Advice from an Agency: Why Community Management is Critical in 2021
By Jaci Schreckengost
As our digital universe continues to grow, brands must be involved to keep up.
What is community management?
Community management is exactly what it sounds like: managing your digital community. It’s everything from engaging on social media, answering questions in your Facebook inbox, resolving situations for unhappy customers, and so much more.
Community management stretches across a number of different platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok, and more.
Why do I need it?
Your customers want answers from you—and they want them quickly. Especially if their question is one about an order gone wrong or something similar.
Community management is not only there to help you in these bad moments. It also builds your digital community and, therefore, your audience.
Your audience will feel connected to your brand. If your brand is spending time liking, commenting, and engaging with your community, customers are going to understand you care about them. You like them enough to want to engage with them—and that’s something they’re going to remember that the next time they get ready to make a purchase. That engagement is what’s going to put you ahead of your competition.
