Corporate Digital Communities, Do They Work?
Event Info
Description
Online communities within the commercial sector have grown rapidly, with many companies considering them a new initiative when connecting with customers and leading campaigns. In the majority of cases, online communities have proven extremely effective; however a few cases show a fine divide between their success and failure, with some proving ineffective.
Through real case studies, we intend to highlight the key ingredients to creating a successful online community and the key challenges companies face when designing appropriate community platforms. As a part of Social Media Week, Corporate Digital Communities, do they work? will cover topics such as:
- how to grow a loyal user base of 100,00+
- correctly understanding the metrics of success
- the do’s and don’ts of community management
- how to increase ROI within your community
- key techniques when planning for an online community
- how are onlien communities positioned in the market
- the future of onlien communites
- technical aspects on community development
