Shared by Success • March 28, 2024

Your target audience is one of the most important considerations when building a poll, which is why we've redesigned trait recommendations to be more personal and useful.

Starting today you'll begin to see your recommended traits update as you run more polls and we learn about the audiences you care about.

Goodbye static lists, hello personalization!

Introducing the Chinese Poll Builder

Success avatar
Shared by Success • May 05, 2023

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

When you sign in, click the globe button in the upper-right corner to access the Chinese Poll Builder. You can easily switch back and forth between languages as you build your poll.

As for poll responses, they’re also viewable in Chinese if your browser language is set to Chinese. Just click the translation button at the top of your poll results page.

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.

International audience panels are live

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

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.

Templates are your new time-saver

Success avatar
Shared by Success • February 10, 2023

Do you often run the same types of PickFu polls? And do you find it tedious having to create each poll from scratch?

You’re going to love Templates.

Templates let you bypass our Poll Builder and go straight to poll templates you’ve created based on the polls you run most often.

Think of them as a fast-forward button for the poll creation process. If you’re a frequent PickFu user, Templates will save you precious time.

How to create a Template

There are two ways to create a Template.

1. Start from scratch

Click Templates in your header menu:

This will prompt you to create your first template:

Click Create template, and build a poll as you normally would. Then, click Save template at the bottom of the page:

That’s it. You’ll see all of your saved Templates in your Templates menu.

2. Start with an existing poll

If you’ve built a poll that you want to save as a Template, don’t launch the poll just yet.

Scroll to the bottom of your Poll Builder page and click the three-dot menu.

Now, hit Save template to save it in your Templates menu:

What to do with your Template

You can launch polls directly from your saved Templates.

You can also edit and duplicate Templates, or share them with your team — all with one click from the three-dot menu of each Template:

We think you’ll appreciate the ready-to-run advantage that Templates give you. Send us your feedback and suggestions anytime.

Introducing 15-person polls

Success avatar
Shared by Success • February 10, 2023

You can now run micro polls of 15 respondents.

You’ve been asking for a while now about running polls of less than 50 people, so we’re thrilled to roll this out.

Polling a small audience of 15 respondents is the fastest way to get results. It gives you the flexibility to run more polls, which is useful when you’re in the development phase and need quick, directional feedback.

You’ll see your audience size options in the Poll Builder: 15, 50, 100, 200, and 500 respondents.

The new PickFu polling experience

Success avatar
Shared by Success • November 28, 2022

We're excited to announce that we’ve launched the new PickFu polling experience, consisting of two major improvements to the app:

  • PickFu Combos: a brand new way to build polls using prebuilt templates based on common use cases. Enjoy fixed pricing, prewritten questions, and a guided experience.
  • Start from scratch: the latest version of our custom poll builder, optimized for speed and ease of use.

Here's a quick video going over the changes

We've been testing both of these features in an open beta and are excited to fully launch them to everyone. This will replace our old poll builder, but don't worry, all the features you've come to love are still there and better than ever.

We're really excited to share some of the new benefits of the experience with you. Here are a few reasons we think you'll like the next experience more:

  • It's a lot faster to make a poll. The new "Start from scratch" poll builder is easier to use, better optimized, and more clearly guides you through the poll creation process. And with PickFu Combos, it's even faster. By filling out most of the form for you, we've created a flow that you can get through in less than a minute (seriously).
  • Combos are cheaper! We want to give you the very best prices we can, and Combos help us do that - an average of $30 off of the same configuration in the custom poll builder.
  • Question context. With the new "Start from scratch" poll builder, you can add an image, video, or additional written content to help our respondents answer your question better.

All existing poll builder features are supported in the new experience, so switching should be as seamless as clicking a button. Any feedback or questions can be sent to info@pickfu.com and we will be in touch.
