You went out to dinner and had a horrible experience. What do you do? Many people would go to a site like Yelp and post about how the food was late, cold, and over-priced. Hopefully the restaurant either sees your review and apologizes, or a future customer decides to eat somewhere else. The truth is, consumers trust peers, even if they find that advice online.

Wine comes in at the mouth. And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth. Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh.

Three great tastes that taste great together. Recruitment, retention, and renewal are related, but they aren’t the same thing.

Many people ask how online communities can bring in new customers. It’s important, but communities aren’t just about growing your customer base. Part of a community’s value comes from something else - retaining existing customers. It’s comparatively easy for customers to find alternative solutions to your product and switch.
