Engagement

Creating reasons to return — content worth their time and habits that turn occasional visitors into daily participants.

Key ideas for driving lasting engagement

Content

Curated feed with a dashboard

Relevant content by followed topics and users delivered right when members log in. A personalized experience keeps people scrolling instead of bouncing.

Social

Social media integration

Help bring followers from other accounts and networks. Meet your community where they already are and give them a reason to centralize on your platform.

Content

Voting and reaction systems

Reddit-style voting and reaction systems highlight the best content, surface relevant responses, and give every member a voice — even without writing a post.

Events

Contests and giveaways

Engage members with fun contests and rewarding giveaways that create excitement, drive participation spikes, and give people something to talk about.

Events

Live streaming schedule

Utilize streaming for gaming, education, and more to create a unique channel that engages users on a regular, predictable basis they can plan around.

Communication

Newsletter and email digests

Keep members in the loop with curated articles, new shop items, community highlights, and more — pulling inactive members back into the fold.

Mobile

Native mobile experience

Reach your audience on their phones with native push notifications, app store presence, and a modern mobile experience that makes engagement effortless.

Content

User-generated content tools

Give members the tools to create and share their own content — polls, media galleries, tutorials, and guides. The best engagement comes from within the community itself.

Social

Notification strategy

Smart, well-timed notifications bring members back without overwhelming them. The right notification at the right time is the difference between re-engagement and unsubscribe.
