How to use the Instagram poll feature in stories to increase your engagement.
Last year, Instagram added a polling feature to stories and, as I sat there trying to figure out how to use Instagram polls for my business, it dawned on me. Not only can I use Instagram polls to find out what most of my followers want to see or what content they liked best, I could use it during "holidays" to increase viewership to my blog or a monthly promotion.
To put this thought to the test, I did a few polls asking simple questions to see if people would respond. To my surprise, the interactions happened much quicker than I actual thought they would and resulted in more comments than "likes!"
So today, I'm testing the Instagram polling feature again but geared towards "Halloween." And, if things go according to plan, the white paper will truly be an addendum to this post!
