Why This Works

This or That prompts work because they remove barriers to participation. Members do not have to think hard or worry about giving the perfect answer. Instead, they can just pick a side and join the fun. This low-pressure format is especially effective for health communities, where members may feel shy about sharing personal details.

When people see simple, relatable options, they are more likely to respond spontaneously. These quick-fire questions break the ice, encourage new voices, and boost a sense of belonging. Over time, frequent participation in lighthearted posts like these helps foster trust and increases community loyalty.

How to Use These Templates

Pick a template and post it as a question or poll in your community. Encourage members to reply with their choice, and consider asking them to share why if they feel comfortable. Rotate between different health topics and post at various times to reach more members. You can also use them as conversation starters in chat threads, stories, or live sessions for instant engagement.

Best Practices

  • Choose topics that are universally relatable and easy to answer.
  • Keep options clear and fun without requiring deep expertise.
  • Post regularly but mix up themes to maintain interest.
  • Encourage (but never require) members to explain their choices.
  • Respond to answers to nurture ongoing conversation.

All Platforms Tips

These templates are designed for all platforms. Use images, polls, or stories for visual impact on Instagram and Facebook, or post as text threads in forums and chat groups. Adapt your posting time to when your audience is most active. Always keep the tone light and friendly, and consider pinning a weekly This or That thread for consistent participation.
