Why choose a Vote/Poll operation ?

To get an interesting feedback from your followers about a specific topic: products/ packaging / favorite song, actor, player, etc.:

• You make your community react,
• You strongly engage your followers around your brand / product,
• You benefit from feedbacks directly from your current/potentiel customers.

How does it work ?

Well, it could not be simpler:

You log in your  Like a Bird Apps dashboard and click on the "Create this contest" button :

You now only have to configure your operation from the form :

• Announcement tweet with campaign description,
• Starting date and hour,
• Reminder tweets

And set the vote options up before the operation starts.

Participation rules:

• One vote per participant for the whole operation duration,
• It's up to you to decide whether you want to set the mandatory follow or not.

 

And then... let's go !

Vote for the day in week you prefer with a simply #Vote + # Your Day !

Each participant has to tweet with your account mention, the operation hashtag and their vote hashtag.

#Friday without hesitation ! #Vote @LikeaBirdOrg

Each participant receives a customizable tweet that you have defined when your set up your operation.

Vote confirmation tweet:

@LKBParticipant3 Thanks for your vote ! 🙂

Alerting tweet if the vote is wrong (misspelled for example):

@LKBParticipant1 Oops, looks like your vote is invalid...

— Like a Bird org (@LikeaBirdOrg) August 21, 2015

Each tweet is sent only once to each participant.

Cool tip from the Like a Bird Apps team: if you want to be sure to reach the maximum audience, don't hesitate to send at least two reminder tweets per day during the first and last days of the operation, and to plan at least one reminder tweet per day during the rest of the operation.

How does Like a Bird Apps help me?

First of all, Like a Bird handles the automatic answers to confirm the vote to each tweep and, of course, count each vote !

The tool will send a reply to people who vote without being follower if you enabled the mandatory follow :
