We're LIVE with Teala in our #TeMasterClass about setting up reminders to increase engagement. Join us here: bit.ly/2UsQLe5 #TeMasterClass #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE

Reminders - They are engaging and help to demonstrate the "why". Examples - "We need your voice!" "have your voice heard" Also, set clear time constraints in your reminders "Only 5 days left to star thoughts" #TeVE #TeMasterClass AND clear CTA 💥

Hot tip from Teala - "The more personal your reminders are, the more likely people are to engage." You can add images! (word cloud!)The word cloud from your exchange can be very powerful to incentivize people to participate. 🌩️ #TeVE #TeMasterClass

Another great tip from Teala - Share a screenshot of the current top thought and welcome your stakeholders to join the conversation. #TeVE #TeMasterClass #TeVirtualEvents

Use your current communications tools that are already in place to leverage your exchange. Do you communicate internally like @SlackHQ? Send your reminder via email, social media, text message - All of the above? What is your preferred method for sharing reminders? #TeMasterClass

Look at your overview in the Discover Dashboard. Use these participation numbers to determine if you leave your exchange open longer. Use demographics data to send out targeted emails to certain groups that aren't engaging. #TeMasterClass

Hint - This is also useful if you are seeing that a certain group of a particular language isn't participating. The data in the Discover Dashboard will help you quickly and easily see who needs a reminder to join the conversation. #TeMasterClass

Bar view - This will quickly show you the themes that are coming out of your exchange. Use this to invite people to participate. Example "We invite you to share your thoughts on these trending themes" #TeMasterClass #TeVE

Great questions from our participants today like this one:

"When jumping back in, is it also possible to add more thoughts of my own? It sometimes takes me a while to think".

Yes! You can! Great question. Share, star and discover! #TeMasterClass #TeVE
