 Lead Quizzes             

Users are always intrigued by online quizzes and this is the reasons everyone from Amazon to your competitor tries them as a part of the marketing campaign. With gifts and giveaways to be won your target audience won’t mind sharing their emails and other contact details. Lead quizzes can be divided into two categories –

Trivia Quiz            

Trivia quizzes or knowledge quizzes test your users’ knowledge. A question is followed by multiple answers users move to the next question after seeing if their previous answer was correct.

At the end of the quiz you can offer them a success score – Here’s are some examples with correct answers in bold –

Where is Gold Coast? 

1. a) Australia
2. b) New Zealand
3. c) South Africa
4. d) New Zealand

Which is the longest river in the world? 

1. a) Amazon
2. b) Ganga
3. c) Nile
4. d) Yangtze
   You should select questions that are easy and would engage users more. Remember you aren’t testing their knowledge in real terms just looking to increase the scope of engagement!

   Personality Quiz  

   These follow the same pattern as trivia quizzes with the major difference being that there are no wrong answers. The idea here is to segregate users based on their personality traits for targeted marketing. Since they let marketers understand the user better they are preferred over trivia quizzes.

   

   At the end of the quiz you can separate users based on the outcomes. Let’s take a look at some examples of personality quizzes

   Let us assume you are starting with three outcomes –

    

   1. a) User is looking for a premium phone
   2. b) User is looking for a mid-range phone
   3. c) User is looking for a budget phone

    

   What do you look for most in a phone?

    

   1)         Specs and features

   2)         Value for money

   3)         Usability
   
    

   Are you ‘brand-conscious’? 

   1)         Definitely

   2)         Matters sometimes

   3)         Never

   Do you mind paying the top dollar for better features? 

   1)         Never

   2)         Can Stretch my budget

   3)         My budget is fixed

   Questions such as these can easily help you segregate your audience. In the example above Users who choose ‘A’ in most cases are looking for Premium Phones with the best specs and features and you can send them marketing emails offering them the best of choice. Similar is the case with people who choose ‘B’ and ‘C’ and match the outcomes.  It is important for you to keep in mind that the outcomes need to have positive air around them and make your users feel happy.

   

   Summing up lead quizzes is a great way for you to grow your email list. If you are planning a highly targeted campaign you should opt for Personality Quizzes whereas trivia quizzes are easier to create and manage. Both these marketing strategies promise you great returns and you must explore every possibility with them.
