Benefits of Embedding a Poll in Email
1. Increases Engagement
Polls add value to the users. In return for sharing their preferences and opinions, they receive personalized results. This encourages users to engage with your content and even share it with their friends and acquaintances. Hence, when you embed poll in email, it helps boost the overall engagement level and conversions for your website.
2. Boosts Lead Generation
Embedding a poll to your email can turn it into a lead generation machine. When a user answers a poll, they are eager to know the results. Lead generation forms can be placed just before results so that you can collect your users’ contact information. You can then use this data for running retargeting campaigns and boosting your marketing efforts.
3. Decreases Bounce Rate
Embedding a poll in your email and showing targeted content to your users helps in decreasing the bounce rate. A low bounce rate means that the page effectively causes visitors to view more pages and continue deeper into the websites and emails. The email bounce rate affects the overall delivery of all your emails. The average email bounce rate falls somewhere between 2-5% depending on the industry you’re in.
