These templates work on all platforms. On forums, post as new threads to spark long discussions. On chat-based platforms, use as quick polls or icebreakers. On social media, pair with engaging images or GIFs to boost visibility.
These templates can be customized to present scenarios such as: 'You notice your best-selling ASIN is running low just as Prime Day approaches—do you risk overstocking or understocking?'

Try adapting scenarios such as: 'Your product suddenly loses the Buy Box to a competitor offering a lower price—do you match their price or try to differentiate with enhanced content?'
