Learnings:

• Verify your content before going online
• Making the same mistake causes missing credibility in the future, so people will try to make sure of what you are sharing with them
• Don’t share unless you’re controlling the scene 100%
• Watch your post in the first 10 minutes to know people’s direction and work on fixing any problems before the situation goes out of control
• Your fans are your friends, so keep that in mind
• Say “Sorry” when you’re wrong. People will appreciate that more than removing things and acting like nothing happened.

Finally, mistakenly sharing incorrect information with your fans may end up losing fans’ trust in your brand. “A brand without trust is just a product; the difference between the two is trust,” said Keith Weed, CMO at Unilever.
