How to create your own buttons in an Instagram poll

By clicking on the button, yes or no, you can place the cursor there. And replace the word yes and no with your own text. Maximum quantity, the letters are unclear, we have from 12 to 13 without spaces. But the number may vary, possibly depending on the length of the adjacent text, in the survey.

Unlike VKontakte and Facebook, you cannot add voting to an Instagram post. Instagram posts are generally very simple in form. But now you can add the survey to Instagram stories! This option appeared in October 2017 and caused a storm of joyful emotions among users.

Let's figure out how to add a poll to your story and why you should do it at all.

How to make a poll in Instagram story

If you don’t know what stories are, be sure to. There you will find detailed description this section, with an analysis of its functionality.

In order to add a poll to your stories, you need to go to the stories section (camera icon).

Then create new story, using an old photo or taking a new one. And on this story, go to the stickers section. You should see a survey sticker there.

If you don't have such a sticker, make sure you have installed latest version Instagram. If the application version is new, but there is still no sticker with the survey, try switching the camera to the front and back, and then go to the stickers section again. If polls don’t appear again, well, you’ll have to come to terms with it and continue to live somehow without polls.

When you create a survey, you can write any text for it. But the color and size of this text cannot be changed yet. If the survey text fades into the background and becomes unreadable, we have 2 options:

Use a contrasting marker to draw on the place where you want to place the survey sticker;

through normal mode adding text (Aa) add the text you need, make it colored and place it on top of the survey text.

You can also write the text of the question using Aa mode, and then add a poll sticker with only answer options.

The answer options in the survey can also be changed. Besides "yes" and "no", you can use any other words or even emojis.

You can take part in your own survey. By clicking on the answer you will see percentage participants' responses.

You can also see the survey results in the story statistics (bottom left). The number of people who voted for each answer and who chose which option will be displayed here.

You can upload a story with a survey from your computer using the deferred posting service. SMMplanner .

Why do you need voting on Instagram stories?

Polls and voting (is there a fundamental difference between these concepts?) are an excellent opportunity to find out the public’s opinion on any issue. If you run your Instagram account exclusively for yourself, you don’t want to consider yourself a blogger, you don’t sell anything, and you only have 1 person as a subscriber (and that’s your second account), then surveys are probably of no use to you. But if you are a blogger, a store, or just like to communicate online, then be sure to try Instagram voting! And here's why.

First of all, it's cool!

People love polls. It's funny. You can feel the importance of your opinion. To feel that you are counted. I’m not a psychologist, but there’s probably a scientific explanation for this, otherwise there wouldn’t be all these likes, dislikes and thumbs up and down. People love to vote and love to see the results of their vote. This probably gives a feeling of belonging to a certain group of like-minded people.

Another way to get feedback

I am often asked: “When is it better to publish posts: in the morning or in the evening?”, “Is it worth writing posts about....?”, “Will the section include....?” I'll be honest: I have no idea. The only one who knows the answers to these questions is your audience, you need to ask them. You can publish a large and detailed post asking for answers in the comments, or you can simply make a poll in stories.

In such a survey, you can ask subscribers to vote for when it is more convenient for them to read posts: in the morning or in the evening. You can ask if they will read the posts on weekends. You can offer to choose from two topics for future posts or from two titles for a section.

Of course, this survey will not be seen by 100% of your audience. And not 100% of those who saw it will vote. But you will still get some general picture. Besides, there is nothing stopping you from repeating this question again.

Opportunity to make stories more interesting

Stories are also content. And this content should also have some meaning. A rare subscriber will be interested in just photos of the sunset, without sound on the video, without a caption on the photo. Sometimes, perhaps, yes. Especially if the sunset is beautiful. But on on an ongoing basis“silent” stories will quickly get boring for everyone. And, to be honest, few of us know how to take truly beautiful photographs.

Voting allows you to turn a simple photo into interesting content. In this case, you can add absolutely any survey. You can even make a vote without any text at all, with two emojis. A little freakiness never hurt anyone.

A way to get silent people to talk

People on Instagram don’t immediately make contact, they don’t immediately start writing comments and responding to stories in direct messages. Voting in stories – easy way to get at least some reaction from the silent ones. Taking part in a survey is a very simple action, but it takes the subscriber one step closer to a full-fledged dialogue.

Opportunity to get the haters out

Wise people say: “Don’t ask a question to which you are not ready to hear the answer.” In the context of Instagram, this means that you don’t need to ask: “Do you like the way I look?”, “Do you love me?”, “How do you like my new haircut?” Someone will definitely write: “Your haircut is terrible and in general you’re not very good overall.” And it seems like you won’t be offended - I asked myself.

Who writes such honest answers?

Harmful people. They may not think so, but they respond out of spite.
Zhduny. Those who have long been waiting for the opportunity to tell you everything.
Haters. Which are ready at any time unclear situation saying not the nicest things.

In the statistics you can see who gave the “wrong” answer. And you can ban these users or hide your stories from them.

This kind of audience sifting is not fun for everyone. You can ban someone who missed an answer or voted without reading. But everyone has fun as they want.

In my opinion, it’s not worthwhile to partake in polls in stories; moderation is needed in everything. But adding voting periodically is a good idea.

How others are already using polls in stories

If you don't have any poll ideas yet, check out how other bloggers are using this feature. Below you will find some examples.

@pollyandbooks asks subscribers which style of her photos they prefer: flatley or room interior.

Beautiful stories and good mood to you!

Maintaining advertising campaigns in official Instagram advertising and split testing are a single whole in conversion analytics and budget optimization. Split tests allow you to understand which combinations of targeting with ads work, and which ones waste your investment in the red. Ads Manager and Power Editor now have their own functionality with split test statistics. Now you don’t need to worry about how to divide your audience and get reliable results.

Until recently, split testing was difficult, although it was previously possible to create the same ad groups for different audiences. However, it was not possible to prevent a situation where an ad could be shown to the same user twice. It was also difficult to know whether ads were being shown equally. The updated functionality solves these problems.

How the split testing function works on Facebook and Instagram

Everything has changed, and now the split testing algorithm divides the audience in a random order so that there are no situations where ads are shown to the same user. In this case, the audience can be divided equally or in the ratio you specify. You can test up to 3 ad groups, but in most cases advertisers limit themselves to only two.

Now the split testing function is available for campaigns whose goal is to increase conversions, installations mobile applications and lead generation.

The test is based on a variable, and within one campaign there can only be one. Currently, Facebook has only 2 variables: “Delivery Optimization” and “Audience”. In the first case, you test which optimization strategy gives best effect(for example, by conversions or by clicks). In the second case, you test which audience the ad set you created works best for.

When testing the Delivery Optimization variable, you can create variations that are based on the following settings:

optimization of ad delivery (conversions, impressions, daily reach, link clicks);
conversion window (1 or 7 days);
type of betting (manual or automatic).

Please note that there is a minimum budget for split testing. For example, if you choose uniform distribution budget between variations of the variable and the currency - rubles, then FB will require at least 16,000 rubles for the test. With a weighted budget allocation, this figure will be 80,000 rubles if you choose the “90% versus 10%” option. How more difference between these two figures, the higher the minimum split test price.

Procedure for creating a split test

First, you need to select a variable for testing (in other words, what will be the purpose of your test - comparing audiences or budget write-off methods). There are two of them for now, but we plan to add another option for experimenting with placement.

When you select Delivery Optimization, you'll be prompted to set up Ad Groups 1 and 2, but you can add a third group using the Test Another Ad Group button.

You will need to compare campaign optimization types with each other, specifying bids per click and other parameters.

Next they go standard settings Audiences: You can specify interests, demographics, create custom audiences, etc. If you already have a saved audience and want to use it, go to the “Use Saved Audience” tab:

If you select the “Audience” variable, then you need to create at least 2 saved audiences in your account and only then select them for the test. You can select up to 3 audiences.

Then you need to decide on a budget and set a testing time period. If you choose a weighted split test, the minimum possible amount for it will increase.

The next step is to create one ad that will be used for all ad groups in one split test.

What problems can be solved using split testing?

Audience test.

In the new Facebook tool, you can create up to 3 audiences, one for each ad group. The advantage is that split test audiences do not overlap with each other, which means that ad impressions to users are not duplicated. Due to such purity of coverage, the most accurate testing result is achieved. Here are some examples of how you can compare audiences:

Different Custom Audiences (Facebook Engagement vs. Website Audiences).
Various similar audiences (created based on registered users of the online store or based on a list of customers).
Different interest groups.

In fact, there are many ideas and options for audience split testing. But for this you need to understand all the possibilities and subtleties.

Delivery optimization test.

It is impossible to say in advance what will work better in each specific case - automatic bids or manual placement, whether it is worth buying advertising for impressions or for clicks, which optimization option to choose - conversions or clicks, etc. The latter often remains a mystery until a split test is carried out .

It is especially important to test optimization of clicks versus conversions, if your pixel has collected very little data on it yet. However, it's equally important to test your Daily Reach or even Impressions strategy if you plan to show your ad to a highly targeted audience.
Automatic or manual bidding? You can only understand what will work more effectively for you by conducting a test. Moreover, you can test in the manager interface which bets bring best result. It happens that when the bid is increased, the advertising budget is reduced due to increased conversions, but you will only find out if this is so by the results of your own split testing.
The next option is conversion window testing. It seems logical that you need to choose the “1 day” option for advertising in cases where potential clients after advertising, they make a purchase in 1 day, and the “7 days” option is suitable when making a decision to order a product or service requires more long term. But you can never know for sure, so test.

We have also prepared for you detailed guide about how you can save your budget on the cost of a click and impression when setting up targeted advertising:

Thus, split testing is a way to understand who your target audience is, how they are converted into clients and what strategy to choose to promote your business using official advertising on Instagram. Have you already tested the new functionality? Share your results in the comments!
