Shared by Success • July 30, 2024

We’re always looking for ways to improve your experience with PickFu. Here are the latest platform updates and improvements from the past month!

🌏 Now live: target audiences around the world with multi-question surveys

Earlier this year, we launched the new Survey Builder, which lets you ask the same audience up to eight questions at a time.

We’re excited to share that when building your multi-question surveys, you can now target audiences across all of our global panels, not only the U.S.!

As a reminder, here are the countries you can currently target:

🇺🇸 United States

🇨🇦 Canada

🇲🇽 Mexico

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

🇩🇪 Germany

🇪🇸 Spain

🇦🇺 Australia

🇯🇵 Japan

Surveying audiences in different countries is a great way to validate your products, branding, messaging, and more with different markets (and make sure you’re hitting the mark with each country’s unique preferences).

Have a different country in mind you’d like to target? Reach out to let us know!

📊 Better data analysis with improved CSV export

Now you can analyze your results faster, easier, and more thoroughly with our improved CSV export. This will especially be helpful for parsing through multi-question survey data.

Here are the key updates you’ll find:

  • Responses are separated by question
  • The order of fields across poll types are standardized
  • The export now includes votes and ratings
  • The export now includes the full details of each question

To try it, go to your poll or survey results page, click the “download” icon near the top right corner, then click “CSV” to start the download.

📣 More survey updates

Have you tried our Survey Builder yet? We’ve been busy adding a bunch of new features, including:

  • Improved automated quality check for panelist responses, to ensure you always get high-quality insights
  • Added auto-translation features for targeting audiences in different countries (your questions will be translated into respondents’ native language, and their answers will then be translated back into your language when you view the results)
  • Generating AI reports and summaries faster and more consistently to help you analyze survey data quickly

🧱 New pre-built poll templates

We’ve added two new poll templates for common use cases, so you can launch polls and get insights even faster.

📢 Ad message resonance test: understand whether your ad is conveying the right message to your target audience.

🛒 Product page comparison: compare two different product listing URLs to discover which one your audience is more likely to buy.

Is there a different poll template you’d like to see? Reach out to our team to let us know!

⚡ Speed enhancements

We’ve made several back-end improvements to increase the speed of panel responses, the Poll Builder, and the PickFu platform in general.

🇯🇵 Translation for Japanese audience

We’ve added auto-translation support for our Japanese audience panel to bring those features in-line with our other international panels.

⚙️ New Settings dropdown

Your account settings have been moved to a gear icon on the right of the nav bar, consolidating multiple common actions in a more accessible place (including logging out, changing your account language, inviting your team, and accessing the full settings page).

What’s new in PickFu: May 2024

Shared by Success • May 31, 2024

We’re always obsessively trying to improve our customers’ experience as they use PickFu. Here are the latest platform updates and improvements from the past month.

Updates to help you build better polls

Even more audience targeting traits to choose from

We’ve added several new targeting traits to help you reach your ideal customer: midcore mobile gamer, console gamer, traditional TV subscription, investment frequency, interest in art.

Better experience and expanded support for auto-translation

When you’re writing a question in the poll builder, you’ll get a reminder that you can write it in your native language, no matter which country you’re targeting.

More recommendations for audience targeting best practices

The more targeting traits you add, the longer it will take to get results. We added a message in the poll builder to warn you when you might be making your audience too narrow for fast results.

Updates to help you analyze results

Improvements to respondent answer quality

We added additional verification and quality steps to make sure you get the best answers from each respondent on every poll or survey.

Upgraded our state-of-the-art AI engine

We improved the engine behind the AI Highlights features on your poll results page. Analyze your results quickly with higher-quality, more consistent AI Summary and Sentiment reports and get better “next steps” recommendations from the AI Labs chat feature.

Removed the notes tab on the poll results page

We removed the “notes” feature and tab on the poll results page due to low use and to focus on providing a better results analysis experience for our customers.

Platform design & UX improvements

Recommended traits are now easier to see

The full list of audience targeting traits in the poll builder is now collapsed by default, helping you focus on the recommended traits. The full list is just a click away, and you can also use the search box to find the traits you’re looking for.

Country selection is easier to read

The list of countries you can target is now alphabetized (except for the U.S., which will remain first). Have a request for a country to add? Let us know!

Survey questions are now easier to read and edit while you’re writing

The text box for surveys now includes multiple lines, so you don’t have to scroll horizontally to view your full question.

We’ve launched our Poll Builder in Chinese — another big step in localizing PickFu for our Chinese-language users.

What's new: Poll question translation and bookmarking polls for later

Success avatar
Shared by Success • March 06, 2023

Our international audience panels give you access to the opinions of millions of consumers in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and Germany.

But you don’t need to speak their language to connect with them.

Whatever your native language, you can now use it when writing your poll question in the Poll Builder. We’ll translate your question into the language of your target audience.

For example, if you ask your poll question in Spanish and you target a German-speaking audience, we’ll automatically translate your question into German.

You save time and can rest assured nothing gets lost in translation between your poll and your respondents.

Bookmark polls for later

You can get a lot of ideas for how and what to test using PickFu by looking at polls other people have run.

And you should definitely keep track of any interesting polls you come across.

But rather than keeping a long list of bookmarked polls on your browser, use our new Bookmarking feature.

When you’re logged in and viewing a poll that you want to keep for reference, just click the Save button at the top of the page.

You’ll find all of your saved polls in the Resources section of your dashboard for easy reference:

When you’re ready to run one of your saved polls, you can do so in one click.

Be sure to check our webinar schedule and register for walk-throughs of what’s new at PickFu.

Success avatar
Shared by Success • February 28, 2023

Our international audience panels are now in public beta!

Choose the target audience for your poll from four international panels: Australia, Canada, Germany, and the U.K.

Together with our U.S.-based respondent panel, this opens you up to insights from more than 15 million consumers worldwide. All it takes is one extra click in the new Poll Builder.

You’ll see the option to choose your respondent country in the Audience section of the Poll Builder.

As with our U.S.-based panel, you can target a more specific audience using the available targeting traits:

You’ll get your poll results in English, but you can toggle to view them in Chinese and now German. As always, we run all responses through several layers of verification.

Our users span the globe. It’s our goal to ensure that our platform’s research capabilities do too.

As we continue to expand our audience panels, send us your feedback on what’s working and what you’d like to see.

Stop a poll if you need to

Success avatar
Shared by Success • February 28, 2023

Mistakes happen. If you need to stop a poll before all your results are in, now you can.

To stop a poll, click Stop poll on the upper right of your poll results page:

Once you confirm your request on the next screen, your poll immediately stops and we credit your PickFu account for the balance of the missing respondents. You’ll get an email with the details.

PickFu credit never expires, so use it whenever you’re ready to run another poll.

You'll still have access to your stopped poll, which you can easily duplicate with one click, edit, and run again.
