17 social media prompts to engage a conversation

Keeping followers engaged with the content posted to your account is critical to continuing to grow support for your brand. When content is well-received by viewers, they’re more likely to leave a comment or like the post. Engaging followers also builds loyalty, making your brand the “go-to” for viewers interested in the area of subject matter you cover. There is more than one way to personalize content and engage followers, which includes using prompts like quotes, facts, and questions. Below are examples of prompts that catch the viewer’s attention.

1. Share your mission and backstory. For example: “Get to know us by checking out our mission and backstory!”
2. Share information, like, “today is our company’s 5th anniversary and we want to share some memories with you!”
3. Talk about the work you do. For example: “Step into our office and let us tell you about the work that goes on behind the scenes.”
4. Introduce yourself, especially if you are a co-creator of a brand. For example: “Wondering who the face was behind all the magic being created here?”
5. Post a motivational quote. For example: “You learn more from failure than from success. Don’t let it stop you. Failure builds character.” – Unknown
6. Post an inspirational quote. For example, “People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Rob Siltanen
