Hallmark Case Study 
Integrate social learning to help your organization 
become more consumer focused. 
SocialMedia.org Summit - 10.28.14
Integrate social learning to help your organization become more consumer-focused, presented by Camille Lauer
“There's too much talking  not enough 
listening  learning in Social today. 
Instead focus on customer experience.” 
- Bri an Sol i s
Measurement 
Monitoring  
Response 
Ideas  Inspiration 
Hallmark brand 
 campaigns. 
Primary platforms 
(and sometimes ) 
Unbranded social 
listening – starting with 
hypothesis or theme.
“Social Listening” role lives within 
Consumer Understanding  Insights Department 
(a.k.a. Research) 
Hallmark is 104 years old. 
The phrase “when you care enough to send the very 
best” was coined 70 years ago. 
Background
50 vocal consumers 
across social media 
+ 
Lesson: 
= 
Risk is defined externally 
in a socially connected world.
TV Advertising 
Holiday TV Special 
Kid-focused + tech + high emotional 
context. A new product dynamic for us.
Enormously successful program 
• Sold through inventory 
• Met “quality acceptance” levels 
• Holiday TV special did very well 
• Forging ahead with the “everyday” franchise 
• Jingle 2.0 planned for next holiday 
Business Truth 
Dec. 26th
Consumer Truth 
Dec. 26th 
Customer Service 
(1-800, email, social) 
Not equipped to make good on 
a $35 item. “Make retailer the 
hero” philosophy. 
Momma Bear 
Independently owned – 75% 
Not available on Hallmark.com. 
Social amplification 
(tick-tock-tick-tock)
• I expected more from Hallmark. 
• Your customer service is HORRIBLE!!! 
• Shame, shame, shame on Hallmark. 
• Since he's marked down 75%, they'll only give 
me $8 for him!! WHAT?! 
• Hallmark, I am done with you. 
• What you sell is junk and I'm going to blog this 
all over the internet. 
• My daughter is devastated because this is her 
favorite toy. What am I supposed to do now? 
• I DO NOT want to return this as my child is hysterical 
• Next toy won't be made in China. Get with it Hallmark! 
• Man-up and take care of your customers! 
• CORPORATE OFFICE IS USELESS HAS DONE NOTHING 
• I will never buy something like this again from Hallmark. 
• What a true disappointment!!! 
• My daughter is TWO, Hallmark. She doesn't understand that 
Mommy can't just fix it by putting in new batteries. 
• Congrats, today you lost me as a customer. 
CONSUMER COMMENTS IN SOCIAL
2 ½ star product 
review 
20 1-star reviews vs. 
14 5-star reviews 
First page of Google results for “Jingle” search – (2/13/12)

what you behave yourself into.” 
- Linda, a wise c o l league
ROOT of the PROBLEM 
Social Media 
Steering 
Committee 
Product Integrity 
Warehouse / 
Distribution 
Product 
Development 
INITIAL 
STEPS 
- “Is this really your job?” 
- “Who is this, again?” 
- “Who is going to pay for this?” 
- “…spreading urban myths through the 
company…”
MAKE IT RIGHT 
SOLUTION 
• We shipped out Jingle’s friend, Nugget, 
who was new to market 
• Consumers given vouchers for Jingle 2.0 – 
could redeem in store during the next holiday season 
MECHANICS 
• Aggregated all contacts across customer service  social 
• Replied to Amazon.com complaints 
• Coordinated with wholesale warehouse

Overwhelmingly 
positive feedback

companies who truly know what Customer 
Service is!!
