About PollQR

PollQR is the next-gen platform transforming how businesses and presenters connect with their audiences using the universal language of QR codes. It's not just a QR generator; it's a dynamic engagement engine built for two powerful, distinct missions. For business owners, it's a continuous feedback loop and reputation booster. Create permanent, scannable QR code surveys placed on receipts, tables, or storefronts to capture real-time customer sentiment, gather leads, and strategically drive more 5-star reviews with best-practice Net Promoter Score (NPS) tools. For presenters, trainers, and educators, it's the death of the boring "show of hands." PollQR enables immersive, live polling that turns passive audiences into active participants with real-time word clouds, rankings, and Q&A—all accessible via a simple scan, no app download required. The game-changer across both use cases is its integrated AI analytics, which instantly deciphers sentiment, spots trends, and delivers actionable insights from raw feedback. In an era demanding seamless, instant interaction, PollQR bridges the physical and digital to deliver meaningful, data-driven engagement.

Features of PollQR

AI-Powered Sentiment & Theme Analysis

Go beyond simple data collection with PollQR's cutting-edge AI analytics engine. It automatically scans all incoming survey responses and comments, performing deep sentiment analysis to instantly gauge customer emotions—positive, negative, or neutral. The system identifies and surfaces key recurring themes and keywords, allowing you to see exactly what customers love and what needs urgent improvement. Click on any major theme to instantly view all related feedback, transforming unstructured comments into clear, actionable business intelligence.

Dynamic QR Code Generation for Multiple Formats

PollQR provides a versatile QR code generator tailored for specific engagement goals. Create static, long-lived QR codes for permanent customer feedback stations, or generate unique, time-sensitive codes for individual live poll sessions. The platform supports a wide range of poll and survey formats, including star ratings, multiple choice, word clouds, ranking questions, and email collection forms, ensuring you have the perfect tool for every interaction scenario.

Real-Time Live Polling & Visualization Dashboard

Engage live audiences with instant, interactive polls. As participants scan and vote, results populate in real-time on a presenter dashboard. You control the reveal, building anticipation before displaying stunning visualizations like animated pie charts, bar graphs, or live-updating word clouds. This feature turns presentations, lectures, and conferences into two-way conversations, making content more memorable and providing immediate audience insights.

Centralized Data Hub with Smart Notifications

All your engagement data flows into a secure, organized PollQR database. Set up instant email notifications to alert you the moment a new survey response or lead comes in, enabling prompt customer service follow-ups. For deeper analysis, easily export all collected data—from votes to open-ended comments—into a .CSV file for further processing in spreadsheets or BI tools, giving you complete ownership and control over your audience insights.

Use Cases of PollQR

Boosting Online Reputation for Retail & Hospitality

Restaurants, cafes, and retail stores can place PollQR codes on receipts, table tents, or near the checkout. The system captures immediate post-visit feedback, identifies delighted customers through positive sentiment, and can automatically nudge them to leave a 5-star review on Google or Yelp. Simultaneously, it flags critical issues in real-time, allowing managers to address complaints before they escalate online, directly impacting reputation management and customer retention.

Interactive Corporate Training & All-Hands Meetings

Corporate trainers and internal communicators use PollQR to break the monotony of lengthy sessions. Launch quick knowledge-check quizzes, gather anonymous feedback on new policies, or use word clouds to brainstorm ideas during workshops. This real-time interaction increases engagement, confirms understanding, and provides leaders with unfiltered sentiment from their teams, making meetings more productive and democratic.

Academic Engagement & Classroom Feedback

Educators and professors leverage PollQR to make lectures interactive. Pose quick poll questions to check comprehension, host live Q&A sessions where students can upvote peer questions, or conduct anonymous mid-lecture feedback checks. This approach increases student participation, provides immediate insight into learning gaps, and creates a more inclusive classroom environment where every student has a voice.

Lead Generation at Events & Trade Shows

Exhibitors and event marketers use PollQR to efficiently capture high-quality leads. Instead of manual business card collection, create a QR code for a quick survey or a "enter to win a prize" form. This not only gathers contact information but also qualifies leads by asking about their interests or challenges. The integrated database and notification system ensure timely follow-up, maximizing ROI from event participation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my audience members need to download an app to participate?

Absolutely not. This is a core advantage of PollQR. Participants only need a smartphone with a standard camera app (or any QR code scanner) to scan the code. This instantly opens a mobile-optimized web page where they can vote or submit feedback. The zero-barrier-to-entry approach ensures maximum participation rates in both live and survey settings.

How does the AI sentiment analysis work?

PollQR's AI uses natural language processing (NLP) models to analyze the text within open-ended survey responses. It evaluates the language, context, and phrasing to assign an overall sentiment score (positive, negative, neutral) to each comment. It then clusters similar feedback to identify common themes and keywords, presenting you with a digestible dashboard of insights rather than requiring you to manually read through hundreds of comments.

Can I customize the look of my surveys and polls?

Yes, PollQR offers customization options to align with your branding. You can typically adjust colors and add logos to your survey and poll interfaces, ensuring a professional and cohesive experience for your customers or audience. This helps reinforce brand identity even during brief feedback interactions.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Your data belongs to you. PollQR allows you to export all your collected response data into standard .CSV files. It is a best practice to download your data archive before canceling a subscription. This ensures you retain all historical customer insights and feedback for your records and future analysis.
