• Track, analyze, and optimize participation and community vibrancy
• Reward & recognize members; help them feel valued and appreciated
• Encourage member-to-member interactions and member-generated content by facilitating conversations, collaborating with consumers, and probing discussion posts – with a focus on engaging them
