Customer Community Platforms support the creation of advocacy groups around a brand, product or idea. Tools give customers the ability to share ideas about a product, research about the product and its role in the industry, and the capacity to offer technical and user support to one another. Forums within the platform may offer advice, give abilities for advocates to champion the product, and highlight problems before they reach the general public. Community platforms may be open in part or in whole to the public, to offer support and advice to prospects who are not yet customers.
