I read about this news from Yahoo "Food blogger who demands free meal sparks outrage online".
This incident taught us one thing - COMMUNICATION. The whole picture seems that both parties (the blogger and the PR manager) didn't mentioned the T&C so ended up a miscomm.
Read about lots of bad comments and people are throwing 'shit' at him.
However, if you read about Xiaxue's blog(www.xiaxue.blogspot.com), it's another side of the whole 'saga'.
He could be the victim, if yes, then he is super 'sway'.
His reputation has gone down the drain......no matter how he clarified, also kanna scolded by the people.
Maybe we should not just based on one side story from media to condemn this food blogger.
Perhaps in future, let's wait a little longer for more details before we start to throw 'bombs' at the accused.
But if the media is stating the truth, I think the only wrong thing is throwing the credit card, it's so disrespectful to the staff. Even though a person can be super duper angry, they should not do such an act.
This rude action reminded me of the patients which I had handled previously. I felt my colleagues should not be treated badly by this kind of people.
I'm been thinking, why some people can't control their temper? Don't they feel that making a scene in public, is also making a fool of yourself at the same time?
If you can show respect and speak nicely, I'm sure the other party will do the same. Even though the other party is rude to you, be a professional, don't act like them.
Side track and talk about the blogging industry.
Many people started to call 'bloggers' as 'beggers'. I think we should not based on one incident and starts to think all 'bloggers' are bad eggs.
I do worked with number of bloggers to help to promote my Milly Walker.
Most of them are super nice ladies. It's a good business relations between most of us. The bloggers I have approached are very professional and stated their T&C clearly. When they asked for the sponsored items, they sounded very 'pia seh' too.
I'm not trying to side them and of cos, definitely there are black sheeps in this industry.
I will tell you which are the types that spoiled this industry's image:
Number One: The ones who claimed they are super popular
Some 'unknown' bloggers try to cheat us with their fake reports. They emailed us their stats report and claimed super high traffic. They thought we are stupid or what? When we went to check, their traffic rank is low like 10 viewers per day?!
Huh~ I understand they also want to earn quick money and also wear nice clothes like the popular model bloggers, but please, don't use your fake reports to cheat other blog shop sellers.
Number Two: The greedy ones
Another type of blogger I cannot 'tahan' is those super greedy one. Even though in our email agreement is 2 sponsored items, they will asked for 4 items.We do give them as we hope they can feature our products since they showed interest. Sadly, sometimes only 1-2 items featured. I don't know where my other items gone to??
