Facebook Gold:  People love to give you their 2 cents!

schoweproperties 2 cents

Today I was reminded how much people love to give you their 2 cents.  If you ask your friends, family, clients, for help with a simple decision... they are more than happy to engage.  Especially if all they have to do is write a comment on Facebook. 

 

One of my projects this summer has been tiling tabletops with talavera tiles.  I experiment with different color themes and configurations, moving the tiles around until I land on a design I like. When I post the variations on Facebook and ask for help... peope can't resist choosing their favorite.  Kathy Schowe


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you make the options clear, 1-2-3-4 or A-B-C-D... you will get even more interaction. I posted this a few hours ago... and I've already received over 62 comments!  If you'd like to share your opinion you can find my post here: Kathy Schowe Facebook.

Earlier today I asked for help naming my armadillo... 30 comments!

 

 

 

I'm going to apply this concept to my Kathy Schowe Real Estate page by asking people to choose their favorite kitchen, favorite view, or front door color.  You get the picture. 🏡

With our clients at home, spending more time on social media- keep them engaged with fun posts... and believe me, they will give you their 2 cents! 💰

I is definitely interesting to receive Facebook comments.

Facebook is the only place where I receive hundreds of birthday greetings.

Good morning Kathy. I often ask a simple binary question (yes or no, A or B) and get answers that have nothing to do with either of the choices or even anything to do with my question. Such are my social media stresses. LOL. Personally, I like your first option.

Rocky Dickerson - Sometimes people will comment that I had no idea they were even paying attention to me.  It always surprises me!  Take care,  Kathy

Kathy you've been doing a great job of involving people with a 'happy' project.  It's good and has nothing to do with you know what which we're all sick of and have been forever!   So keep it up! It is Fun!

Hi Kathy- something I learned when I was staffing offices and calling on clients, people liked to be asked for help. It engages them. And your tiles are something that we can all comment on and have fun with and take our minds off the "other stuff"  BTW- I like the top left one!!!!

Kathy Schowe - Your innovation and creativity is original and a beautiful way to get others engaged, especially when you ask them for their opinion.  Your table tops are absolutely gorgeous! They look very expensive too! It must be so much fun to spread out all the tiles and build a beautiful mosaic. Personally, I like them all! I don't think I could settle for one. Four similar table tops but each unique is really awesome!

I think you're right, giving clear instructions is key to getting good results. And when you invite people into your world they want to give you support, their two cents, and to succeed! 

Kathy, I think you're brilliant!!!

Hi Kathy Schowe, engagement is always good but I don't know about taking their advice when it comes to certain things. Right now, all of SM is flooded with the election, lets see what happens after Tuesday.

Hi Beth Atalay , I've found that sharing your hobbies and things you are passionate about is a great way to engage people and create lloyal followers!  Take care,  Kathy

Engagement is what it's all about on social media, and asking for opinions like this is a great idea. And people respond!

This is a great idea, Kathy! Social media marketing is free and easy. This idea is a great way to keep folks engaged on your Facebook page. I am going to share your post with the agents in my office. Thanks!

I guess I am sneaking in sideways now since I can't seem to get into my old AR account! In any case Kathy I did reply to your FaceBook post you noted here. It was a great marketing post and I got the gist of it when I saw it. I see Rose King did too!

Hey Miss Sussie Sutton ... what's going on with that sideways picture girl??  Thanks for stopping by!  Kathy

Hi Kathy! I love your tile projects and agree that it's so nice to get great engagement - and it's more prominent on FB too!

I do a lot of 'this-or-that' on my business page and don't get a lot of engagement but, on my personal page, I get a lot when I share information about rehabilitating my home, etc. It's so crazy the difference!

LOVE all of your choices but, have to say that #1 and #4 are my faves. I like the edges in both of them.
