Do Little or Nothing
• Microsoft’s Hidden Messages(why does N Y C = )?
• Starbucks – Central Area Boycott in reaction to police shooting of black man.
![Page 27: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Do Little or Nothing
• When to use – information lacks credibility, represents a short-term problem and/or is unlikely to be widely known.
• Ford – anti-environmentalist boycott
![Page 28: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Refutation

– Foreign objects in Diet Pepsi cans
– Ford vs. Firestone

Refutation
• When to use – when likely to gain the trust and support of the media
![Page 31: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Storage
• When & how – use early in the crisis to set the agenda and influence how individuals think about the problem.– E.g., Clinton-Lewinsky (private action, all
about sex versus public official lying under oath)
– Microsoft – Giving consumers better software not destroying the competition.
![Page 32: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Retrieval
• When and how – Focus on positive thoughts not likely to remind individuals of the problem.
• E.g., Philip Morris – “Meals on Wheels”
– name change– ALTRIA – Latin for “high”
![Page 33: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Counterattack
• When and How – focus on the negatives of the individuals spreading information about your problem.
• E.g., – GM attacks NBC News
– Phillip Morris attacks ABC News
– Political “quick response teams”
![Page 34: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Apologize and Go On
• When and How – other methods will be ineffective or will prolong the problem
• E.g., Lee Iacocca apologized for Chrysler’s turning back the odometer on cars before reselling them
![Page 36: Mktg 450 Session 3 Winter 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568159a1550346895dc6f30a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
