A brand qualifies to be Socially Devoted if it responds to at least 65% of audience questions on Facebook and/or Twitter.
“Our success in social media is driven by the value we place on customer satisfaction. With the growth in digital technology there is more and more conversation in social networks. The evolution of social media is truly an excellent tool to create a community where we can engage our customers to improve customer satisfaction, loyalty and value.
