Earned vs owned reach
Of the 13k total reach today, 82% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 18% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 18%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 2.1k | 9.2k | 81% |
| Circle K | 222 | 1.3k | 85% |
Earned = organic / independent voices — this drives Share of Voice, sentiment and everything above. Owned = the brands' own official accounts, i.e. what they broadcast. A high owned share means the day's buzz is largely brand-driven, not organic.

View post →What customers are saying
Act on this
The peach and apple-cinnamon YOZM launch is 7-Eleven's highest-engagement post of the day (1,827), but the comment section is dominated by repeated '難食' (bad taste) complaints and anger over pricing, risking a mismatch between reach and actual product satisfaction.
▸ Four separate comments independently call the new flavors '好難食'/'難食到' plus one calling the price 'insane'
好難食，唔好再入
“So bad, please stop stocking it”

The Chiikawa movie tote-bag giveaway is a top-performing owned post (1,177 engagement), but customers report contradictory redemption rules — some stores accept walk-in orders, others require app-only, and staff give conflicting answers — creating wasted trips and frustration.
▸ One commenter was told app-only ordering was required at one branch, but the app itself didn't list that branch as eligible
@7elevenhk 今朝將軍澳厚德分店嘅職員話只限用app落單，現場買無得送，但app話果間分店無得落，咁即係點？到底係職員唔清楚規則定私自hold貨？ （Ps 我最後喺其他分店walk-in 買左🤡）
“This morning the Tseung Kwan O Hau Tak branch staff said only app orders qualify, in-store purchases don't get the GWP, but the app says that branch isn't eligible — so which is it? Staff confusion or deliberately holding back stock? (I ended up buying at a different store)”

Two separate complaint threads about empty shelves land in the same period, and in one case the top reply directs the frustrated customer straight to Circle K, which had stock. This is a live defection signal, not just an inventory footnote.
▸ Commenter reports visiting 'many' 7-Eleven stores with nothing in stock, then finding the item at Circle K the next morning
我就係琴日行咗好多間七仔都冇，原來Circle K係第二朝早開始有

A threads post about a $2 chip deal hit strong organic engagement (185 likes) and reinforced 7-Eleven's value image, but several replies say the deal isn't running at their local branch, risking a 'clickbait' perception if it isn't broadly available.

樓主我幫你Google咗🤣 10分清晰哦 「7-11」在香港普遍被稱為「7仔」，但「Circle K」卻從來沒人叫「K仔」，主要原因可以歸納為以下三個層面： 1. 社會文化與黑話避諱（最主要原因）在香港的廣東話黑話（江湖術語）中，「K仔」是軟性毒品「氯胺酮」（Ketamine）的俗稱。如果你對朋友說：「我去買包K仔」，在香港文化語境中，這代表去購買違法毒品，而不是去便利店。為了避免引起嚴重的誤會和法律嫌疑，市民在日常生活中絕對會避開這個稱呼。相比之下，「7仔」這個名字非常安全，沒有任何負面或不良的聯想。 2. 商標與民間約定俗成的稱呼兩家便利店在香港落地生根時，市民和官方廣告為它們建立了一套非常順口的代稱：Circle K：香港人根據其標誌上的英文字母「O」和「K」，順理成章地直接叫它「OK」或「OK便利店」。這個稱呼只有兩個音節，比叫「K仔」還要簡單、直接，而且帶有「事事順利、沒問題」的正面心理暗示。7-Eleven：其官方早年的宣傳口號常有「7-Eleven 啱晒你」等，而香港人喜歡用「仔」字來將親切、細小的物件擬人化。
“Let me Google that for you — crystal clear explanation of why 7-Eleven is nicknamed '7仔' but Circle K is never called 'K仔' (it's a drug-slang taboo, so people just say 'OK' instead)”
