It really is something to think about. The primary way I converse with people, both in my job and in my personal life, is through social media – whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, etc. I think you’re absolutely right, customer service would certainly suffer, especially for the beacon companies that have already embraced social media, like JetBlue & Freshbooks. I would definitely feel less connected to brands – I feel like I’ve built up a relationship with brands like Moo & Threadless because of how active and responsive they are with social media.

It is a great point though – what if were to all just disappear? How would your company deal with it? And how would you keep your community happy?

In the end I think it would come down to company culture. There would be those who see it as an essential part of their business and important to what they offer to their customers but others would abandon it seeing it as an insignificant tool.

Would they do it differently? not at all?
