TODAY’S TIP

How to Retain Users

Start by creating a space where your users can connect. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Slack, Discord, or even a private Facebook group can work wonders. The key is to focus on meaningful interactions. A community isn’t just a place to dump updates—it’s a hub where users can share experiences, ask questions, and feel like part of something bigger than themselves.

To make your community thrive, you need to lead by example. Be active in discussions, respond to questions, and celebrate user milestones. Did someone achieve a major goal using your product? Highlight their story. Personal touches like these show that you’re invested in their success, not just their subscription fee.

Gamify engagement to keep your community buzzing. Badges, leaderboards, or exclusive perks for active members create a sense of achievement. For example, if someone provides helpful tips to other users, reward them with a shoutout or early access to a new feature. Little incentives can go a long way in fostering loyalty.

RYSE

This smart home company grew 200% month-over-month…

No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, a leader in smart shade automation, and you can invest for just $1.75 per share.

RYSE’s innovative SmartShades have already transformed how people control their window coverings, bringing automation to homes without the need for expensive replacements. With 10 fully granted patents and a game-changing Amazon court judgment protecting their tech, RYSE is building a moat in a market projected to grow 23% annually.

This year alone, RYSE has seen revenue grow by 200% month-over-month and expanded into 127 Best Buy locations, with international markets on the horizon. Plus, with partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s already in the works, they’re just getting started.

Now is your chance to invest in the company disrupting home automation—before they hit their next phase of explosive growth. But don’t wait; this opportunity won’t last long.

Invest today before their share price changes next week.

Exclusive content is another magnet for keeping users around. Host webinars, Q&A sessions, or live demos that are available only to community members. These events don’t just provide value—they make members feel special. Plus, they give you direct feedback to improve your product.

Don’t overlook the power of peer-to-peer connections. Encourage members to share their hacks, workflows, or unique ways of using your product. People love to learn from others who are in the trenches with them, and this can inspire new use cases that even you hadn’t thought of.

Lastly, make joining your community effortless. A seamless onboarding experience—from a welcome email with a link to your group, to a quick start guide—removes friction. And don’t forget to let people know what’s in it for them. Whether it’s insider tips, early feature access, or networking opportunities, clearly highlight the benefits.

At its core, a thriving community turns your product from a transaction into a relationship. When users feel like they’re part of a tribe, they’re not just customers—they’re advocates.
