Social media helps you
reach customers.

AND

TCR Communities helps you
understand them.

The way it works now

You already have customers.
How often do you ask them?

You post. You promote. You launch. You spend. And most of the time you find out what people wanted after the decision was already paid for.

How it works

Five steps.
The first one takes four minutes.

No integration, no migration, no consultant. Every screen below is the product as it exists today.

STEP 01

Bring them closer

Your logo, your cover and your name lead the room, and your members see your business first. It runs on The Creative Network, so there is nothing for you to host or maintain. You get a six-character code and a QR sheet the moment the room exists.

STEP 02

Put it where they already are

The counter, the table, the lobby, the receipt, the window, the story. The people who already come to you scan it and they are in.

STEP 03

Ask

Two photos and one question. Polls, this or that, interest checks, open questions. Answers come back the same day.

STEP 04

Understand

Not a wall of charts. Plain sentences about what your community keeps telling you, and what to do about it next.

STEP 05

Activate

Turn the answer into an event, an offer or an announcement that reaches everyone at once, without paying for reach.

Community Intelligence · customers, clients, audiences, members
Pattern

Your customers respond to experiences more than to discounts. Every time.

Timing

Friday consistently outperforms Thursday, across your last three asks.

Trend

Interest in Sunday programming is rising. Up in each of the last three campaigns.

Said, then did

Forty-seven said they were interested. Thirty-one registered. Twenty-four came. You now know your own conversion.

Recommended next

Test it before you commit the kitchen: “Would you come to Sunday Feijoada once a month?”

Community need

Your brand leads every screen your members see. The platform underneath is The Creative Network, kept running and updated by us, so there is nothing for you to build or maintain.

One sign-up

You click once.
Three things get built.

There is no separate setup for any of it. Create your community and your account, your profile and your business page are made at the same time, with what you already typed in.

Start free
01
Your account and profile
A real profile on the Network and a digital card you can share, built from your name and photo.
02
Your business page
Your logo, cover and category, discoverable by the people looking for what you do, with your offerings and your enquiries in one inbox.
03
Your community
The room with your brand on it, its own code and its QR sheet, ready to print before you close the tab.
One account across the whole ecosystem. Your members get all of it too, which is why they come back for more than your room.
Turn the door into the door

People are already
walking past you.

One printed sheet turns the traffic you already have into a community you can ask. Put it where they wait, where they pay, and where they look up. It is free to join, and members get exclusive offers.

On the counterWhile they wait for the card machine.
On the tableA table tent beside the menu.
In the lobbyElevator, mailroom, notice board.
On the receiptPrinted on every order that leaves.
In the windowA sticker facing the street.
In a storyThe same code, sized for the phone.

Every asset comes out of the room with your logo, your colours, your code and your QR already on it.

Ask your community

The fastest market research
you already have access to.

Your own customers. Six ways to ask, depending on what you need to know. Pick one to see it.

This or that
Two or more options, each with its own photo. One winner.
Poll
Up to five options when it is not a duel.
Would you come
Yes, maybe, no. Before you book the room.
Pick a date
Let them choose when, not just whether.
Interest check
Is there demand at all, before you build it.
Open question
Answers come only to you. That is why they are honest.
Which one becomes the house drink?

“The music is too loud to talk on Fridays. We stopped coming with my parents because of it.”
“Would love a vegetarian main that is not a salad.”
“Waiting at the door in winter. A heater would fix it.”
Private to the host, always. There is no setting that changes it.
Use cases

TWELVE WAYS TO STOP GUESSING.

Twelve groups, twelve questions, twelve decisions that used to be a guess.

Booked the extra kitchen shift for a number, not a hunch.
Rooftop barbecue or movie night on the terrace?
0%chose the barbecue

Who actually answered

A tap is not an answer.

You can already run a poll on a story. The problem is not the poll, it is what you get back from it.

A sticker on a story
  • You do not know who tapped it
  • Most of them will never buy from you
  • Answered in half a second, while scrolling
  • Gone in twenty-four hours
  • Nothing carries into the next decision
  • You cannot tell a buyer from a passer-by
  • Nobody you can follow up with
An ask in your community
  • Every answer belongs to a member with a name and a profile
  • They joined because they already buy from you
  • They opened it on purpose, not mid-scroll
  • The answer stays, and the pattern builds
  • You can ask the same people again next month
  • You can announce the result to exactly them
  • Six months in, you know how your own people behave
Fifty taps from strangers tell you almost nothing. Twenty answers from people who already pay you tell you what to build next.

Ask first.
Build second.

Customers, clients, audiences, students, members, residents, tenants. Different words for the same thing: the people already around what you are building, who should help decide what you build next.

Market research, built in

NOT EVERY TREND IS YOUR TREND.

Communities is market research without the research firm invoice. Validate an idea before you build it. Test a concept before you spend on it. Get honest, clean answers from named members, counted live, exportable, and ready to defend in front of a client or a boss. Trends tell you what people want. Your community tells you what YOUR people want.

  • Idea validation and concept testing
  • Demand measurement before launch
  • Results you can export and present
For creators, coaches and consultants

Stop inventing your buyer persona.

Sarah, 34, likes coffee and yoga. You made her up in a workshop. Meanwhile you have two hundred real people who already follow your work, already pay you, and already know what they need next.

Your best customer research is already buying from you.

Before you record forty-two lessons

Three questions.
One week.
Then build.

A course takes six to nine months. An ask takes two minutes. Run these three in a week and you will know what to make, how to deliver it and what it is worth, before you buy a single microphone.

Your audience is not asking for another branding course. They are asking how to get paid. That is a different product.

What that just saved you

They want you in the room, not a video library. Run one cohort in six weeks instead of editing for six months.

Price it with the people who would pay it, not against a competitor you found on Google.

That is a reason to join. “Join my new community” is not.
The difference

Reach is not the same
as understanding.

Keep posting. Reach is how people find you. This is what happens after they do.

You do not have to
believe us. Ask your customers.

That is the whole argument, and it is the same thing we are selling you. Open the room, put the QR on the counter, ask one real question before you spend money on something. Then decide whether it was worth the afternoon.

4Upgrade only when understanding it becomes worth paying for

Your customers already
have opinions.

Start building with them. It costs an afternoon and nothing else, and the first honest answer usually pays for the whole thing.

Your room is free to open. You pay only when understanding it becomes worth paying for.
