Poll
A poll is a post that asks the audience to vote on a question with a few fixed answers.
Polls are easy to answer, so they bring engagement from people who would not write a comment. They also give you quick audience research about topics, products or preferences.
Poll in practice
Keep the question clear and the options distinct. Share the result afterwards, since that gives you a second post and shows people their vote counted.
Avoid questions with an obvious answer, and avoid options that overlap. Remember that a small poll is a hint, not research: the people who answer are your followers, and they may not represent your wider market. Use results to guide a next step, not a big decision.
