Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
This or That prompts tap into the psychology of quick decision-making. Because the options are simple and non-judgmental, members feel comfortable joining in, even if they rarely post. The playful tone reduces pressure and makes participation a lighthearted activity rather than a commitment.
In menopause communities, topics can sometimes feel heavy or personal. This or That posts offer a gentle way for members to connect over shared experiences, preferences, or even small daily choices. They foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, which can be especially important during life transitions. Plus, the low-effort format removes barriers to entry, encouraging more frequent participation across all member types.

Start by picking a template that matches your community's current vibe or season. Post it with a friendly invitation for members to respond, and consider adding a personal answer of your own to get things going. Rotate between different types of prompts to keep things fresh, and use member replies as a way to spark longer conversations or follow-up posts. You can also feature a weekly This or That day to build anticipation and routine engagement.
On all platforms, use clear formatting to highlight your two options, such as bolding or using emojis. Pin popular threads for more visibility and encourage replies by tagging members who may enjoy lighter prompts. Adapt language and visuals to suit the platform's style, whether it's a forum, Facebook group, or chat app.
You can create 'This or That' posts that directly compare common menopause management options, such as 'Hormone Replacement Therapy vs. Herbal Supplements.' This not only encourages members to share their personal experiences, but also normalizes open discussion about sensitive treatment choices. Be sure to provide context and encourage respectful sharing, as opinions about treatments can be deeply personal.
When addressing symptoms, use empathetic language and offer options that validate everyone's experience. For example, ask, 'Which bothers you more: hot flashes or night sweats?' and add a supportive note, such as 'No two menopause journeys are the same—share what works for you!' This helps create a safe space while still gathering valuable insights.
Build prompts around the real-life challenges your members face, like 'Which do you find harder to manage: sleep disruptions or mood swings?' This encourages sharing coping strategies and normalizes these experiences, making members feel less isolated. Encourage follow-up discussions to deepen engagement and support.
Addressing taboo topics can be powerful for connection, but should be done thoughtfully. Frame questions sensitively, e.g., 'Which change surprised you most: shifts in libido or changes in weight?' Set clear guidelines for respectful conversation and be ready to moderate comments to ensure a safe, supportive environment.
Plan your 'This or That' posts around key dates, such as World Menopause Day, and tailor content to current campaigns (e.g., 'Menopause at Work vs. at Home: Where do you feel more supported?'). This boosts relevance and participation, and can open the door for sharing resources or event information.
Create targeted prompts like 'Are you navigating peri-menopause or post-menopause?' or 'Which phase brought more unexpected changes for you?' This helps members self-identify, find peers at a similar stage, and fosters supportive sub-conversations. You can also tailor resources and follow-ups based on their responses.
