Encourage engagement with polls

Border Biscuits found that polls are a great way to create engagement with a wide audience. People can vote with a quick click, but polls also lead to Retweets and often result in wider discussion. A poll about a favourite type of biscuit, for example, led to a wide range of opinions and expanded conversations, which the Border Biscuits team also engaged in.
