Just a quick one. Just doing a bit of research!
I've been doing some testing on Facebook groups the past few days. Usually I'd post something to a group, press refresh and it will quickly get buried under tons of new posts. Especially for really large groups that are like 500k strong. Hey what's new?
But lately I've been experimenting with creating poll instead of standard posts. And for all intents and purposes, they get a much better response rate. They are much more engaging than regular group posts are. Polls by nature are naturally engaging.
Especially if they ask a question on something you might be interested in. This is where using power words come into play. Using the right power words for that group type. Since most of the big groups I post in are SEO / IM related, I can post a poll on something they might like to answer but also include a link to my site or something in that poll too.
For example, I've been posting polls on some of the things relevant to SEO and asking a question that has multiple answers such as
What Happens if You Build Too Many Links Too Fast?
And putting answers like
Godzilla Buys You an Ice Cream.
Aliens Came and Kidnap You.
Google Can Penalize You.
Then in that post, I'll also put something relevant to that as a problem and then provide a solution to it in the form of my website link.
That's just an example off the top of my head. And it take a little longer to create the each poll by hand. But generally I find I get a much better response rate (CTR) from it so it's well worth taking the extra time to create the poll itself.
Do you use FB group polls when doing FB group marketing and promotion?
Or do you just post regular posts. Post and go!
Cheers!

I've seen the options for polls before in groups but I usually use software to send out my posts to Facebook groups. Do you really think it would be worth my time to actually sit and do it manually and add polls?
How come there is no option to have a poll on Facebook pages? That would be something I would love to make use of, I find it strange that they offer Polls in groups but not pages? Hey Mike, I've only posted in groups to date and not tried out the polls but it certainly sounds interesting!
