What Is a Quiz Funnel and Why Do E-Commerce Businesses Need One?

Good user experience (UX) is critical for e-commerce success, from design to navigation to performance and personalization. Consumers today expect brands to anticipate their needs. But how can businesses show the right products to the right person at the right time? 


Quiz funnels gather customer information to recommend the most relevant products, providing a personalized shopping experience.


What is a quiz funnel?

A quiz funnel guides shoppers through questions to provide personalized outcomes based on their answers.


Whether the goal is to recommend products, collect leads, or segment audiences, quiz funnels are an effective and engaging way to guide consumers through the customer journey. Shoppers answer questions about preferences, needs, and challenges, then receive personalized recommendations based on responses.


Why do e-commerce businesses need a quiz funnel?

There are several benefits to using quiz funnels for online stores.


Capture valuable customer information (zero-party data)

Users share preferences, interests, and behaviors—zero-party data—to help brands understand their needs. 


This data enables e-commerce sites to show customers the most relevant products or services, gain deeper insights about them, and retarget them with future offers. 


Create engaging marketing materials

Passive, unengaging advertising is no longer effective. Brands today delight their customers with fun and interactive marketing – like quizzes which generate 52% higher engagement rates than static content, improving user experience and driving conversions. 


Instead of passively scrolling irrelevant products, customers engage directly with your brand.


Segment your audience

A quiz funnel tailors results to individual responses, offering personalized product recommendations to the customer and storing data about their preferences. Businesses can then use this to segment their audiences into specific categories. Instead of sending out blanket marketing communications, brands can reach out to specific segments with more relevant offers and recommendations.  



Increase customer satisfaction

Addressing customer pain points adds value. Quickly solving problems builds brand loyalty, bringing customers back.


Boost conversion rates

Users are more likely to convert if they are presented with personalized product recommendations. A well-designed quiz funnel guides hesitant shoppers to make a purchase by helping them find what they need.


5 examples of quiz funnels to inspire you
