Scaling

How to scale a community around a boots brand

When your boots brand is scaling, you need to expand your community beyond your core group of early fans. You need to reach new people who fit your profile. By increasing your organic presence, you create a larger net to catch these potential fans. The goal is to keep your brand at the center of the conversation for your niche.

The problem

Boots brand, scaling: there is no real community around the brand.

01

The challenge of scaling community

As you grow, it is easy to become a faceless brand. To avoid this, you need to double down on your content. You need to keep the conversations going. By using a content network to stay visible, you remind your existing fans why they love your brand, while at the same time introducing it to a whole new audience. This is how you scale your community without losing the intimate, authentic feeling that your early fans appreciate so much.

02

Expanding your reach with a network

A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This is the perfect tool for scale. It allows you to maintain a massive, consistent presence across the internet. It ensures your brand is always there, always relevant, and always in front of your audience.

03

What to send a provider to start

Send TIDE your high-performing content. Focus on clips that have started conversations in the past. If you have videos of your community members or user-generated content, send those too. This is great for community building. The provider will distribute this across their network of pages. By keeping your content fresh and varied, you will reach more people and keep your current community members engaged, as they will see your brand reflected in many different contexts and conversations.

04

Staying the center of the conversation

A scaling brand needs to be a leader. You do this by being the most visible and the most active. Your managed network gives you the visibility. You provide the leadership. Keep engaging with your community, keep listening to their feedback, and keep adapting your brand based on what they say. If you do this, you will not just scale your business, you will scale a community that is as loyal as it is large, making your brand truly unbeatable.
