"THIS IS A GAME CHANGER! We highlight a company and every week have investors vote on what they think of the company. This data is incredibly valuable to have. The beehiiv poll has literally become a core part of our product."
BULLETPITCH
"Polls have been a real game-changer for me. They've given me this amazing opportunity to directly ask people what they think, in a way that's super easy for them. Not only do these polls help me level up my content, but they also let me better tailor it to my audience. It's been incredibly helpful."
GROUND TRUTH
"Polls have made the newsletter way more interactive. Reading a newsletter is usually a completely static experience. It's really hard to design an interactive experience and get readers to engage with you. Embedded polls do this better than anything else we've found so far."
