How to make a survey in contact. We make a vote in a group, conversation, VK wall

Polls for VK 2.0 - allow you to vote and collect opinions in a new format: adding a unique background, specifying the time of the poll, allowing you to select one or more answers. Also, it remains possible to make the survey public or anonymous.

We figure out how to create a VKontakte poll in a group or conversation, make a design - choose a background or add a picture, set up anonymity, add several answer options. We'll tell you if it's possible to make a poll in History.

How to conduct a survey in a VK group

To make a new survey, go to your page or group on behalf of which you want to create a survey. And we proceed to create a new post, where we select "Poll".

Add a colored background or image

To draw more attention in the feed to your survey, choose a bright background. As a background, you can use one of the standard colors or upload your own picture.

To upload a picture, you need to click the plus at the very end of the carousel and select an image from the community album, or upload it from your computer. You can use pictures of at least 510×200 pixels in JPG, GIF or PNG format.

Anonymous or public

Below the background settings, there are poll settings. Here you can choose whether the survey will be anonymous or public.

In an anonymous survey you will only see the result of the poll, and will not be able to see who voted for which option.

In public, on the contrary, you and other users can see who chose which option in the survey.

Multiple choice

If you enable this option, users will be able to select multiple answers as an answer. Including everything that is in the survey.

Here, you can also set a limited time for the poll, set up notifications about the progress of voting or the time it ends. You can also set up a delayed publication or embed a voting widget on your website.

How to make a poll in a conversation or chat

The algorithm of actions is exactly the same as when creating a poll on your wall. Create a conversation or go to an existing conversation.

Click on the paperclip icon next to the text entry field. Select Attach Poll.

Then create and style the survey as described above.

Is it possible to make a poll in VK history

As such, the polling function for VK Stories does not yet exist. But there are two possible alternatives:

Poll results

To see the results of a poll in VK, find a post with it and click on the poll itself. A window will open with detailed information about the survey.

At the bottom there are additional fields with which you can filter the result. For example, you can find out how many girls over 18 took part in the survey. This allows you to get rid of statistical errors in the survey and get more objective results for the desired audience. Also, the results can be filtered by country or city.

The ability to create polls is one of the many great features of the Vkontakte social network. With it, you can poll your friends or group subscribers on any topic that excites you. If you do not know how such things are done, then this article will certainly come in handy.

If you often add various entries to your wall in VK or make reposts, then I recommend reading the article, then your poll will always be located at the top of the page.

How to create a poll on the wall of your Vkontakte page

There is nothing complicated here. We need a field for creating posts on our wall. We put the mouse cursor on it and in the lower right corner click on the link “Attach”. Select "Other" from the drop down list.

We open a more complete list, from which we select the "Poll" item:

In the window that opens, enter the subject and answer options. There are no special restrictions on the number of options. If you put a bird next to the item "Anonymous voting", then the people who will take part in your survey will remain unknown.

After all the fields are filled in, click on the "Submit" button:

As a result, a poll will be created on your wall. I noticed some flaw in this case. In addition to the title of the topic, we also have the same text duplicated as a record. It doesn't look very pretty. We have the opportunity to correct such "dirty". We bring the mouse to the upper right corner and click on the "pencil", which we symbolize the "Edit" button.

Delete or change the duplicated phrase and click on the "Save" button.

How to create a poll in a VK group

On the group wall

This is done in exactly the same way as on the wall of the page. In the same way, you put the cursor on the field for adding a record and attach a survey there. It makes no sense to repeat the procedure again:

Add to group discussion

In addition to the fact that we can add polls to the group wall, Vkontakte has the ability to insert them into new discussions or into existing ones.

Inserting into a new discussion

To do this, click on the button "Add discussion"

In the window that opens in the lower right corner, click on the "Attach" button and select the "Poll" item from the drop-down menu

We have additional fields in which we can enter a topic and answer options:

Paste into an existing discussion

Click on discussion. In the "View Topic" tab in the upper right corner, click on the "Edit" button and select "Attach Poll".

Creation in the mobile application Vkontakte for Android

Click on the link "New post" on the wall:

And that's all for today. Poll your subscribers and friends.

A poll or voting in a group in contact is the easiest and most effective way to increase activity in a group. If the group is dead and you don't know where to start, start with a survey. This will help to rock the audience and prepare it for more complex activations. For example, game mechanics.

Greetings, dear visitor!

From this article you will learn not only how to conduct a survey in contact, but also:

• what are they needed for;
• how they can and should be used for the good of the cause;
• what polls are in contact;
• whether it is possible to conduct surveys from a personal page or only in a group.

Why do we need surveys in a group in contact

And as practice shows, if say, 20 people in the group like, repost and comment daily, then 50 and sometimes 100 people will vote on the same day.

Therefore, one of the reasons why polls are needed in a group in contact is to increase the degree of user involvement in our group. And this is a fat plus in the history and promotion of our group.

Vkontakte loves groups in which the audience is active and gives them even greater coverage, and this, in turn, helps to promote our group: coverage is growing, more and more people know about us, the group is growing and with it our income. Everything is simple))).

Have you noticed that VK ruthlessly cuts coverage and shows only 5% of our posts in the news and less often 10% of the group members?

So, polls will help us slightly increase our reach and once again remind ourselves of those who voted in our poll. How?

The fact is that the VK smart feed will show your posts to this person in the news for the next 30 days after voting in the poll.

It turns out that you are guaranteed to get even more coverage of your target audience. And if you conduct polls even more often, then the number of those who voted and saw your news will grow)))

You can initially create a survey that will identify your potential customers.

Maybe they silently read and left your public, and here is a poll, and they are very interested in participating and they vote and give themselves away))).

What I mean?

For example, if you create a survey like this:

If you plan to buy real estate in Kazan this year, it will be:

• 1 room
• 2 room
• 3 room

What are we doing?

In a day or more, when the poll is closed, we write in a personal message to our voters. These are our potential clients who gave themselves away))))

And about what exactly to write to them so as not to frighten away, this is a completely different story, I'm sure you will find what to write to them.

In this type of poll, the main thing is not to check the box next to "anonymous poll", otherwise you will never know who exactly voted for what and will not be able to write to them.

Well, we have closed 3 points “for what”; now we can move on to the main question of our article: “how to conduct a survey in contact”.

How to conduct a survey VKontakte

The algorithm for creating a post in the form of a survey from a personal page and in a group or public is identical.

Here I will use the words group or public, but you know that everything described here is applicable to a personal page as well.

You can conduct a survey in a contact in a group only if you are its administrator.

In the field "What's new with you" or "Add entry" we write the post itself, which will accompany the survey.

Here we can decipher the topic of our survey and why, in fact, we started it, what benefit the reader will receive (if, of course, he does). Also, we can specify the end time of the post.

The fact is that in the summer of 2018, in polls on VK, there was such an opportunity - to set a limit on the time of the post. And when this moment comes, each voter receives a notification that a poll has been completed in such and such a group and that you can see its results there and a link is given.

And this, as you understand, once again reminds our readers about us, which is only a plus for our business)))

So, we wrote the text, now we attach the survey itself.

To do this, click the "More" button and a list of new options for working with the post opens up before us, naturally we select "Poll".

In the window that opens, everything is very clear. In the "Poll subject" field, write our question to which we want to get an answer.

For example: If you are going to go on vacation to Turkey this year, what city will it be? And below in the presented fields we list the answer options:

• Alanya,
• Antalya,
• Kemer,
• Istanbul,
• other city
• I'm not going to Turkey at all.

Next, we can choose the background of our survey from those offered, choose the one that suits us best according to our corporate color, or choose a picture without a background with a cross, when clicked, we will be transferred to select any picture from the files in our computer.

After we have decided on the color, we must decide whether our vote will be anonymous or not.

Sometimes it is really more beneficial to make an anonymous vote if its goal is the largest possible number of people participating in the vote and it does not matter who these people are.

And if we started a survey to identify hidden potential customers, as I wrote about this in the previous subsection of the article, then we don’t tick this box.

You can check the box next to "Multiple choice" - this is also an innovation in 2018, as well as the background and the restriction on the duration of the survey. Previously, a person could only vote for one option, but now, if you check the box, our readers will be able to select multiple answers.

And finally, if we check the box next to "Limited voting time", a window will open in which we can set this very time. And when this moment comes, everyone who voted will receive a notification that voting in such and such a group is over and that you can see its results at such and such a link.

That's all, click "Send", or put on "Delayed posting".

How to do it?

Everything is simple. Again, press the button at the bottom of the "More" post, select "Timer" and set the day and hour when we want the post to be published. And of course, the voting time limit should be at least a day or several hours later than the time of delayed posting.

Well, now, you know how to conduct a survey in a contact in a group, and finally I want to tell you what polls are in contact.

What surveys are in contact

Polls can be:

• open
• Anonymous T

Technically, they differ only in whether or not there is a tick next to the word "Anonymous poll". If the poll is open, then the voting results are not only numbers, but also those who voted for what, any visitor can see.

If the poll is anonymous, then only numbers will be visible to everyone - how many people voted for what in numerical and percentage terms.

The survey can be:

• Alternative
• General
• Open

In an alternative survey, we are interested, for example, which picture or version of our product you like more: this one or this one.

A general question is one that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". For example, do you like this city or hotel or dress, etc.?

An open survey has many response options to choose from. For example, what types of products would you like to see in our group more often: dresses, jewelry, clothes for children, household goods, etc.?

Taken as a whole, there is nothing difficult in creating a survey in a group in VKontakte.

The technology does not change in any way, depending on whether you want to create a survey in your group or in someone else's. There is only one point, if you want to create a poll in a group in which you are not an administrator, and the option to create new topics for discussion is disabled in the group, then you will not be able to create a poll.

If you yourself created a new group, then you need to first set up the ”Discussion” option. To do this, you need to go to the page of the group that you created and find the link "Group Management", which is located on the right. On the page that opens, find the "Information" tab, there you need to click on the link that is opposite the word "Discussions", then you need to select the mode for adding new topics - "limited" or "open".

Adding new topics is disabled by default. You will have the opportunity to open access to adding new topics to any member of the group or to all members, but you can also restrict access by allowing only group leaders to add topics.

After saving the change, you can return to the main page of the community. There you will see the "Discussions" section, and a little to the right you will find the "New Topic" link. You need to click on it and proceed to the process of creating a new topic. It is necessary to come up with a multiple description and title of what is offered to visitors for discussion.

By the way, if you have problems on the browser side, or maybe even in hardware, then you won’t figure it out on your own, you need to contact the company for computer help. For example, if your VKontakte account was hacked, then by contacting computer help you will receive your computer without viruses and with a complete diagnosis of problems. Also, this includes repair and maintenance of a personal computer.

You will be automatically redirected to the theme view page after you click the "Create Theme" button. Other visitors to this page will only be able to leave comments, while the author of the topic will have access to edit the created topic. You need to click the "Edit" button, and select the "Attach survey" option there. Then you need to write the text of the question, as well as the answer options. By default, only two options are set, but if you need more, you can use the "Add option" button. Now, you need to check everything that is written and click on the “Create Poll” button. You are again taken to the topic view page, but now there is a form and options for answering the survey.

If necessary, you can pin the topic of the discussion, then it will be above all other topics, regardless of how long ago the last comment appeared.

If you want to delete a poll or close a thread, you must use the Edit option to do so.
