How to Keep Online Customers Engaged

How to Keep Online Customers Engaged

I often get asked about how to keep online communities “engaged.” So, today, I found this fascinating quote:

TripAdvisor needs to keep reviewers reviewing, and an email message they sent to me suggests one way to do so. They don’t merely ask for more reviews but instead appeal to some of the motivations that Mass Influencers have for their social media activities.  The TripAdvisor message takes away doubt about readership of reviews and implies that those who post reviews have an audience eager for more content.  Here is what I received: Augie Ray, How Do You Keep Mass Influencers Engaged? An Example from TripAdvisor, Mar 2010

This article explains what works best–and what doesn’t–in getting people to talk about and share information about your product or service. It also goes into the mentality of your Web users, and why certain tactics work better than others. It’s a must-read for anyone struggling to keep customers engaged … and how to turn those customers into referrals! Take a look, and let me what you think!

About the Author : Laura Kinoshita @lkinoshitaI am a long-time student of media, journalism and communication and enjoy talking about what works and why. Each day I wake up and to read news that is increasingly coming from the Web and Twitter because I can customize those tools for my own, unique interests. It's fascinating that more than 70% of all the information I read is put forth by people trying to influence opinion. I like to watch a newstream at the source, then watch it twist and turn and trickle over various news intermediaries, landing on the shores of public opinion. I like to talk about what I think works, and what doesn't so that more people can form original opinions, based on experience, rather than become part of the "echo chamber" that is repeating or retweeging key messages put forth by others. While I think "key messages" are an important branding tool, I expect people to use their own minds, reason and experience to add context and interpretation to those messages. That is ultimately what I am trying to do here ... to add some unique insights and shared experiences to collectively form better, more informed opinions.View all posts by Laura Kinoshita @lkinoshita →
