Online Community Management That Ensures Community Success: TrueLoyal's Methodology

Community Powered Marketing is a powerful tool for unlocking your audience's sales, advocacy, and insights potential. But this requires active, knowledgeable, and engaged management and moderation of your online brand community. We know because we're also community managers. TrueLoyal manages our own thriving community of 1.2 million passionate and dedicated consumers and peer influencers, and we built the tool we needed. Our software powers the most sophisticated system available to make it easy for you to manage your community. Moderation is turnkey with intuitive tools to review, approve, and engage with member posts and communications. But as your fellow marketers and community managers, we know that there is never enough time in the day. Don't worry—we've got you.

TrueLoyal's Approach to Managing and Moderating Communities

It can be tough to figure out what level of support you need for your brand-new asset. That's why it might be helpful to understand TrueLoyal's proprietary approach to managing and moderating a community. TrueLoyal uses the U-N-I-T-Y model:

  • U - Uninterrupted Engagement - Every thriving community offers regular engagement opportunities for community members. TrueLoyal establishes a robust and strategic calendar to ensure new offerings and activities to engage your members while supporting your brand's objectives.
  • N - Nimble Growth - For management, TrueLoyal's philosophy is that community building is like gardening, not carpentry. We stay agile, evolving the activities and adding new features to the community as it evolves. We also look for opportunities to bring timely elements into the community to keep your members engaged.
  • I - Impactful Motivators - We believe that incentivizing your community members in the right ways is crucial to community success. No two members are the same, meaning that different engagement activities can serve as impactful motivators to different personas. Activities such as ongoing discussions, surveys, focus groups, promotional offers, and exclusive content are great examples.
  • T - Trusted Environment - TrueLoyal's team regularly reviews content to ensure we maintain a safe and trusted space for your members and answer questions that arise. The best practice is 2-3x per week minimum, but our team is monitoring 24-48 hours with more active communities. We flag, tag, and sort user-generated content in your community to highlight the positive, high-quality content and identify important consumer conversations and trends, and we remedy the negative content.
  • Y - Yields Value - No community can find success without making its members feel valued. After all, that's why they're here. TrueLoyal creates highly personalized experiences for your members to ensure that everyone feels valued and heard by the brand.

When done right, the efforts to manage and cultivate your online brand community can elevate all of your marketing efforts and ultimately save you time.
