25 October 2022

Do you want to make family happy with your messages? We give you useful tips to write nice messages on Familynet. It is useful that you take on the role of ‘journalist’. Last time we showed the importance of good photos. Now let’s look at the information needs of your readers.

Tip 4: What is the sensitive chord of the family?
A writer is always looking for the sensitive chord of his readers. This also applies to you if you post messages on Familynet. After all, you want to make the family feel good. To discover the sensitive chord, you need to know how the family works and what is important to them. For example, does the family care about the appearance of their father or mother? Or mainly humour? Perhaps people like to see music play a role in their lives? Once you’ve answered those questions, you can easily pick out the topics that will score well.

How: Is the appearance the touchstone? A message about mother who has been to the hairdresser (or the manicure) with a happy photo will always be a hit. In a ‘music family’ you naturally choose the concert in the restaurant as the subject. A text like ‘your mother recognized Strauss’ melodies immediately’ will be appreciated.

If you know the sensitive chords and adjust your messages accordingly, you can never go wrong on Familynet.
