Case Study: Downtown Boulder gains resident insights on reopening with Polco

Downtown Boulder gathers 1,100 resident responses in 10 days with Polco

Downtown Boulder Partnership, a nonprofit focused on the vitality of downtown Boulder, needed to understand resident sentiment to guide local businesses reopening after COVID-19 shutdowns. They turned to Polco to deploy a survey that would gauge the community's comfort levels and expectations for a safe reopening.

Polco provided its Resident Readiness Survey platform free of charge, enabling the partnership to launch a customized poll within 12 hours. The solution gathered over 1,100 responses in just 10 days, providing vital data showing that a majority of residents were uncomfortable with in-store shopping and indoor dining but highly valued safety measures. Polco's service gave business owners and city officials immediate, actionable insights to guide their operational and marketing plans for economic recovery.
