Conduct a Poll
Engage your audience by using a poll to get their opinions. People love it when they can feel like they are a part of a community, and that your business cares about their voices. This is also a great way to create content that your audience wants to see from you, instead of guessing at what they may want to see. You can even share the results of the poll with your audience as they may be interested in knowing.
Share a Story
Most of your fans would be elated to be asked to share their story in regards to your business and products. Have your audience submit their stories and choose one to share once a week, or however frequently you would like. Sharing these stories allow your audience to connect with each other, and builds a strong community around your brand. Also, don’t be afraid to share your own story with your audience. This is an amazing way to engage them where they will feel more connected to you as a person, rather than just a business.
Caption Contest
Do you have a funny or interesting picture featuring your product? Instead of captioning it yourself, have your fans do it for you. Everyone loves creating captions and some of them can get pretty crazy and creative. You can even make a contest of it, and have a small prize for the caption you have chosen. Make it fun and all about your fans.
