• Explain what’s going on
– “Now I’m going to ask for your opinion. You’ll use your phones to respond just like on
American Idol. So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent.”
– “You’ll participate by sending a text message. If you don’t know how to do that, just ask your
kids! Or have your neighbor help you figure it out.”

• Address their concerns
– “This is a just standard rate text message, so it may be free for you, or up to twenty cents on
some carriers if you do not have a text messaging plan.”
– “The service we are using is serious about privacy. We cannot see your phone numbers,
and you’ll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. There’s only one
thing worse than email spam – and that’s text message spam because you have to pay to
receive it!”

• Use a demo or practice poll
– For example, a Free Text Poll like “Let’s Practice: Text in your first name!”

• Always test your polls in your presentation before your
event using the computer that will be projecting your
presentation, especially if that computer is not the one
you’re currently using.

1. Standard texting rates only (worst case US $0.20)

TIPS 2. We have no access to your phone number
3. Capitalization doesn’t matter, but spaces and spelling do


TIP Capitalization doesn’t matter, but spaces and spelling do
