People talk in different tones when it comes to “user engagement”, they create their own definitions varying upon the business type and domain.

User engagement is the emotional connection between a user and a brand. It has been observed that, highly engaged users buy more, promote more, and bespeak more loyalty. In basic marketing terms user engagement is a synonym given to customer engagement.

For a fuss app an engaged user should be logging in every day to add and complete items whereas for an invoicing app an engaged user might only log in once per month. Stated goal is to improve customer satisfaction at every stage of experience, and since every brand is focused to meet this goal this creates a competitive difference. User engagement is the analysis of the time spent on website, flow of activity and click action of the user. Tracking these stats of spending time and action proves to be the essential starting measures in assessing the growth graph.

A customer doesn’t need to engage with the brand only, they are in the air to interact amongst themselves to add a pinch of trust and build communities run on their own.
