What’s a Sponsored Poll?
Paid Polls
Does your business or organization have a burning question they need an answer to? Run it past our Best of Middletown Voters! In 2018, we had over 9,000 users process around 80,000 votes on bestofmiddletown.com. We squeeze your sponsored poll into the competition in a tactful and fair manner.
Restrictions
Paid polls can only be run one at a time. If multiple paid polls are purchased, the start and end will be spread out evenly throughout the BOM voting period, as to prevent a cluttered voting interface. Sponsored polls must be unique and cannot mirror BOM official polls. The wording and choices of the sponsored poll must be selected in a manner that collects valuable responses. There will be no conflict of interest with a sponsored poll and an official BOM poll. There is a maximum of 5 Choices for any Sponsored Poll
Data
The Middletown Young Professionals will release sponsored poll data only to the owner of the sponsored poll. All entry and user data is anonymous- no information is released that could aid in the identification of an individual user or session. Sponsored Poll data is delivered then retained for 1 calendar year. After 1 calendar year, all sponsored poll data is purged.
