Social has nowadays become a very important part of the online business world. No matter what your business niche is, your users might crave for a comfortable and user-friendly online space where they can interact with the company, ask for help, manage their purchases (in case of Ecommerce businesses), and even interact with other users. Giving your customers an option to be a part of the business by creating individual user profiles makes them feel like family and increases trust.
In physical businesses, customers are given many ways to be able to interact with the company, ask help, and everything else, but what about the online platform. Is your online business providing enough tools and options for your customers or new users to interact with the business? If not, you need to start working on it. The most convenient way to increase interaction with customers is giving them a chance to become a member of your company, or at least of your website.
A user profile option or user community is the best way to do so. User profiles are also important in the case when you are selling services or products online and need to maintain buyers’ records. As registered users, your existing and potential customers can fully interact with your website as well as manage their personal records in an elegant manner.
Luckily, WordPress offers several plugins for WordPress websites to easily integrate awesome user profile options, registrations & logins, user community, paid memberships, social options, chats, messaging, etc. UserPro is one such WordPress plugin developed by DeluxeThemes to make user profiles more interactive, eye-catching, feature-rich, and social ready.
