Handling Customer Backlash in Business Decisions

And I just was informed with some rather bad news, and that the chocolate shop that I know when I love and my family knows my family loves well they're switching over their chocolate from Belgian chocolate to Colombian chocolate which on the surface doesn't sound like that make a deal. The problem is is that the backlash that they're facing right now in the community and certainly online and social is pretty monumental, pretty pretty huge. Essentially, a lot of people are not liking the new chocolate. They want the old chocolate for whatever reason. Maybe it's better, maybe that's just what they're familiar with, whatever the case they made this decision to switch over to this different kind of chocolate, and now they're being met with some public relations issues. I guess you can say at the very least certainly some marketing issues that should have probably been addressed ahead of time. But it's definitely not too late to take some corrective actions.
