Here’s your monthly roundup on everything at Six Circles, from what’s happening behind the scenes to what’s new on our ever-evolving community engagement platform…
Top tips of the month
Are you wondering how you can boost user engagement on your forum? Look no further.
Here are 6 top tips on how to successfully spark forum community engagement, keeping users active and coming back for more:
- Be part of your community: spending time on your own forum and responding to messages is a key part of kick-starting and cultivating community engagement
- Start discussions: from handy tips to leading questions, make your forum the place to be when it comes to discussing hot, industry-centric topics
- Hold ‘ask me anything’ sessions: opening up the floor to questions is a highly effective way to gain community participation while also boosting brand trust
- Host forum events and contests: forum-hosted events and contests can incentivise online engagement, giving your community members something to look forward to
- Give member shout-outs: highlighting members who consistently contribute, or who are particularly knowledgeable within your community, will encourage them and others to continue embedding themselves in your community and participating in the conversation
- Promote your space: maintain community growth by cross-promoting your forum on your socials, email marketing and website at a minimum
