Keep it Concise: Telegram users are fast-paced. Questions and options should be brief and clear.
Be Specific: Vague questions lead to vague answers. "What do you want?" is less effective than "What's your biggest challenge with [specific problem]?"
Offer Clear Options: Ensure options are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive (where possible). Avoid ambiguity.
Limit Options: For best results, aim for 2-5 options. Too many can overwhelm users.
Leverage Emojis: Emojis can make options more visually appealing and easier to scan.
Compelling Introductions: Briefly explain the purpose of the poll to encourage participation.
Ask "Why" (Indirectly): While polls don't allow for open-ended text answers, the results can inform follow-up questions in the group discussion or through a bot.
Single Question Focus: Don't try to cram multiple questions into one poll.
