How do you collect reader feedback?

I'm looking to embed a poll in my newsletter. I started using https://sparkloop.app/reactions which lets me collect simple feedback like:

"Did you enjoy this edition? πŸ‘ Yup! πŸ‘Ž Not so much."

What other tools do you use to poll readers and/or collect regular feedback?

    I tried to be very specific, such as what content they like or dislike, which part should be removed, how long should a newsletter be etc

    I would handpick roughly 10 engaging subscribers from my list, and send them a personalized email.

    I don’t use any tools, but my newsletter is built with Substack, hence the analytics is good enough to help me identify areas to be improved.

    Hi Meeks2!

    Give a try to https //handypolls.com, we have an embedded options (for sites and newsletters) for polls.

    This is great! I have been thinking that newsletter/email response rate is generally quite low because it is not a natural channel for people to engage in a chat. Of course, there are exceptional cases.

    I don't have a tool in mind but def going to try out Sparkloop or MiniPoll. Having a quick poll/reaction on the email could make it super easy to get a bit of data back!

    I just launched https://minipoll.co which is a super simple way to create polls for newsletters as well - without needing to register for an account.

    Simply create a poll and link to it in your newsletter and share it across any other channel you want. See your results in real time!

    Would love your feedback if you decide to try it out.

        Hi! Did you ever get around to trying minipoll out? If so, I'd love any feedback you might have! :)

    What do you think of a forum for users to discuss the newsletter? That could allow more free-form feedback for you as well as a place for users to discuss your content (potentially giving you more ideas for content).
