Conventional marketing, but won&#039;t there be more focus on changing what media to employ (out with newspaper/TV/radio and in with social networking). My question is: how would it work with my business.

		<description>First, use the same advertising venues – particularly the Lego Club, to thank everyone, and state plainly and apologetically (though not overly) that they were unprepared for the numbers that turned out.

Second, as a token of their gratitude for the exceptional turn out, and as a consolation for those that couldn’t get in or were disappointed, provide some type of promotional product, coupon, discount, etc. Send them to a website to redeem and capture a few bits of attitudinal data.
Make sure everyone is still okay. The survey could be structured to highlight the really pissed off folks – this could trigger a more personalized apology. Best you can do. Can’t change the past and some people are just pissy

Finally, prepare better next year.</description>
