Earned vs owned reach
Of the 1.1k total reach today, 52% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 48% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mannings | 407 | 173 | 30% |
| Watsons | 123 | 408 | 77% |
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
A customer reports that Mannings' yuu member SMS uses a ShortURL that has been flagged in public scam-alert Facebook groups, with multiple people calling it fake. This directly undermines trust in a loyalty-program communication meant to drive redemptions.
▸ Facebook comment explicitly says the SMS has been posted to a scam-alert group and 'everyone says it's fake'.
你地個sms想點(yuu果個）？點解會用ShortURL做link，做到好似詐騙message咁。你哋個sms上咗去詐騙關注組，個個都話假喎
“What's with your yuu SMS? Why use a ShortURL link — it looks like a scam message. Your SMS got posted to a scam-alert group and everyone says it's fake.”
