To make the most of these templates, simply copy and paste a question as a new community post or discussion starter. Rotate through different scenarios to keep things fresh and relevant. Encourage members not only to choose but to explain their reasoning, which helps deepen conversations. Try pinning a Would You Rather post on slow days to boost activity, or use them as icebreakers for new members.
For all platforms, use engaging visuals or emojis to make your Would You Rather posts stand out. Encourage quick replies by reminding members there are no wrong answers. On chat-based platforms, try using polls alongside open-ended prompts to increase participation.
When referencing platforms such as Shopify or WooCommerce, consider using inclusive language like 'Would you rather launch your store on Shopify or WooCommerce?' and, if your community uses multiple platforms, periodically rotate which ones you mention. You can also run occasional open-ended prompts to let members highlight their own platforms, ensuring everyone feels represented and engaged.
Scenarios such as 'Would you rather deal with a sudden inventory stockout or a spike in abandoned carts?' directly tap into daily ecommerce challenges. These types of prompts resonate because they reflect real decisions sellers face, sparking meaningful discussion and advice-sharing among members who have experienced similar issues.
Design prompts like 'Would you rather run an A/B test on your product page or automate a cart recovery email sequence?' These not only prompt members to choose but also encourage them to discuss their experiences, favorite tools, or results, leading to valuable knowledge exchange and peer support.
Alternate between fun, customer-facing scenarios like 'Would you rather offer free shipping or 10% off?' and deeper business decisions such as 'Would you rather invest in better product photos or enhance your checkout process?' This keeps engagement high while also surfacing valuable strategic insights.
Acknowledge the differences by occasionally segmenting prompts: for B2C, use scenarios like 'Would you rather launch a flash sale or a loyalty program for your DTC customers?' For B2B, try 'Would you rather expand your wholesale catalog or implement a volume discount system?' You can also run dual prompts or let members self-identify which path they relate to.
Absolutely! Frame trending topics in relatable dilemmas, such as 'Would you rather invest in a TikTok Shop integration or revamp your packaging to be 100% recyclable?' This keeps your content timely and encourages members to discuss how they're adapting to new trends, sharing strategies and insights along the way.
