Earned vs owned reach
Of the 6.1k total reach today, 89% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 11% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 11%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 602 | 4.5k | 88% |
| Circle K | 57 | 955 | 94% |
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.

Act on this
The newly launched 7-SELECT 明太子風味芝士玉子燒三文治 ($23) is being called out for having almost no sauce and tasting bland, with the reviewer actively telling others to avoid it and buy curry fish balls instead — a risk to the fresh-food quality halo the brand is otherwise building.
▸ Two comments on the launch post flag thin sauce/cheese and low flavour delivery
勁少醬 食唔到有味 薄到好似痴左層紙巾咁漿住塊包 大家唔好食見得一個救一個 魚蛋燒賣更稱心
“Very little sauce, no flavour at all. Thin like it's just wrapped in a tissue soaked onto the bread. Don't let one bad review save you — the curry fish balls are more satisfying.”
7-Eleven@claire_shuting · Instagram · ♥ 1 · source
Independent, unprompted comments claim 7-Eleven staff buy coffee at OK for quality, and a separate commenter says they always pick OK's sandwiches over 7-Eleven's — a small but recurring perception risk in two core fresh categories.
▸ Two separate threads (coffee joke + sandwich preference) both favour OK over 7-Eleven

Across at least four separate posts, commenters are volunteering favourites (cream puff, cheesecake, mochi roll), asking where to buy, and tagging friends — signalling the collab format is a strong trial driver worth repeating.
▸ 50+ enthusiastic comments across the 7-SELECT x 地茂館 post alone, plus 3 more organic reviewer posts
我好喜歡黑芝麻系列的商品！！有去香港一定要試試😍😍😍

Across several new-product posts (Trolli gummy, Nescafe iced apple tea, Kitagawa Hanbei grape oolong), customers ask price/availability in comments with no brand reply, which likely dampens conversion on otherwise high-interest launches.
▸ At least 3 separate posts have unanswered 'how much?' comments
幾錢一粒？🙇🏻♀️

Report Card: gripes & requests
Beyond the collab buzz, customers flagged a product-quality miss, a pricing-transparency gap, and a competitive nudge toward Circle K/OK.
