You may know that engagement with your customers is important, however, maybe you don’t understand different ways to get that engagement up and running – or maybe you just need fresh, new ideas on how to keep it going.

Here are four great ideas for engaging customers on Facebook:

1. Take a Guess
   Buy something that will interest your followers, such as candy, golf balls, perhaps little squirrels. Fill a jar, take a photo and post. If you don’t offer a prize, just post the picture and wait for engagement. You might want to start things off with a guess from yourself or convince a friend to help out. Remember that if you decide to provide a prize, you will have to comply with Facebook Page Guidelines. Don’t forget to put a time limit on the game as well. This helps create a sense of urgency to participate.
2. Ask a Friend
   Start by posting an questions that give an either/or option, state the next person to post a comment needs to reply and then pose their own question.
3. Feature a Film or Theme Song
   Ask the question: “If your life was a movie/book/song, which would it be?” Don’t forget to start off by answering the question yourself.
4. Create a Story
   Involve your fans in a story! Create a graphic or post that shares the first sentence to a story and don’t forget to outline the instructions to the game. Such as: “1. Write the next sentence of the story in a comment below. 2. Be sure to read the previous comment so you know what is happening! 3. Share the story to keep it going.” This is a great way to bring your fans closer together, as well as make them feel closer to you and your brand.
