More about Poll-mate…
Smartphone users will be part of a revolution of the research industry with this week’s launch of the application PollMate. The power of public opinion is no longer the domain of the big market research companies as PollMate allows anyone with a question to target people with answers quickly and cheaply.
PollMate is a free iPhone app whereby users can answer polls and earn credit points, which can then be donated to a PollMate charity partner – RSPCA or Starlight Children’s Foundation – or used to conduct polls. The functionality is unique in using Apple push notifications to deliver polls to a pre-defined and targeted number of respondents in 30-minute batches.
Australian Julian Dunham created PollMate as a way to make research democratic and philanthropic.
“As program director of a not-for-profit leadership group, I was becoming increasingly frustrated by the time it took to get people to respond to surveys online.
“I dreamt up PollMate last Easter as a way for anyone with a question to do the type of market research normally reserved for big corporations with big budgets.
“Imagine a huge network of iPhone users answering questions quickly and easily, no matter where they are. It’s a far more democratic process, giving people a chance to voice their opinions, have fun with their phone and give back to a worthy cause.”
Pollers can target by demographics such as age, gender, and location and can pre-determine the number of responses and length of time for the poll. Results can be received potentially within hours of conducting the poll. The question/s then appears on the users’ phone as a push notification to either answer or ignore. Users can choose to receive anywhere from 1 to 20 to limitless polls in a day.
It costs one credit point to conduct a poll per question, per person at a cost of 8 per question but as little as 5 for bulk purchases. Users earn one credit point for every question answered which they can then use to run their own poll or donate to charity at a value of 1 per credit.
One of the most compelling elements of PollMate is the ability for users to donate their points to charity.
Heather Neil, CEO RSPCA Australia said, “PollMate is an exciting way for RSPCA to generate interest in our work in this increasingly tech-savvy world. We are looking forward to discovering what the opinions of people are on a range of animal welfare matters.”
“Starlight is pleased to be part of this partnership,” said Louise Baxter, CEO Starlight Children’s Foundation. “It’s a creative new way for Starlight to find out what our supporters think and also to give people the opportunity to support seriously ill children.”
A dream that anyone with a question could get answers. A dream that anyone and everyone could do the type of market research normally reserved for big corporations with big budgets.
That dream is now a reality with PollMate.
Democratic
Anyone can use PollMate to get fast and affordable results.
Affordable
PollMate costs a fraction of traditional research fees. For instance, a targeted phone poll by a market research company asking 5 questions of 1000 people can end up costing more than $50,000. PollMate users can do this for less than $500.
Simple
PollMate employs a simple to use admin interface and intuitive poll creation process so that you can easily customise your polls and completing them is even easier.
Targeted
With PollMate you can target people right from the start so that your question only gets to those you want an answer from, whether they are at home or not. For instance, you could find out what single guys in their 30s who work in a trade, earn over $50,000 and vote Greens think about your question.
Fast
No need to wait a month, a week or even a day to get results. Most polls will be completed within hours. By the time your competitors are starting to process their research results, you’ll be launching your campaign.
Philanthropic
Best of all, PollMate invests back into charities, giving every user the chance to donate towards one of our charity partners, RSPCA or Starlight Children’s Foundation
We Welcome Poll-mate!
