Interactive Instagram stickers for more engagement

Interacting with your followers on Instagram can be crucial in increasing engagement and creating engagement. Polls, mood meters, and questions are great tools to receive direct feedback and actively involve your audience. This guide shows you step by step how to implement these features in your Instagram Stories.

Key Insights

• Use the survey function to ask simple yes/no questions and find out your followers' opinions.
• The mood meter allows you to get feedback on your followers' mood about specific content.
• With the question function, you can get direct feedback and suggestions from your followers.

Step-by-step Guide

Create a Poll

First, open Instagram and go to your Story. Look for the smiley face icon, which can be found in the top right corner of the Story view. There you will find numerous Stickers that you can use. Select the poll option, which is located on the third row.

Here you will see the pre-filled question "Ask me a question?" You can customize this pre-filled question and enter a question like "Do you like dogs?" Then press the checkmark to save the poll.

Now the question will appear in your Story, and your followers can simply click on "Yes" or "No." Interestingly, after the poll, you can see how many of your subscribers voted for "Yes" or "No." It's also possible to personalize the text instead of using the predefined options.

Use the Question Feature

Another interesting sticker is the Question sticker. Again, go to the smiley face icon and select the question feature. The question could be, for example, "How much money do you need monthly to live?"

Also, be sure to customize the text color and background to ensure that the sticker looks good and stands out from your profile picture. With the color palette, you can design the sticker to fit your style.

With the question feature, your followers can respond directly, and you have the opportunity to repost the answers in your Story to share them with your audience.

Insert Mood Meter

To create a mood meter, go back to the smiley face icon. Here, search for the corresponding sticker and select it. You have the option to add a question, like "How do you like my new video?".

With the mood meter, your followers can indicate how they feel: from "bad" to "very good". It's a great way to receive immediate feedback on your content and feel the pulse of your community.

Use Quiz Sticker

The Quiz sticker allows you to quiz your followers and offer multiple answer options. Select the sticker and ask the question, e.g. "How old am I?".

Add different answers so users can choose, and mark one of the answers as correct. This gives followers the opportunity to actively participate and learn more about you.

Set Countdown for Announcements

Another way to promote engagement is by using the Countdown sticker. You can create an announcement like "New video coming soon" and set a date and time for the release.

Followers can save the countdown to the next release and receive a notification when the time comes. This increases interest and excitement for the content.

Summary

By using the above-mentioned stickers - polls, questions, mood meters, and quizzes - you can interact specifically with your followers and increase their engagement. It is important to be creative and engaging so that your content stands out and actively involves the community.
