Companies wanting to obtain greater user engagement must be active in their communication; they must constantly focus on the development and distribution of information and data through myriad digital channels in order to be considered successful.
Creating a true, meaningful and profitable connection, however, requires a community and the benefits derived from it.
The benefits of hosting and managing an online community are many (as any savvy and experienced Web professional can attest). Not only will there be an inevitable increase in Web marketing performance metrics (such as time on site and page views), for example, there is also the potential for reduced costs (associated with self-service benefits) and, of course, greater profits.
So where should you look for useful insights into the nuances of operating a user community? Start with this month's feature article from
Website Magazine. Editorial Director Amberly Dressler expertly showcases how brands today can create and sustain long-term relationships with customers by creating online communities, featuring software solutions from companies that are leading the charge, and practical insights for true digital communication activation.
