10-examples-of-ecommerce-quizzes-you’ll-want-for-your-brand

Which of the following would help you make a purchasing decision: a personalized recommendation based on the information you shared with a business or a recommendation based on guesswork? The obvious answer is the former. 

More ecommerce brands are building quizzes on their website because of the ability to collect detailed customer profile data and personalize the buyer’s journey. Online quizzes are a great way to connect with your customers and keep them engaged long-term. 

The truth is, 59% of customers say that personalization influences their shopping decision, and 91% of consumers say they are more likely to shop with brands that provide offers and recommendations that are relevant to them. An online quiz software can help your business solve the problem of offering this personalization. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at 10 ecommerce quizzes to give you inspiration on what a quiz could look like for your brand!
