CHAPTER 1 What is
a Private Online Community? a POC?
6.
ESTABLISH AND RUN
A POC What is a Private Online Community (POC)? Despite widespread use, there is still some confusion regarding POCs, probably because: 1. There are a number of terms used for client owned online communities –the aforementioned POCs, Branded Online Communities (BOCs) or Market Research Online Communities (MROCs). 2. These terms are also often mistakenly used in reference to online panels, especially “private” panels that clients have custom built for research purposes. Panels and communities are quite distinct. Put simply, a panel is a group of consumers that a client will conduct surveys with – perhaps once a month or so. The client asks questions and panelists give their answers in a fairly structured way. ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved

The nature of the community allows them to do this in a much more unstructured and ad hoc way. And it’s opening up these boundaries and restrictions posed by more conventional research that enables communities to get you closer to your customers. We differentiate between online communities for co-creation and community panels by the number of members they contain - ideally between 200- 500 for co-creation and more than a thousand of members for community panels. Large communities can also be used for quantitative online research in addition to using sub- communities for co-creation. ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved

CHAPTER 3 The Establishment Process
for a Private Online Community
11.
ESTABLISH AND RUN
A POC The Establishment Process Setting up and managing a POC from scratch can be a daunting process, so we would suggest breaking it down into the following stages, which we will cover in this eBook. The “Run Activities” stage is a topic in it’s own right and examined in more detail in our eBook on the research applications of POCs Size of the community Define Scope Specific objectives and target members Customisation Utilise appropriate resources and channels to Recruit recruit members Appoint an Online Community Manager Talk to members from the first day they join Engage Connect them with each other Plan activities for the duration of the community Execute research activities Run Activities Encourage co-creation Reward participation and share results The manager will minimise requirements Replenish Some members will inevitably drop out Define a replenishment cycle ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved

CHAPTER 6 Incentives
18.
ESTABLISH AND RUN
A POC Incentives Incentivising membership and participation depends on the nature of the community and type of brand it supports. For example some luxury brands, charity brands, aspirational and iconic brands automatically create an emotional bond among users and admirers. These groups of people require little additional incentive to participate in POC activities! However for most of us a little incentive is required to recognise and reward the time and attention participants give to their community. Although cash rewards can usually be effective in the short term, it helps to be a bit creative in order to build long term buy-in to a POC project. These options can include product tests and giveaways or contributions to charity. ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved
19.
ESTABLISH AND RUN
A POC The chart below shows a range of incentives available. The aim is to stimulate participation through active engagement rather than simple financial reward. It helps generate more of an emotional attachment to the community and affinity with the brand which in turn develops online advocacy. Two keys to developing engagement are: 1) Use interesting research tools and techniques (see How to use POCs for Co-Creation and other research) 2) Use an experienced community manager, whose role we will explain in the next section. ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved ©2012 DigitalMR® All rights reserved
