Grow Your Audience With a Custom Community App

Community Mobile Apps Can Bring Your Audience Closer

Despite our technological advancements, it’s now easier to lose connection than ever. All the noise from social media and news outlets can be overwhelming.

But, what if there was a solution to maintaining your community values and growing your audience? We reassure you that there is, and it’s called a community mobile app.

A community app gathers all your audience in a single, interactive platform that you alone control. It’s a great way to increase member loyalty and skyrocket your engagement rates.

More so, it gives your audience a reason to connect with your brand and with each other. Your community app is the key to turning brand awareness to brand intimacy.

How Can a Mobile App Strengthen Your Community?

Community apps are a proven way to connect with your audience, by removing the physical boundaries. This way your followers will always feel included. And it gets even better. Let’s go through some of the key benefits together.

How Community Apps Build Lasting Relationships?

A community app is a clever approach to giving your most dedicated followers a sense of exclusivity. It is the key to turning brand engagement into profound brand intimacy.

These mobile apps became solid community-building tools for a reason – they work like a charm. After all, a community is only a community when it has a place of its own. And a community app gives them just that- a digital space your followers can access from the comfort of their phones. Your new digital hub will help them grow into a reliable, tightly-knit community.

But, you must be wondering how a mobile app can achieve all this. Here are 3 ways a community app can turn your audience into the loyal digital family you deserve:

Gathers Your Audience in a Single Interactive Platform

Centralizing all your content and brand communication into a single, interactive mobile app is important. For one it will distinguish you from other brands or groups.

On the other hand, your audience will have easy access to all your content in one place. This will give them a place to engage with your brand and among each other.

Community engagement and loyalty don’t come for free. With a mobile app, you’ll be able to repay them with exclusivity and member privileges.

Distinguishes Your Brand in the Social Feed

The average smartphone user gets around 32 – 85 push notifications per day. Social media accounts for most of them. If your brand messages come through social media, they’ll most likely get lost among the tens of other notifications.

A community app will set your notifications apart from the influx of social media alerts. Additionally, your community will get used to getting all their insights from your app.

Centralizing your brand communication is a proven way to reach all your audience with your content, and stand out in the social newsfeed.

Gives Your Community a Reason to Engage

Having a community website can be beneficial, but not community-building. Your followers can’t really interact with it, share their experiences, or build relationships within it. Today’s internet users want something more interactive to invest their time in.

In contrast, your community app is an engaging social destination for your audience. It gives your audience an interactive space, which will keep them engaged with your brand.

Besides building lasting relationships, and centralizing brand communication, these mobile apps can complement many other organizational goals.

For instance, one of our customers achieved a 20% increase in YouTube views with his custom community app. And the best part is that you can unlock similar benefits for your own community – all in 3 easy steps.

”The biggest advantage of collaborating with Eventya was speed. We needed a complete communication solution for the members of the guitarist community for the “Pune mâna pe chitară” Program, that could be available as soon as possible.

In less than 2 days the mobile app and the website site were ready for adding content. In about 2 weeks the platform was launched and works perfectly. Such a service is the best example that any idea can be put into practice before it fades.”
