How to Write a Community Welcome Message (Tips and Examples)
A good community welcome message has three parts: a warm greeting, community introduction and tips for members to get involved.
Whenever a new community is created on Jatra, we automatically set up a welcome message for you to get you started.
Here’s how to write a great welcome message for community members:
Start with warm greeting
Begin with a warm introduction. Make people feel included and excited to be a part of something new. If possible, personalise it for the community. For example -
Hey Guitar Legends! (for community of guitarists)
Dear future Business Tycoons! (for community of startup owners)
Hello Foodies! (for community centered around food)
Welcome, Fitness Warriors! (for health and wellness community)
Introduce the Community
Next, introduce the community quickly. Highlight the purpose and “why” does the community exist. Think as if you are introducing the community to a friend.
This community is a home for indie creators who love building, sharing and learning together. Whether you’re launching your first project or fiftieth, you’ll find support, ideas and inspiration here.
Welcome to a space where fitness is fun, goals are celebrated and every small win matters. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned athlete, you’re in a great company here.
If you believe good food brings people closer, you’re in the right place. This community is all about swapping recipes, sharing food stories and celebrating the job of cooking (and eating!) together.
Share simple ways for members to get involved
Once you have welcomed your new community members, show them the easiest path to interacting with the community. It’s important to keep it super simple. For example:
Start your journey by liking this post!
Let’s get to know you. Head over to the introduction section (link to it)
