A quiz funnel allows you to sell your product’s benefits, not its features
One of the pillars of successful eCommerce is selling a product based on its benefits, not its features. The way your product will improve or change a customer’s life is what makes the sale, NOT it’s specs or features. That’s why a quiz funnel is one of the best marketing options. By creating a personalized quiz that directs every prospect through a series of tailored questions, you are able to determine what the prospect’s needs are. Then, you can align your product (or combination of products) to their wants and desires. It’s a creative way to provide a solution and valuable benefits to a prospect, without all the guesswork.
There are 2 main ways to use a marketing quiz funnel – here they are!
eCommerce professionals can use a quiz funnel in 2 ways. First, you could use this type of sales funnel if you have one product with many uses. The quiz funnel would allow you to present the same product to every prospect, but highlight different benefits depending on the needs of individual prospects. Secondly, you could use a quiz funnel to help prospects determine which of your many products fits their needs best.
Quiz funnels prevent overwhelming a prospect with seemingly limitless combinations of products. They simply select which quiz answers fit their situation best and are directly guided towards the best solution. Quiz funnels allow you to make an offer that’s congruent with what the prospect needs and wants, increasing your chances of making a sale. It’s essential that you start using these funnels, so don’t miss all the insights on this episode of Marketing For eCommerce.
