07/28/2023: Proactive vs. Reactive Reputation Management & Why You Need Both

How customers view your brand can play a significant role in your business’s success and growth — no matter the size of your business or your industry.

A positive online brand reputation can help you build customer loyalty, drive sales, increase trust, and generate positive word-of-mouth marketing and customer reviews. It can help you stand out from your competitors.

As a result, incorporating online reputation management strategies is no longer nice to have — they are becoming essential. So you should have a system to manage your reputation and ways to respond in case of a reputation crisis. 

In this post, we explore what proactive and reactive reputation management means, why you need both, and tips on using these strategies. 

What is proactive reputation management?

Proactive reputation management involves strategies to help you shape, improve, and maintain your brand reputation on an ongoing basis. 

Ideally, you start these strategies early on, so you can use these strategies to:

• Attract more customers
• Build and strengthen brand loyalty
• Enhance your online reputation
• Increase conversion rates

These strategies help you consistently earn customers’ trust by showing you value them.

For example, Chewy, an online pet supplies company, shows the power of proactive reputation management with their moving and heartfelt responses to customers whose pets passed away. 

A customer reached out to Chewy to cancel their auto shipping for pet food because their pet had passed. The representative helped and spent time with the customer, letting her talk about her pet. 

Chewy also has sent grieving pet owners handwritten cards and flowers. They make the process of canceling auto shipping or getting refunds easy.

These actions by Chewy are thoughtful, helpful, and show they care, which strengthens brand loyalty and enhances their reputation. Additionally, many of these customers shared their experiences online, including leaving positive reviews. This provides Chewy another chance to engage and support, showing other consumers what they are like as a company. 

What is reactive reputation management?

Reactive reputation management is more like having a crisis management plan. It helps businesses address and respond to events to minimize brand damage, like responding to negative posts, comments, or online reviews. 

These events can be related to something the brand has accidentally done or something they couldn’t have predicted or was out of their control. For instance, the company Tide could not have envisioned a YouTube challenge to eat Tide pods would emerge. Yet the company had to address this issue to repair damage to its brand reputation. 

Another way reactive strategies can help is by responding to negative reviews or comments on social media. For example, when a customer raises an issue or problem, Whole Foods addresses it promptly, provides understanding, and a solution when possible. 

This type of reactive reputation management helps the customer feel better about the company and shows others how that brand handles problems, which can help establish trust. 

Why do you need both?

Reputation management is an ongoing process. Ideally, you want to establish systems to nurture and maintain your brand’s reputation using proactive strategies.

These proactive strategies also help reduce the need for reactive ones since the goal is to shape, improve, and maintain your online reputation continuously.

But even the most thoughtful companies will eventually have a negative review or event that pokes at their brand’s reputation requiring reactive reputation strategies.

So incorporating both proactive and reactive management into an online reputation management system will enable you to handle all possible situations effectively — helping you avoid damage to your brand’s reputation while building and maintaining customer loyalty.
