How to use a Product Recommendation Quiz to Boost Sales in your eCommerce

21-10-2020

Let’s be honest: driving traffic to your website has become extremely expensive. Cost per acquisition is higher than ever across digital channels and ROI on marketing spend makes it difficult to justify why you’re still pouring money into paid ads.

As the owner or marketing manager of an eCommerce, this problem will be familiar to you. You’ve invested a great amount of time and money in driving traffic to your website. You’ve got a considerable following in Social Media, you’ve done content marketing, narrowed your Facebook Ads to target the ideal buyer persona but still, you stare at your analytics dashboard and wonder why less than 2% of your visitors end up buying.

However, there are brands which have cracked the code to eCommerce conversions and sales. Their secret: a Product Recommendation Quiz and an eCommerce Sales Funnel on their store.

Your online store is missing one thing: YOU.

Think about the last time you went shopping… how does your typical shopping experience go when you enter a store?

The typical interaction between a customer and a salesperson (aka: yourself) would go like this:

The salesperson would ask the customer specific questions about his or her needs. Then she would listen carefully to her responses.
The salesperson would give personalized feedback and insights to the customer,
The salesperson would then proceed to recommend the best products for the customer.

Shopping is VERY personal. Every customer is unique and being engaged by a salesperson is key to a successful shopping experience. After all, the salesperson is offering a free consultation: your customer is not an expert and doesn’t know which products work best for his or her needs.

So why do we assume our customers know EXACTLY what they need when they’re looking for products on your website? After all, online shoppers need guidance about finding what they need, just like in real shops.
