Creating a New Poll Story

Create poll stories to collect fan opinions and award points

Create a new poll in the admin here

Poll your members for their opinions and show them how their answer compared to everyone else's, awarding points for taking part.

Polls live under Point Earning › Polls.


Benefits

Give fans a rewarding engagement activity by awarding points to the fans who respond to poll questions.


Best Practices

  • Use polls to gain fan insight on how their gameday experience is or was

  • Ask predictive questions like what song they would like to hear next, or which player will score first during the game

  • Use questions to pull information from fans to provide data points to sponsors. You can gather sponsor data like who fans bank with — points give fans an incentive to answer, and sponsors will love the detailed information more than just a name and email address.


Creating a new poll

Go to Point Earning › Polls and click New Poll, or go straight here in the admin.

1. Under Poll question, enter your Question (up to 60 characters).

2. Enter Points for answering.

3. Fill in your Answers. You need at least two and can add up to eight, each up to 22 characters.

4. Under Details, add an optional Image to display with the poll.

5. Under Schedule, set Go live on and Expire after, or tie the poll to an event with Require attendance at an event? Both dates are pre-filled with live now and gone in seven days.

6. Under Audience & Visibility, optionally restrict who sees the poll using the allow list, the block list, or allowed membership levels. Leave them empty and every member sees it.

7. Click Create poll.

Note: There is no story type to pick. Starting from Point Earning › Polls always creates a poll.

Note: Keep your questions short. From five answers upward the poll displays as a dropdown menu for the member to select their answer, on app version 9.5.2 and newer — the form flags this as soon as you add the fifth answer.
