Whether you are using Instagram to promote a new product or simply want to gauge the opinion of your audience, you can use Polls to make it happen. This article will help you create a poll around a hot topic. It will also show your followers that you care about their opinion. Follow these simple steps to get started. And don&#8217;t forget to share the results of your poll on your Stories Highlight!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_poll_around_a_trending_topic\"><\/span>Create a poll around a trending topic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new feature on Instagram lets you create a poll. Polls are great for gathering market research, event planning, and giveaway ideas. Keep up with trending topics so you can create effective polls. You can also use Instagram&#8217;s poll stickers. These emoji-based stickers reveal a question with a field for the audience to type their responses. The purpose of these stickers is to be fun and encourage interaction. To create a poll, simply slide the slider to the right and provide multiple choice answers.<\/p>\n<p>To create a poll on Instagram, go to the Stories feature. From here, you can edit the poll and choose response types. Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the poll&#8217;s content, you can share it with your audience. The poll remains visible for 24 hours. When the poll closes, you can view the results by viewing the stories of your followers. The polls appear in notifications and in the analytics screen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_your_poll_questions\"><\/span>Customize your poll questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create an effective Instagram poll, you can use an app. The app allows you to create a poll and then share it with your followers and non-followers. Once you have set up the poll, you can view the results in a bar chart. Instagram polls can also contain images, videos, and gifs. Basically, you can ask any kind of question on Instagram. However, the best way is to create a short poll.<\/p>\n<p>To create an Instagram poll, you first need to create an image or video for your post. You can also choose a color or gradient for your poll. After uploading an image, swipe up and access the Stickers menu. Select a question and edit the text on both sides. By default, the answer is yes or no. The poll is available for 24 hours. You can also share the results in your Story Highlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_images_videos_or_gifs\"><\/span>Include images, videos or gifs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Polls on Instagram are a fun way to interact with followers. You can ask any question you like, including a yes or no question, and you can customize your poll with an image or video from your camera roll. Instagram polls will display the number of responses, a breakdown of those votes, and overall results. You can even use your poll as a &#8220;hook&#8221; for a blog post or other digital content.<\/p>\n<p>Using GIFs is a great way to stoke the excitement. People like to see what others are thinking, and GIFs can convey a variety of emotions. Some television shows have even used GIFs to depict emotions, and audiences respond well to over-the-top reactions. GIFs can also convey excitement about a giveaway or event, or to show off a unique facial expression.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Redirect_your_audience_to_your_product_page\"><\/span>Redirect your audience to your product page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to leverage the power of Instagram&#8217;s Stories feature is by creating a poll. Sephora did this by asking followers which cosmetics they preferred and including a clickable link to their story. The poll encourages users to visit their blog or website and drives traffic to their business. By creating a poll, you can gauge your audience&#8217;s opinion and drive traffic to your product page.<\/p>\n<p>Using polls on Instagram is an excellent way to increase engagement with your followers and increase your sales. By asking followers what they think about a certain product or service, you can increase your chances of getting a conversion. You can even use Instagram polls to direct your audience to your product page. If your followers respond positively to the poll, they&#8217;ll likely make a purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Do a Poll on Instagram The possibilities for creating dynamic content are endless with Instagram Polls.
