Companies, specifically companies that target individual consumers, cannot ignore this marketing channel, despite the risk associated. Mr. Dunn acknowledges that social media allows Best Buy to develop personal connections with their potential customers, connections that ultimately influence their purchasing (Dunn, B., 2010 p. 5). By actively joining in the online conversation, Best Buy’s leadership must accept that they are giving up control of their message. Best Buy can try to steer the conversation, but it cannot filter every discussion so it reflects positively on Best Buy.
