Partly, I write about these things because I need something to write about, but mostly to get some engagement from my social media friends.
Yesterday, I shared the blog post with an excerpt that said “What's your favorite cocktail? Is it one of the five presented here? Or is it something different?”. I got a couple of suggestions and I'll probably get more today.
Also yesterday, I shared a photo of some nutty fudge that I got from SendOutCards:
As you can see, I had 2 calls to action on this post...the first was inviting them to see the comments if they wanted some fudge, since there will be a drawing for some free fudge this afternoon, and the second was to click on the link for this blog (which I include on all of my posts for interesting days to celebrate).
I ended up with 6 people signed up for a drawing that will have 3 winners. I'm sure that all six of them will be watching the Facebook Live, along with others I'm sure.
Again, this is all for engagement.
My biggest engagement came with a pumpkin spice caramels giveaway. It was originally going to be a one time drawing but it ended up lasting 9 weeks I think. This particular drawing required action on the part of the entrants. They got a ticket into the drawing for watching a SOC video, sharing the video with others and several other activities. More engagement.
Engagement is the primary purpose of the Interesting days segment. You can use these days to send cards or gifts to clients or prospects. Or you can use them for drawings. Or just for engagement.
Although, I highly recommend checking out the blog every day, since I often cover things that will be of use to business people (such as this post). But if you can't read it every day, then check out Friday and Saturday's posts. Friday's post is a summary of the articles published that week, while Saturday's is a compilation of the interesting days from the current week, the upcoming week, and the same week in the following month. If that's too much, there's a monthly recap published on the first Sunday of every month for the preceding month.
So, check out the most recent editions (at the time of this writing) of the week in review, your weekend guide to interesting days and the month in review. You can always find the most recent posts here.
