First Date Tonight! What Shall I Wear??!?

We have all been there! The first date with someone you really like! The roller coaster of emotions: excitement, anxiety, butterflies and then the preparation: gym, beauty and always the most difficult one..what to wear to make the appropriate impressions? How many times have your friends not been available for advice??

Recently, a Toluna member posted a poll on Toluna asking over 500,000 UK members for their help on deciding what to wear on their first date! The response rate was phenomenal and consequently the member was aided on how to dress for the first date! This concept is called social voting and is becoming more and more popular with internet users, asking others through social networks their help/advice on their social lives. It is particularly popular on Toluna.

As a result of this innovative and successful concept we have created a range of social voting banners to promote Toluna and entice internet users to become Toluna members. Check out an example of this new advertising format below:

Many of our affiliates are already using this advertising format to promote our recruitment campaigns and the CTR is brilliant with an equally good conversion rate.

To access this new advertising format, simply log into your access panel or become a Toluna Affiliate Today and increase your online earning potential.
