Asking your audience questions is a great method for getting valuable feedback on existing or new products/services!

Boost your engagement by asking your audience to fill-in-the-blank! Example: “Fill in the blank: My favourite thing to do after a long day of work is ____.”

5.    Conduct a Poll

People love sharing their opinions, and what better way to leverage that than conducting a poll?
The multiple-choice nature of polls makes it easy for your audience to participate.

Here’s another great way to humanize your brand! Feature one of your employees and have them post for a day, highlighting what they do.

Share photos of old events or company moments on a Thursday with the hashtags #ThrowbackThursday or #TBT.

12.    Share User-Generated Photos

Ask your customers to share photos of them using your products. As a bonus, request that they include a branded hashtag so that you can search and see them all!

13.    Influencer Take-Over

Collaborate with an influencer in your industry and let them take over your social media for a day or a week!
