We see it all the time.<\/p>\n
Brands ask questions of their audience because they genuinely want to understand them better.<\/p>\n
Questions like\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you go to a zoo and look at the lions, do you ever wonder which of you is really the one in a cage?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n They want the answers so they can make content – or sometimes products – to solve their customers’ issues.<\/p>\n (In this instance, perhaps just a couple of hours with a therapist for the social media person\u2026)<\/p>\n But all they get is a handful of responses, and so they\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s a true reflection of their customers’ needs.<\/p>\n Or worse, they get no response at all – awkward.<\/p>\n (It\u2019s the lions. Obviously.)<\/p>\n But there\u2019s an easy fix.<\/p>\n Wrap your question up in a joke.<\/p>\n Or even just ask the same question directly<\/em> after making a joke.<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bStudies have shown that when you make customers laugh \u2013 you instantly become more likeable\u2026more persuasive\u2026and the person laughing becomes more open.<\/p>\n Which are all essential emotions when it comes to getting a response to questions.<\/p>\n For example, if you run the social media pages for Tinder, you could post this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And then, in the caption, ask:<\/p>\n \u201cDo the political views of a potential match matter to you?\u201d<\/p>\n Then they could use the feedback to inform future content – or even add new features.<\/p>\n (Like an AI tool that stops matches getting married if there\u2019s more than a 50% chance that the next election will lead to their divorce.)<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to drive floods of comments with your own brand-safe jokes, you should check out the sale we\u2019re currently having on Brands Against Mundanity: Graph Gags Edition.<\/p>\n You’ll get 31 fill-in-the-blanks templates like this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instructions on how to fill in the blanks to make your own awesome jokes.<\/p>\n And real-world examples from major bands to show you what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
