Community Growth.
It’s all customer satisfaction. When you sway a member to keep following, you get continued community engagement, not just have them sign up and abandon your website. When you continue to interact after they initially join, be clear on how they can become more involved and the incentives that are associated with involvement. By doing so to get them to participate and eventually, stay with your community longer. This will allow your community to continue to grow rather than remain stagnant or worse, shrink.
Turn your members into your marketers.
With a quality welcome plan along with members who enjoy participating in your community, this can be an opportunity for them to turn into your marketers as well. How? They will be willing to bring in new people especially if they feel you’ve gone out of your way to make their customer experience an exceptional one and the value they’re getting out of your community. Moreover, when potential members see this activity, it’s going to make the decision for them to want to get on board with your community. So when you don’t have that sense of community, it makes it harder and takes longer to grow your community.
