Not Always
Like poking a croc with a PETA tweet, the Twitterverse appropriately responded. See: PETA tweet and the replies.
Maybe PETA proved this:
There’s no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary.
Alienating more vegans is not how you do good PR, PETA. Need some social media help?
Here’s one free tip. You don’t respond to your critic’s tweets with, “Thanks for your support! Complete your donation now:” That’s not how you do a call-to-action. It’s what happens though when you’re not on top of what your bot is doing. The crocs are toying with PETA now by using the hashtag #donate with @peta in a tweet.
Avoid writing your own obituary!
