6 Tips for Social Media (Part 5 of 6)

Interactive Content

Engagement is key on social media. Host polls, surveys, quizzes, or contests to actively involve your audience. These interactive elements can also provide valuable feedback and insights.

Engagement posts will always get the most interaction or a very close second to pictures of yourself. When we post an engagement post we are asking a very easy question encouraging our followers to give their opinions.

Examples of engagement posts that work really well this time of year are:

• Do you open Chanukah presents every night, or just on the last night?

• Do you wrap your Christmas presents from Santa?

• Which is better: Hot Cocoa or Hot Apple Cider?

• Do you like a live Christmas tree or a ‘packaged’ one?

This type of post allows people to interact with you and your business without having to burn too many brain calories. It is important to interact with each comment you get on these posts.

Pay attention to who is commenting. This will show you who is seeing your posts on a regular basis but may not be commenting.

A Fun Fact To Share

Chopsticks were initially used for cooking, not eating: In ancient China, chopsticks were developed over 5,000 years ago as cooking utensils for stirring and serving food. It wasn't until later that they became popular as eating utensils.

Different countries use different chopstick etiquette: While most people assume that chopstick etiquette is the same across all Asian countries, it actually differs from one country to another. For instance, in Japan, it is considered impolite to pass food directly from one pair of chopsticks to another, as it is associated with funerary rituals.

Chopsticks come in different shapes and sizes: Despite chopsticks generally being long and thin, they can vary significantly in shape and size across different regions. Chinese chopsticks tend to be longer, while Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more tapered. Korean chopsticks are made of metal and often have a flat rectangular shape. The variations are a result of cultural differences and practical considerations.
