User engagement is best with multiple feature voting entries
List four or more ideas for feature voting. This increases user engagement. Users will find their favourite idea and vote for it. The more ideas to vote for, the better. Empty listings tend to receive little feedback whereas listings with many options available have a better chance of sparking interest with users.
Roadmap preview
Add a roadmap listing so users know what's next. We found that seeing what's next for a product increases user retention. Once their favourite feature is added to the product these users tend to be promoters of your product/app.
Be polite, responsive & engage for the long run
When receiving new feature requests or comments engage with the sender and build a relationship. Acklowledge all contributions, ask for details if unclear, listen to your users and build long lasting relationships.
How-to docs
