The community membership is free and available to anyone who registers on the Love Wellness website. This is set up via Single Sign-On (SSO) and it allows customers and members to use the same credentials for the site and the community.

Topics such as Nutrition, Pregnancy, and Self-Care are used to categorize content in the community.

Groups are used to bring together community members based on shared interests and commonality. Consider these groups as sub-communities. For example, a group for women interested in cooking and another group dedicated to the wellness of women who are over 50 in terms of age.

Coming to post types, The Love Club makes use of Q&A/polls, discussions, and articles. According to Kacey Langston, community director of The Love Club, polls are great for driving engagement and generating customer insights.

The brand community is indeed a great channel to collect feedback and learn more about the customers. The insights generated from the community shape the business strategy, content, and communications based on customers’ exact needs.

Articles and videos on different topics are shared by the experts. These content assets play a crucial role in educating the members.

Expert insights shared in the community

The community is also deeply tied to the e-commerce portal of Love Wellness to drive stickiness. For example, members get virtual coins for community contributions and interactions. These points can be redeemed by the members for product orders.

The Reputation app is used for gamification — it allows members to earn scores based on their community activity and promotes healthy competition via a leaderboard system.

The Love Club, as a brand community is fully integrated across the customer journey. Customers stay engaged with the brand in both the pre and post-purchase stages by asking for help, offering advice, sharing personal experiences, and learning from the experts.

This enables Love Wellness to build stronger relationships, nurture the community and drive brand loyalty.

With a community-driven engagement model and constant effort to deliver value to customers via collaboration and education, Love Wellness is a powerful example of how brands should approach authentic relationship-building.
