Make a PollTips, Tools & Best Practices
Discover the secrets to crafting captivating polls that collect the information you need from your audience and keep them coming back for more.
Make Them Think
Ask questions that push the envelope. Whether it’s on Facebook or any other platform, people respond well to poll questions that invite them to examine their own attitudes and opinions.
Make Them Laugh
Humor is a strong marketing tool. So ask a light-hearted, funny question or incorporate witty answers to keep your audience engaged and entertained.
Make It a Conversation
When creating a poll, think of it as initiating a conversation with your audience. In other words, be friendly, show interest, and encourage feedback. To do so simply ask a question that will make them want to continue the chat. Before you know it you’ll be building more and better relationships with potential power users.
Make It Count
Since you’re asking only one question, make sure it’s a good one – it should be clear and concise, engaging, and easily understood. Additionally, your answer options should be clearly different from each other – overlap can be confusing – and cover all possible answers so that nobody feels left out or unable to answer. Looking to ask more than one question? No problem, make a Facebook quiz or a Facebook survey.
Make It Your Own
Let’s face it, there’s a lot of great content out there and almost everything has been done before. So all you can do to stand out is be yourself. Customize the voice & tone as well as the look & feel of your poll. Make it special by treating it with the creativity and care you feel towards your business and target audience.
Make It Exciting
Some people like to be unique, other types want to be like everyone else. But everyone wants to know what other people answered. So build suspense by displaying the voting results only after they cast their own vote. To do this, keep the box next to “Allow viewing results before voting” unchecked (it’s the default, so you don’t need to do anything).
FAQs
Is the poll feature available on Facebook?
Yes, it’s called Facebook Polls, and you can use it in Facebook Groups, Messenger group chats, or Events. All you need to do to access it is select the Facebook Group, group chat, story, or virtual event page you want to post in, choose the poll option from the options menu, enter a question and possible responses, and post.
However, if you want to add images or share a poll in a post or in a one-on-one conversation you can use an independent poll tool, and share the link. This will also give you more control over the design, which can help boost engagement and participation.
Why can't I create a poll in Facebook Messenger?
If you can’t see the poll icon in a Messanger chat it could be because you’re in a one-on-one conversation and the poll feature is only accessible in a Group chat. Another reason could be that it is not supported in your country. For example, you might not be able to create one in Japan or in European countries.
