Quizzes are becoming more and more prominent in the online world. You only have to browse BuzzFeed for a few seconds before you come across one. Usually, they’re just a bit of fun. However, you can use them to engage prospects and generate leads. To be effective quizzes should follow 4 simple rules:
- Keep them light hearted & fun – Although they do have a point, an online quiz should entertain the participants
- Keep them short – No one will sit through 30 questions to be told that they’re really not very good at something. There should be no more than 10 questions.
- Use the questions to make people think about the service/product you offer – Seeing the question subject matter will get them thinking about that area and if they can improve that aspect of the business.
- Aim to tell the participant “you’re doing okay, but you could do better” – Naturally, you can help them with this!
We have recently created 2 quizzes in which participants answer questions about how they approach lead generation and marketing before being given a category based on their answers.

Having entertained and engaged the participant, asking for them to subscribe to your newsletter so you can give them more of the same type of stuff can be a natural progression. Enjoy…
