How Does Text Voting Work?

Text message voting involves creativity. You ask a question or set up a quiz or questionnaire for your subscribers to answer which can spark curiosity. Or, your questionnaire arouses other emotions that your subscribers want to contribute.

A simple question gets greater responses. But, if you seek more information from your subscribers we recommend offering gifts or rewards to inspire answers.
