Collect leads online in a multi-poll
Ever since the rise of newspapers, people have loved polls. It doesn't matter what's the subject - as humans, we love being asked what we think.
Why is this important?
Leverage our quiz creator to easily make a multi-poll to boost your site's engagement and retention. It could be topical ("What do you think about «your topic»?") or you can use it for customer insights ("Pick your favorite logo" or "What product should we build next?").
The net impact on your audience?
They'll feel more emotionally engaged - your users will stay longer and come back more often. You can use our test maker to quickly create polls that increase engagement and retention on your website.
Just asking your audience to weigh in with their opinions pays big dividends. It could be "Choose our new logo" or "Which article did you like best?"" - answering makes each user feel engaged with your site. This has a huge positive impact on how much time they spend on your site.
Add in the ability to collect emails and leads - and multi-polls are a marketing slam dunk.
Suppose you asked your audience of manager "What are the top 3 things that stress you out in your job?" with a multi-poll (including a lead generation form) at the end of your "Anxiety: how to beat this #1 career burnout risk".
As soon as each user clicks their top choices, your marketing funnel (powered by Riddle's quiz maker) will start working. You could set it up to tag every manager who clicked "Too many distractions" as one of their choices as a 'good prospect'.
Next, your CRM email tool (like Mailchimp or Salesforce) swings into play here - sending out a email drip campaign of personalized messages focused about assisting time-scarce executives.
The happy bonus? This cycle of poll, lead form, and follow ups - come about from simply asking your audience their opinion with a multi-poll.
Ask the question, collect the answers - and you're well on your way to converting another customer.
