I’m managing a community for a professional body. We’re contemplating launching an app, not just for the community, but also to include our podcasts, videos, and other content.
My question is, have any of you noticed increased community engagement by launching a mobile app, or has it had little impact?
Thanks in advance!
Haven’t done it personally, but I do believe it will help. Users won’t have to go to their browser, open up the website, and go to the forum/watch the podcasts.
If it (the app) were on their homepage, it would attract them there since the forum is a click away, and if they are bored, they can check out the podcasts and videos, increasing community engagement.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. I guess the only concern is that if people don’t download it, it could be an expensive exercise for no real gain.
Does anyone have any data on this?
I’m almost being approved by Play Store and I Imagine that my community will see a great growth
If this really happen I’ll bring here to discuss about.
Congrats! And thankyou, yeah keen to hear how it impacts your community
