Key Points

  • Community management focuses on building authentic and meaningful relationships with current customers, while social media management aims at brand awareness and customer acquisition.
  • Effective community management can significantly reduce customer churn by offering genuine value and fostering trust rather than constantly pushing sales.
  • Small to medium-sized businesses, especially those owned by BIPOC communities, can greatly benefit from community management by enhancing customer retention and driving sustainable growth.
