Why This Works

This or That prompts tap into our natural urge to pick sides and share opinions, making them a proven tactic for quick, low-pressure community engagement. By offering two simple choices, you lower the barrier for participation and make it easy for even shy members to jump in. The playful format encourages spontaneous conversation, helps members find common ground, and gives everyone a chance to express a little personality.

In print on demand communities, these prompts also surface insights about popular trends, product preferences, and creative habits. Members feel seen and heard, while managers gain valuable feedback in a lighthearted way. Ultimately, This or That posts build momentum, break the ice, and keep your group feeling lively and connected.
