    1. Counting Down to Something Big<\/span><\/h3>\n

    A big day coming up? Or a discount for a limited time? Then, you must create hype by adding a countdown sticker to your story. This will create a buzz among your followers and also keep them excited for the big day!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Moreover, this sticker lets the viewers be reminded of the event when the countdown ends. As the countdown creator, you will be notified whenever an account has set a reminder for your countdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Countdown<\/p>\n

    This example shows Sephora, the multinational retailer, sharing a countdown for an Instagram live with the Makeup Guru Mario. This countdown ensures that the followers are informed of the upcoming live so they don\u2019t miss it. Additionally, those who have opted for a reminder will receive a notification once the countdown ends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Join the Poll Party!<\/span><\/h3>\n

    A Poll is an interactive sticker where you ask your followers a question and provide two to four options. Your followers can then participate by tapping on one of these options.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This sticker is perfect for engaging with your audience. Not only are they quick and fun, but they are beneficial for gathering opinions and making decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, if you have a small business on the platform, you can use the poll stickers to gather insights into customer preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Besides, you can also use this sticker for just fun and entertainment, like creating polls about pop culture to entertain your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Poll<\/p>\n

    While a poll lets your followers choose one of the limited options you provided, this sticker lets your followers give their unique take on different questions and topics, providing you with insights into their preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Using this kind of story is a great way to boost engagement and can also serve as an inspiration for future content ideas. You can use the Questions sticker to ask a question and then share the responses on your next story.

    You can use these quizzes to make your audience interact with your account (provided you have chosen an interesting topic for your quiz), conduct a contest and announce winners, and even give them a prize!<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"quiz<\/p>\n

    In this example, 9gag has quizzed about the popular anime series, One Piece. Similarly, you can ask questions relating to your niche and keep your audience entertained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    10. Supporting a Campaign to make a change<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Being a brand or an influencer gives us the extra responsibility of keeping our followers informed about current affairs, spreading awareness of a campaign or a cause you believe in, etc. You can even urge your followers to take action when necessary,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, you can raise awareness to donate to a good cause. This will not only help the campaign immensely by the donations, but you are also making a difference by spreading awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, it is essential to choose challenges that align with your brand or personal style and to ensure that your participation is genuine and authentic.<\/span><\/p>\n
