As customer communities continue to evolve, companies are embracing the benefits they can bring beyond peer-to-peer support forums, such as product ideas and brand advocacy. When establishing a community as part of your digital customer service, it’s a given that you’ll hire staff dedicated to the day-to-day management. But don’t stop there.

1. Identify the key internal roles important to your community

Encourage your employees to swoop in from any department and take on specialized roles in the customer community. These range from customer support to feedback and more.

2. Create a training or enablement plan

Because you’re engaging the customers in a public, social environment, your words are your biggest strength, and it’s not the same as emailing or talking one-on-one. Written communication with customers in an online community calls for a specific tone and style, especially when discussions are visible to the public and can be found in the future.

3. Line up executive sponsorship

Executive commitment is critical for the long-term success of your community. When executives step in, they signal to employees that the community is a worthy and important venture.

4. Make it fun to join

To rally employees and recognize their contributions, take a page from gaming and apps by making the experience rewarding.
