FAQs
I already have a following on social media sites, why do I need an owned brand community?
We understand that your brand has invested time and effort into establishing a strong presence across various social media platforms. This is logical, given the influence of social media marketing in reinforcing fashion and apparel brands. However, there are distinct differences between an owned community and social media followers. Moreover, these two approaches can complement each other to provide added value.
Ultimately, relying on third-party social channels for customer relationships comes with limitations and risks. Changes in algorithms, public relations controversies, inability to attribute community impact, and restricted data access often leave marketers struggling to adapt. An owned community safeguards your brand’s future and provides complete control over consumer relationships.
How do I build a brand-owned community?
We believe every brand, especially in categories as beloved as fashion and apparel, already possesses a community of customers. Many of the brands we collaborate with initiate their owned communities from existing one-way channels with limited engagement, such as an email database, a social media following, or a loyalty and rewards program. Your community itself will also evolve into a potent source of growth through referrals and social advocacy. We emphasize that community-building resembles gardening more than carpentry, and our team equips you with all the necessary “gardening tools” to create a flourishing owned community.
Is a community a lot of work? Who manages the community and plans the engagement?
We recognize that each team possesses distinct resources, and our platform is designed to be flexible to accommodate your needs. Whether you have a team of community experts seeking a platform to engage with customers or you’re seeking a fully-managed community team to nurture your owned community, TINT’s platform is engineered to enhance efficiency in your marketing stack. In some instances, we’ve assisted clients in streamlining and eliminating more than four marketing tools. Additionally, 90% of our clients confirm that a minimum of three business functions engage with an owned community.”
