Online quizzes and assessments are effective lead generation tools for ecommerce brands to engage prospects and collect contact information.
Assessments that provide personalized recommendations or analysis specific to the customer's needs make for compelling lead magnet offers.
For example, a makeup brand could offer a "Find Your Perfect Foundation Shade" quiz. Customers answer questions about their skin type, complexion, undertones and product preferences.
At the end, they receive custom foundation matching results, along with special discounts or free product samples.
An outdoor retailer could provide a "What Type of Camper Are You?" assessment.
The interactive quiz assesses camping style, mood, amenities wanted and so on. Results help guide customers to recommended products and tailored offers.
How Assessments Help Both - Brands & Consumers
For consumers, assessments promise an exciting element of discovery about themselves while also building trust in the brand's expertise.
For DTC companies, lead magnet assessments enable highly-targeted marketing and sales based on each customer's stated needs and interests.
The key is ensuring assessments are quick and frictionless to complete.
Shorter formats perform best, taking no more than 5 minutes.
And minimizing the questions to only the most essential data points increases completion rates.
While more challenging to create, personalized assessments help ecommerce brands engage audiences and steer them to highly relevant products.
The customer insights gained are invaluable for segmentation and nurturing leads.
Assessments turn the process of gathering customer information into an enjoyable experience.
