This gives your followers something to respond to with the simple interaction of a click. Keep your polls fun and easy to use! You don’t always need to make it “all about you” so give them something to enjoy. When creating a poll on Twitter, be sure to add relevant or trending hashtags. Some example polls to use are:
- Getting feedback on new features
- Push traffic to your website
- Create an invitation to a company event
- For research purposes like choosing the fans favorite product or menu item

- What services are they looking for
Memes
