“While most companies have already figured out how to get decent email open rates with witty subject lines, data shows that most email recipients who open their emails do not respond or do anything more than read their email.

“That’s why we created this simple way to embed free online polls and surveys; and when we did, we noticed a 32% uptick in response rates.
