XM Trading Point, a leading player in the financial services industry, has made a name for itself by empowering users worldwide to trade with confidence. Known for its innovative approach and global reach, XM caters to both seasoned traders and beginners, offering a robust platform that simplifies trading. Yet, the company recognized the growing need to not only educate its users but also foster a more engaged and interactive community within its platform.

<sprscript-green>The Challenge<sprscript-green>

Empowering users through education and engagement

As XM Trading Point expanded its services, the company encountered a unique set of challenges. First, they needed a system to deliver high-quality educational content directly to their users, teaching them how to trade effectively. Secondly, while working with a network of financial influencers, these experts operated independently, leaving XM without a centralized way to engage users on their platform. Additionally, XM wanted to increase user engagement and time spent within their app to ensure their community remained active and loyal. Ultimately, the goal was clear: to boost trading activity by creating a dynamic, interactive environment where users could learn, connect, and trade.

Transforming trading with livestreaming and social features

XM Trading Point turned to Social+ because of its unmatched ability to integrate advanced social features directly within their platform. The livestream capabilities offered by Social+ provided a perfect avenue for delivering real-time educational content, hosted by trusted influencers and experts. Beyond livestreaming, XM saw the potential to expand their social features with chat and interactive groups, creating a holistic user experience. The flexibility to implement these solutions across multiple parts of their trading ecosystem made Social+ a clear choice.

Building community with discussion groups and real-time content

XM’s first step was to launch social discussion groups and livestreaming for their South African market, targeting one of their most engaged user bases. Discussion groups became hubs where users could connect on topics like investment strategies, short selling, and cryptocurrency trends. These interactions not only fostered a collaborative learning environment but also allowed users to share insights, ask questions, and build community ties.

At the same time, XM leveraged Social+’s livestream feature to enable influencers and financial experts to create and share content directly on the platform. From tutorials on reading stock charts to tips on market trends, this content delivered practical knowledge while keeping users engaged in real time. By combining interactive social features with expert insights, XM turned its app into a one-stop destination for trading education and collaboration.

Fostering engagement and increasing trading activity

The results of XM’s partnership with Social+ were transformative. User engagement surged as discussion groups and livestreams attracted a steady flow of activity. Casual investors became more active, with a noticeable increase in trading frequency, while time spent in the app grew significantly. Users appreciated the platform’s accessibility and its role as a trusted source of trading education.

The success of these initial features has also enhanced XM’s brand reputation as a leader in both trading and education.

With the early success in South Africa, XM Trading Point is preparing to roll out these features across additional markets, broadening their reach and user base. The company is also exploring new opportunities to expand its social ecosystem by introducing chat capabilities and other interactive tools in various parts of the platform. By continuing to leverage Social+, XM is positioning itself as the go-to platform for traders worldwide, combining education, engagement, and empowerment in one seamless experience.
