Facebook Polls

November 16, 2007

Facebook offers Sponsored Polling available through the Business section of their site. What this does is it sends a poll to a targeted audience asking them a question with the ability to list up to 5 answers for people to choose from.  You can choose your audience based on interests such as: activities, college, college major, movies, music, TV, books, location, age or gender. You can type in a keyword to get more specific as to interests or movies, etc.  Once you have your question and answer options, you select your audience, then move on to the distribution.

Facebook will send this poll in a sponsored poll box until a maximum of 100 people have responded. This process usually takes about 24 hours.

Now this is a pretty inexpensive way to get a quick response from atargeted group.  An awesome way for businesses to get a fairly quickanswer to some simple questions from their customers.

It costs .25 cents per response up to 100 and there is a $1 fee to insert the poll (haha, get yer mind outta the gutta)!
