Mesa, Arizona (PRWEB) January 22, 2013
Even in 2013, many companies struggle to see a clear line between their online community strategy and the return on their investment.
Though social business professionals in the trenches buy into the potential for a substantial ROI, educating the range of departments that are going to be using the private social network to engage customers, partners, and other groups within the company, lining up the right people and resources, and taking the appropriate steps throughout the online community planning process are a challenge.
To help businesses, user groups, and nonprofit membership organizations recognize and plan to achieve measurable business results through their online customer or member communities, Socious has teamed up with Richard Millington of the online community consultancy and training provider, FeverBee, to bring you a unique online event entitled, Unleashing the ROI of Online Customer Communities.
This 60-minute webinar will offer real-life perspectives, proven strategies, and actionable tips to businesspeople planning an online customer community to bring employees, customers, and partners together for the long-term success of their customers.
Rich is a trusted partner in the social business arena and his approach to successful online communities aligns with our commitment to delivering the most useful online community software for businesses and membership organizations, said Joshua Paul, Director of Strategy at Socious.
This free educational event will feature lessons from FeverBees online community management training program, the worlds first professional community management course, as well as tips from Richard Millingtons new book, Buzzing Communities: How to Build Bigger, Better, and More Active Online Communities.
Paul continued, Organizations dont have to begin diagnosing and treating their online communitys problems after it is launched. There is a lot that they can do during the online community planning process to shape the return on their investment.
The webinar will take place on January 24, 2013 at 1 p.m. ET US. Business and membership professionals can register for Unleashing the ROI of Online Customer Communities at http://socious.com/customer-engagement-videos/.
