The report found that 20% of businesses aren't responding to complaints made on social media due to a lack of investment in the platforms. The reputations of many businesses are suffering through a lack of understanding of digital marketing and dedicated staff to handle online complaints. This is especially true of small businesses and start-ups who have limited resources and funding to tackle the issue of online reputation.

O'Connor Marketing believe many businesses are failing to recognise the impact that poor online customer service can have on their overall business success. The rise of internet technology means that dissatisfied customers now have more outlets than ever before to share their experiences, whilst the anonymity of online communication means many customers are leaving far more scathing reviews than they would if speaking to a business directly. O'Connor Marketing believes small businesses struggling with their online customer service could improve customer relationships by turning their attention to direct marketing solutions and face to face customer interactions. Direct marketing is a highly customer centric approach to building a positive brand reputation and can help businesses gain a far better understanding of their customers' needs. The firm believes that by interacting with customers in person, small businesses can develop meaningful relationships with their customers and avoid negative online reviews.

Many potential customers use social media to learn about a business, but reading about bad customer experiences online can put those potential customers off. Marketing directly through events and in store promotions can help businesses spread positive brand awareness to a wider audience and allows customers to gain a clearer and more honest picture of the businesses core values.

The Sprinklr report found that a company's lack of communication caused 38% of customers more frustration than the original issue that caused their complaint. Meeting customers in person through direct marketing allows businesses to address customer queries instantly which helps maintain strong customer relationships and increases customer loyalty. O'Connor marketing believes that defining clear channels of communication from the outset through direct marketing could help businesses avoid negative online interactions in the future.
