Tired of slow days in your reselling community? Spark instant interaction with playful This or That prompts designed just for resellers. These ready-made templates make it easy to break the ice and keep conversations flowing.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
This or That posts are effective because they require minimal effort from members to participate. By presenting two simple choices, you lower the barrier for engagement and invite even your quietest members to join in. The format taps into people's natural desire to share opinions and compare preferences in a lighthearted way.
For reselling communities, This or That prompts are especially powerful. They help members bond over common experiences, highlight differences in sourcing and selling styles, and create a sense of camaraderie. When members see others responding, it creates a snowball effect, encouraging more participation and fostering an inclusive atmosphere.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste your favorite prompt into your community platform. Post at times when engagement is usually low or as a regular weekly feature to maintain interest. Encourage members to explain their choices for richer discussions. You can even customize prompts to match current trends or your community's specific niche. Rotate through different topics to keep things fresh and appealing to both new and veteran members.
For all platforms, keep prompts visually simple and easy to read. Use clear formatting, such as bold or emojis, if supported, to highlight the two choices. Pin popular This or That posts for ongoing participation and consider using polls if the platform allows. Always follow up with replies or reactions to keep the thread active.
Comparing platforms like eBay vs. Poshmark is highly engaging, as many resellers are constantly weighing the pros and cons of each. You can alternate between platform-focused questions (e.g., 'eBay vs. Depop for vintage finds?') and sourcing strategies (e.g., 'Thrift stores vs. online liquidation?') to appeal to both new and experienced sellers. This approach sparks discussion about real-world reselling scenarios.
Designing This or That posts around challenges such as 'Poly mailers vs. boxes for fragile items?' or 'Organized bins vs. clothing racks for inventory?' encourages members to share solutions based on their experience. These targeted prompts help surface tips that can directly improve members' reselling processes.
Use prompts like 'Auction vs. Buy It Now pricing?' or 'Undercutting vs. holding out for your price?' to get members talking about their sales tactics. This sparks conversations about maximizing profits, navigating competition, and adapting to market trends, all of which are core concerns for resellers.
Controversial topics like 'Manual listing vs. cross-listing software?' or 'Retail arbitrage vs. thrift flipping?' can generate strong opinions. When using these templates, set clear community guidelines about respectful discussion, and consider providing context in the post description to keep debates constructive and informative.
Absolutely! Prompts such as 'Garage sale season vs. holiday sales—where do you make more?' or 'Q4 prepping vs. summer slowdown strategies?' help your community share time-sensitive insights. These prompts foster engagement around planning and adapting to industry cycles unique to reselling.
Balance your prompts by mixing questions about scale (e.g., 'Part-time hustle vs. full-time business?') with those about universal experiences (e.g., 'Listing in batches vs. daily?'). This approach ensures all members—from casual sellers to pros—feel included and see value in participating.
