Best Practices

Word of Mouth:

When in meetings or organization outings, start telling people about your HUB and have them login/register for the HUB with you there. It's helpful to get them in right there on the spot so they can ask you questions as they navigate the HUB for the first time. 

Social Media Sharing:

If your HUB is external-facing, use the Share icons on your Posts to share content to your social media sites. Sharing links from your HUB to these different sites will get users into the HUB and interacting with your content. If you’re constantly redirecting them to the HUB and giving them the content they need, they’ll organically start going there without your help.

Importing from a Mailing List:

You may have a mailing list that you use now to communicate with your Users. Once you determine a date to launch, send a regular email communication to those Users, letting them know that your new HUB is coming and what they need to know. 

In this email, we recommend giving them key dates, like when your HUB will be live, and for them to be on the lookout for an email inviting them to join the HUB. If you don’t give them a heads-up and invite them directly, some users may ignore the general invitation because they’ll have no idea what it’s for and think it’s spam. It's always best to give your Users a heads-up before inviting them to your HUB. 

Now it’s time to get in there and start building your own IHUBApp! Remember, if you have questions, we have a fabulous FAQ Channel with plenty of Posts to help you out.
