Follow these steps to create a poll with multiple choices:

Step 1: Access the Poll Creation Section

1. Log in to your Tebtalks Ads Manager account.
2. From the dashboard, navigate to Create New Campaign or select an existing campaign to add a poll to.
3. In the Ad Design section, locate the option for Poll under the content types.
4. Click Create Poll to open the poll creation interface.

Step 2: Define the Poll Question

Enter Your Poll Question: Provide a clear, concise question that is easy for your audience to understand. Keep the question relevant to the campaign’s goals.

• Example: "Which of these features would you like to see next in our app?"

Set the Poll Visibility: Choose who can see the poll (e.g., all users or specific target groups). Adjust the visibility to ensure it aligns with your audience targeting.

Step 3: Add Multiple Choice Options

1. Enter Answer Choices: You can add up to 5 different answer choices for the poll.
   • Example:
     • Option 1: “Dark Mode”
     • Option 2: “Improved Notifications”
     • Option 3: “New UI Design”
     • Option 4: “Voice Command Integration”
     • Option 5: “Offline Mode”
2. Edit or Delete Choices: You can easily add more options, edit existing ones, or delete unwanted choices.

Step 4: Configure Poll Settings

1. Poll Duration: Set the start and end date for how long you want the poll to run. Ensure the poll duration fits within your campaign timeframe.
2. Allow Multiple Answers (Optional): Choose whether users can select multiple answers or just one. Enabling multiple answers increases engagement but might skew results, so choose this option wisely.
3. Poll Results Visibility: Decide whether the poll results should be visible to the audience immediately after voting or after the poll ends. This encourages transparency and adds to the engagement.
4. Response Limit (Optional): Set a maximum number of responses per user if desired, which helps avoid any potential bias from overactive users.

Step 5: Add a Call to Action (CTA)

1. CTA for Poll Engagement: Include a clear CTA to encourage users to participate in the poll. For example, “Vote Now!” or “Help Us Improve!”
2. Optional CTA for Post-Poll Action: After users submit their votes, consider adding a secondary CTA that directs them to a landing page, website, or product page related to the poll topic.

Step 6: Preview and Finalize Poll

1. Preview Your Poll: Check how the poll will appear on both mobile and desktop devices to ensure it is visually appealing and functional.
2. Adjust If Needed: Make any adjustments to the question, options, or settings before finalizing.

Step 7: Publish Your Poll

1. Once you’re satisfied with the setup, click Publish to add the poll to your campaign.
2. The poll will automatically appear on your ad or content, ready for audience participation.

3. Managing Polls During Your Campaign

Once your poll is live, it's important to monitor its performance and manage it effectively:

1. View Poll Results

• Real-Time Results: Track the responses to your poll in real time through the Ads Manager interface.
• Export Results: Export the results for further analysis or reporting by clicking on the Download button in the poll section.

2. Edit or Modify Poll Settings

• Edit Poll Question or Choices: If you need to make changes to the poll, you can edit the question or add/remove choices. However, these changes will not affect responses that have already been submitted.
• Change Poll Duration: If you want to extend or shorten the duration of the poll, you can modify the start and end times directly from the campaign dashboard.

3. Pause or End the Poll

• Pause the Poll: If needed, you can pause the poll temporarily to stop new responses from being submitted. This is helpful if you need to make changes to the poll or if you’ve reached your desired response count.
• End the Poll Early: You can choose to end the poll before the set duration by clicking on the End Poll button in the Ads Manager.

4. Analyzing Poll Data

Polls provide valuable insights into your audience’s preferences. Here’s how you can make the most of the data:

1. Analyze Audience Engagement

• Track Voting Patterns: Look at the responses to see which option is most popular and analyze any patterns. For example, you might find that a certain age group or demographic prefers a specific choice.
• Measure Interaction: Track how many people participated in the poll relative to how many people saw the ad. High participation rates indicate strong engagement with your audience.

2. Use Results for Future Campaigns

• Adjust Future Content: Use poll results to guide future product development, content creation, or advertising strategies. Polls provide direct feedback from your audience, helping you make informed decisions.
• Share Results with Your Audience: Once the poll ends, consider sharing the results with your audience. This builds transparency and can encourage future engagement in similar campaigns.

5. Best Practices for Polls

To maximize the effectiveness of your polls on Tebtalks, consider the following best practices:

1. Be Clear and Focused with Your Question

• Keep your poll question straightforward and to the point. Avoid asking multiple questions in one poll, as this can confuse your audience and reduce response rates.

2. Limit the Number of Choices

• Too many choices can overwhelm users and reduce participation. Stick to 3-5 options for optimal engagement.

3. Align Your Poll with Your Campaign Goals

• Ensure that the poll question is aligned with the objectives of your campaign. Whether it’s gathering feedback, generating excitement, or promoting a new product, your poll should complement the overall message.

4. Encourage Engagement with a CTA

• Include a CTA that motivates users to participate in the poll. A simple, action-driven prompt like “Vote Now” or “Let Us Know Your Opinion” can increase participation.

6. Troubleshooting Poll Issues

Here are some common issues and how to resolve them:

1. Poll Not Showing on Ads

• Check Ad Placement: Ensure the poll is correctly placed in the campaign and that the campaign is active.
• Browser Compatibility: Ensure your users are using a supported browser, as some older browsers may not display polls correctly.

2. Unable to Edit Poll After Launch

• Modify Poll Settings: After the poll is live, certain elements (like the question) cannot be changed, but you can modify answer choices or settings like duration.

3. Low Participation Rates

• Promote the Poll: If the poll isn’t getting enough responses, consider adding more promotion or incentives to encourage participation.
