offer them something in return. how will contributing to your product enable them?
What will they gain? status, social approval, money, future possibilities?

Nico Spijker · Answer

By keeping them in the loop and celebrating in an open setting!

We're actually building an open community to just right that. Our users can share feature feedback or suggestions which are directly discussed in a chat instead of messy discussion forums or email.

This keeps users engaged and excited about product improvements as well :).

Philip Snyder · Answer

Talk with them. Grow a relationship with them. Make them feel apart of the process.
