To use these templates, simply copy and paste your chosen prompt into your community channel, forum, or group. Encourage members to answer in the comments or replies. For extra engagement, follow up with a short response of your own or tag a few members to kick things off. Rotate these posts regularly to maintain variety and keep your audience interested. You can also adapt the templates to match your brand voice or specific lead gen niche.
Since these prompts are designed for all platforms, keep your This or That posts concise and visually distinct. Use clear formatting, such as line breaks or emojis, to highlight the two choices. Adapt your posting time and frequency to the habits of your community, whether it is on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, or Discord. Engage with every response to show appreciation and keep the momentum going.
