We used Digital Joy Engage to poll the audience of our small business pitch competition, InnoVentures, to vote on which entrepreneurs’ business pitch was strongest. The entrepreneur that received the most votes won our “Fan-Favorite Award.” Attendees answered the poll via text or online, allowing us to engage both virtual and in-person audiences at our event. While our panel of judges selects the winner of the competition, this voting element makes our event more fun, giving each audience member a “seat” at the judges’ table. Digital Joy Engage was very easy to use and customize. We love using this tool each year!

We used Digital Joy Engage to have spectators vote on their favorite fireworks show at the Lone Star Fireworks Festival. We used the QR code and text capability to poll our spectators and it couldn’t have been easier. The set up was simple and straightforward and the platform was very user friendly. This service added an extra flair to our event!

I worked with Digital Joy to create a live poll for our 22nd annual Chili Cook off to support our elementary school arts programs! It was such a pleasure to work with the Digital Joy staff – they listened to my needs, helped me create a custom poll for the event, and were there every step of the way to answer questions and make updates! When the poll closed, they promptly sent me the poll results so we could announce the winners within minutes! Attendees loved that they were able to easily and quickly vote with a QR code. The entire process was seamless thanks to the folks at Digital Joy!

We made decision on an innovative new approach to daily newscasts – utilize Digital Joy live opinion polling on air and sell sponsorships of the polls. Every time we ask a question, we get no less than 1000 respondents, which is larger than the pool of other polling done in the market. Advertisers love it because they know there are 50,000 people watching and seeing their logo and then then the 1000+ respondents per day who follow it to their social media or desktop when they answer the question. It has been sold since day one. The way we position it is the strongest real estate they can get. In 2022 people are faster to react and engage… responses are only increasing. Other traditional census polling in the area don’t get the interaction we get in one of our newscasts.

Digital Joy has been an invaluable partner in our annual Swim with the Sharks Pitch Competition. Since 2013, we've awarded over $126,000 in cash prizes and provided additional support to even more entrepreneurs — 82% of whom are women and/or minority-owned businesses. Over the past four years alone, we’ve trained over 300 founders in how to pitch effectively. When the pandemic required us to go virtual, we introduced a $1,000 People’s Choice Award to keep the audience engaged. To date, attendees have cast 11,332 votes, giving local startups real visibility and community support — and Digital Joy made that possible. We don’t charge for this event, so Digital Joy’s accessible pricing has allowed us to continue offering this platform. I’m deeply grateful for their support.

Digital Joy Engage is not just for fun and games. It has helped us facilitate our AGM elections and votes for our in-person and online audience. Customer support is friendly and responsive. The Digital Joy development team expertly incorporates user feedback into additional functionality while continuing to make their products more intuitive. Any organization in the not-for-profit sector will benefit from these tools.

Digital Joy Engage was flexible and easy to work with as they implemented a new way for our audience to participate in voting for our biggest film festival of the year. They went out of their way to ensure that our needs were met and were able to customize their services to best suit us. They were excellent at communicating throughout the whole process and the festival — they were responsive to any changes that had to be made, kept us up to date on results as they came in, and gave wonderful advice on how to market and promote the voting even more. Considering this was our first year getting the audience to participate through a live vote, and especially with our older crowd, we would say it was a great success. We look forward to working with Digital Joy again for our next festival in the spring!

Fine Line Productions has been working with Digital Joy for years on our live television broadcasts to execute our People’s Choice Vote. The process calculates thousands of votes in real time from our viewing audience around the world, sometimes in just a few minutes. Digital Joy’s team is consistently quick to answer questions and concerns, improving our process each year and even producing reports that help us better engage with our viewers.

We have been working with the Digital Joy team since 2021, and they are a great company to work with! Their team is professional, organized, and knowledgeable. They are extremely responsive no matter the time of day. We host multiple virtual events each year and couldn’t have done it without their expertise. I highly recommend Digital Joy for all your website and production needs!
