Online Polls and Surveys: Flexible Tools for Quick Feedback

Polco’s online polls and surveys provide rapid ways to gather resident input on various topics. They are distinct from our benchmark surveys in their flexibility and speed, designed to cover specific or immediate issues. The Engage Module offers a library of pre-made poll and survey templates, each optimized for community engagement and insight gathering.

Additionally, our AI Agent, Polly, is here to assist users with best practices. While Polly can’t directly set up polls or pull results, she is available to provide guidance on crafting questions and interpreting survey outcomes. This ensures every poll and survey is crafted to maximize relevant feedback, leading to valuable insights for decision-makers.

Content Posts: Keeping the Community Informed and Connected

Content Posts allow leaders to share detailed information and project updates with their community. Using dynamic content like text, images, videos, data visualizations, and even prioritization tools, leaders can keep their residents up-to-date and engaged with the latest developments. Community leaders can use this tool to tell a cohesive story, provide transparency, and ensure residents are informed and ready to provide feedback when it matters.

Embed it All: Reach Your Community Wherever They Are

Polco’s Engagement Tools are not limited to the platform itself; they can be embedded across websites, blogs, and social media. By embedding polls, surveys, content posts, and project updates, community leaders can extend the reach of their messages, maximizing resident participation and impact. This flexibility ensures that community insights can be gathered from wherever residents feel most comfortable, meeting them where they are online.
