1. Be Proactive with Community Management

Interacting with your users on a regular basis can drastically improve user sentiment - and not just when something goes wrong! Proactive community management involves asking for feedback, offering solutions, and genuinely caring about the user's overall experience. By creating a sense of community, you’re showing customers and suppliers that you care about them on a personal level, thus creating a stronger, stickier relationship on both sides of the market.

2. Automate Processes with Efficient Tech Solutions

No one likes dealing with slow, manual processes, especially when they're busy running a business. It's crucial to keep the user's experience swift and efficient. Automate your segmentation, incentives, and communications, to provide an engaging, seamless user-experience. Nobody wants to waste time struggling with spreadsheets and queries when they could be focusing on their core business.

3. Establish a Robust Incentives Program

Short-term incentives are good but having a strong, long-term incentives program is even better. It's not only about offering a lower price or a one-time discount. It's also about providing value that keeps users coming back for more. This involves strategic planning and rigorous experimentation to ensure that your incentive structures are not merely attractive but also efficient and well-targeted.

4. Differentiation

Understanding what makes your platform unique in comparison to your competitors is essential. Showcase these differentiating factors across your platform, and communicate directly with customers and suppliers through engaging, embeddable surfaces. This would retain user loyalty and mitigate high churn rates.
