Reposting a survey on Polco is a powerful way to gather data at multiple levels—both local and aggregate—by sharing the same survey across participating organizations. This feature helps communities and organizations access broader insights by collecting responses from various groups while maintaining localized data.
With reposting, only the parent organization sees the aggregate data, while each participating organization can view its own survey results.
Use a Polco Library Survey or Create Your Own: If you’re creating a new survey, ensure you use general language like "your city government" or "your organization," as repostable surveys cannot be edited.
Add Your Survey to the Polco Library: If you create a survey, notify Polco so it can be added to the Library, making it accessible to participating organizations.
Guide Participating Organizations: Once organizations have set up their Polco profiles, they can find the survey by searching keywords or using a short URL. Provide them with clear instructions.
Boost Outreach: Share outreach suggestions with participating organizations. Encourage sharing the survey through multiple channels—social media, websites, emails, newsletters, and partnerships like school districts or community groups. Best practices include promoting the survey URL multiple times.
As results come in, both local and aggregate data are available in real-time. Monitor participation to ensure broad representation and adjust your outreach efforts as needed. Reposting surveys on Polco helps you gather valuable insights from different levels, making data collection more impactful and comprehensive.
