In a flooded online market, it is not enough to put some content online. B2C brands have to build conversations to actually reach out to consumers. Comment-driven campaigns are one of the best possible methods to generate meaningful interaction and get your content seen. The algorithms of social media are structured to encourage interaction, particularly in the comment form. The more the comments, the more visibility, reach, and finally conversions. How then can your brand prompt people to engage other than likes?
These are 7 ideas of comment-based campaigns that will be used to get more people engaged and push your content to the center stage.
This or That Polls
Humans enjoy expressing their preferences- and this-or-that questions are a low-effort means of getting responses fast.
Example:
Two outfits may be shared on a fashion brand, and the person may ask:
- Which fall look is your vibe? A or B?
- Comment and leave your choice!
These polls not only generate comments, but also give an idea about the customer preferences.
Once More, Pro Tip: Add some bright images to attract the eye and ask simple questions.
Caption Contests
And leave your audience to the creative work! Share a crazy or interesting picture and ask your followers to comment with captions.

- Bonus: Have a little something or a shout-out to the winner to encourage even more elevate your content visibility even more.
Tag a Friend Challenges
Ask your followers to invite their friends in the comment section to participate in a challenge, enter a giveaway, or make them laugh.
Example:
- #nominate someone who would wear these sneakers.
- Ask 3 friends who also love coffee as much as you do.
The tactic not just drives comments but also allows you to reach new audiences as well, naturally.
Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) Threads
Make your comment box a sort of mini support group or advice centre.
Ideas for B2C brands:
- One of the skincare brands may organize: Ask us anything about acne care.
- A practice at a pet food company may be: We are here to answer your dog’s nutrition. questions
Posting questions in the comments makes you a casual viewer and an active participant, and it also assists you in gaining trust and increasing the visibility of your post since it will remain active longer.
Emoji Reactions
It happens that fewer words = more comments. Use emojis to enable followers to share their ideas in a short period.
Example:
- Reaction: Use an emoji to state how you feel today!
- What one are you picking to eat? Comment with your emoji!”
This reduces the entry barrier and welcomes even timid users into the game.
Opinion-Based Questions
People love to be heard. Request feedback on popular topics, product releases, or news in the industry.
Example:
- Should pumpkin spice be overrated or necessary? Drop your take!
- What is the feature that you would like your phone to have? Let us know in the comments.
You not only improve the level of engagement, but also have access to important consumer insights.
Customer Feature Requests
Transform feedback into a dialogue. Request followers to tell you what they would like to see next: a new flavor, feature, or design.
Example:
- What should we launch next in terms of a new scent? Drop your ideas below!”
- Win a gift. Name our next product, best name wins, help us.
This will build a feeling of ownership in your audience and generate further conversation.
