Engage your visitors by adding a polling feature to your ecommerce site. Promoting interactivity among your guests is a simple technique for garnering repeat visits and can accomplish multiple functions, such as:
- Gives your customers what they want by instituting an opportunity for them to determine changes in site design and function.
- Fast, easy and fun techniques to encourage participation among your visitors.
- Relational polling questions can give you some tremendous insight as to the demographics of your customers.
An advertising banner-supported service from Pollit.com Web Polls allows you to add remotely hosted and fully customizable polls to your web site. Creating your own poll is simple -- you pose a question with up to 25 answers for your visitors to choose from. Then HTML code is generated that can be placed into your site''s existing code or you can link to a poll display page.
Customization and personalization styles are extensive and polls can be designed to reflect your site''s characteristics. Among the different styles that can be chosen are radio buttons, vertical or horizontal menus and checkboxes. Additionally, the poll can be configured to pop up automatically when the site loads or your customers can engage it manually. Titles, colors and sizes can conform to your specifications and the results can be displayed as graphs or charts.
If you would prefer a poll without banner ads, you can opt for the Gold Web Poll. For $4 per month plus a $6 set-up fee you can host your own professional-style, banner-free poll that allows even further control and customization for advertising, graphics and design.
Both the basic service and the Gold package allow modification after deployment and prevention methods ensure that visitors only vote once for each poll. Voter comments can be invited as well.
Voting lends a voice to your visitors that might otherwise remain anonymous and the results can be excellent sources for target marketing and specified advertising. The better you know your clientele, the easier it will be to inspire loyalty from them.
