  • Community Growth and Engagement. We were already present on other platforms, so its not like we started from the grounds up. However, within a month of joining Khoros Communities we have experienced a growth of around 30% in our active audience.
  • Feedback-Driven interactions. While on other platforms our interactions with our audience were mainly in the form of Q&A sessions, a good number of our Khoros Communities interactions (around 20%) were about suggestions to improve, and bug/design fault reports.
  • The only negative impart we can think of (although it would hardly qualify as one for most) is that we spent more time on managing our interactions on the platform. This is a rather expected con when we needed these interactions, however.

  • I believe our C-Sat scores show that active Community members rate us higher than nonmembers.
  • Having the ability to deflect support cases I know is being tracked and is a great way to answer questions and share information before a case needs to be opened.
  • Since the relaunch of our Community from Jive to Khoros at the end of 2018, we have experienced over a 30% increase in membership
