This will probably be only after those vulnerabilities were fixed by the other vendors or were publicly reported.

"They'll have to track all security vulnerabilities in those features, and fix them in Chrome too. "Security wise, it's very problematic," Raff wrote. He thinks Google might face other, similar issues in the future because Chrome uses technologies from different browsers, including Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox. "Two small issues in different products, when blended together, create a much larger problem." If you handle the issue effectively, your brand will emerge stronger than it was before."This is again a sort of a 'blended threat'," he wrote in a blog post. In the past, Tylenol and Jack-in-the-Box have actually emerged as stronger brands after a crisis.įor small business owners, one must remember that a customer problem is an opportunity to strengthen your brand not damage it. If they handle these issues correctly, they can emerge as a stronger brand. However, Toyota now has a spotlight on them and they must be very careful. I rave about Toyota to all my friends and it will take a lot for me to buy another car brand. I currently drive a Toyota Corolla with 180,000 miles on it and have no issues. Toyota has had brand champions for years and I am one. If a customer has a great experience, they will be a brand champion. Small businesses must understand that branding is not just about advertising, it’s about every interaction a company rep has with a customer. Companies cannot spew out propaganda anymore and make consumers believe it. Now, consumers can find any information about a company and its products before they make a purchase. A brand is not dictated by company execs anymore, it is communicated by customers. In the present time, this is almost impossible. They want to control the image and the brand messaging. Marketers continuously attempt to control a company’s brand. Now with the recent news, Toyota’s brand is in jeopardy of being tarnished. For over 20 years, Toyota and reliability have been synonymous. And in my mind, there was one car brand that stood head and shoulders above the rest when it came to reliability- Toyota. When it comes to cars, I only care about one thing- Reliability. I also did not want something cheap and completely unsafe. I am not a car buff so I didn’t get care about buying something sporty or stylish. There was little deliberation in my head about the car brand I planned to purchase. I remember when I was 22 years old and needed to buy my first new car. Now, the Prius model is being investigated for a faulty brake system. First it was a recall of 2.3 million models because of a gas pedal problem. Unfortunately all of the news has been bad. Toyota has been in the news a lot recently.
