With almost 400 million monthly active users by the end of 2017 on Weibo, without a doubt, every foreigner brand would consider Weibo as an important social media channel to build up awareness in China. We can imagine if one brand could appear on the top search topics, it may be because they have successfully created a big issue, but on the other hand, the popularity maybe also comes from unexpected negative feedbacks which a small issue could turn into a serious PR disaster in the blink.
We can always learn from other’s case and prepare tailored social media crisis management for our own brand in advance, and this time we learn from Sesderma’s experience.
Sesderma hit No.27 on the Weibo top search topics
On the daily social media monitoring, we found that Sesderma, the well-known Spanish dermocosmetics brand was on the hot search list on Weibo, but they were dealing with the crisis out of a careless mistake in China. Their account has more than 7,000 fans, but the brand name search volume was 14 times more, we can assume the negative news brought in lots of people who aren’t familiar with the brand Sesderma before. What caused the PR crisis exactly? Let’s get back to where the issue started.
2/17 12 pm: Sesderma’s controversial post
Their intention was to educate the fans how to apply their product for a better result and created the post in a soft and self-deprecating way, but the critical part is they said “you” are poor and “you” don’t have money, so they misled the perspective and turned out to discriminate against the fans. Unfortunately, since then, the post started to accumulate passive comments in a quick-speed.
2/18 6 am: One user posted the negative feedback about Sesderma’s post (share:2,865 / comments:514 / likes:3,477)Not only the improper content, but the way Sesderma managed the issue. The user found Sesderma directly deleted the original post and without responding to fans’ anger. The post just went viral afterward, and it easily pushed Sesderma on the hot search list on Weibo.
2/18 8 pm: Sesderma apologized sincerely to their fans
After waiting for more than one day, Sesderma had an official post to apology for their careless mistake. According to the comments, most of the fans could accept and left their support notes, but Sesderma continued to occupy the hot search topic position, until late afternoon on 2/20. Social media crisis comes easily, but it’s definitely hard to disappear.
3 takeaway to prepare crisis management on social media in China
1/Respond timely and as long as the mistake is confirmed, a sincere apology and open communication is needed
In many cases, actually, the crises are avoidable, if we can manage the potential crisis timely, and organize the crisis management team if necessary with members from involved departments, to create a open dialogue with fans within 24 horas.
2/Self-deprecating humor is easily taking over on social media, but extra care and attention for this kind of content is crucial
Sometimes self-deprecating humor is delicate, it’s better the content can be viewed and checked by different people to taste the respond. And keep the first person perspective clearly through whole content, as we can see in the Sesderma’s case, as long as you change the perspective, self-deprecating post could backfire quickly.
3/Chinese local team represents the foreign brand in China, so it’s important to work closely with headquarter to deliver the brand value
Even though many foreign brands have local subsidiary or agency to execute all the Chinese market marketing communications in China, but work integrally and have regular meeting is essential to keep both parts on the same track towards the ultimate success.

Thanks for your article. I would also like to say that your health insurance agent also works best for the benefit of the actual coordinators of the group insurance policies. The health agent is given a summary of benefits desired by anyone or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker will is seek out individuals or even coordinators which in turn best complement those wants. Then he gifts his ideas and if all sides agree, the actual broker formulates a legal contract between the 2 parties.
Great article and right to the point. I am not sure if this is truly the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to get some professional writers? Thanks in advance 🙂

They include things like pattern acceptance, colors, creatures, and patterns. These typically focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This will keep little children occupied without experiencing like they are learning. Thanks

In the great pattern of things you’ll get an A just for effort and hard work. Where you actually confused me was in all the facts. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be more true here. Having said that, allow me inform you just what exactly did work. The article (parts of it) is actually pretty powerful and that is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can see the jumps in logic you make, I am not sure of just how you appear to unite the ideas which inturn make the actual final result. For right now I will yield to your issue but hope in the near future you link your dots much better.
I have been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It?s lovely worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.

Thanks for the recommendations on credit repair on your web-site. Some tips i would advice people will be to give up the mentality that they may buy now and shell out later. Being a society most of us tend to do that for many things. This includes family vacations, furniture, and items we want. However, you should separate your current wants from all the needs. While you are working to raise your credit score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example it is possible to shop online to save money or you can visit second hand outlets instead of high priced department stores intended for clothing.
Hiya, I am really glad I’ve found this info. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and web and this is actually irritating. A good website with interesting content, that’s what I need. Thanks for keeping this site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.
