How Much Time Does Your Company Devote to Social Media: Airlines Average 90 hours a Month
In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, many companies are taking a closer look at their social media management and crisis plans. Superstorm Sandy was brutal to the airline industry. Airlines were forced to cancel thousands of flights over several days. After taking a beating from the storm, many also took a beating via social media. Delta, American Airlines, Southwest and many others have been inundated with kudos and complaints regarding the rerouting, cancellations and delays of flights. Their social media pages are full of customer comments about their flight experiences. For an industry that operates 24 hours/7 days a week, social media is a full-time job.
SimpliFlying recently released a report titled, Airline Social Media Outlook 2012: Resource allocation, challenges and ROI. The report looked at the behind the scenes social media operations of 29 social-savvy airlines from the US and across the world. The report looks at the resources, staffing and budget, that are dedicated to social media, challenges faced by airlines and the ROI.
