Quizzes aren’t just for fun or wasting time online—they’re powerful tools for entrepreneurs and small business owners to connect with their audience, build an email list, and even drive sales. If you’ve been wondering how to use quizzes in your business, this post will break it all down for you.

We’ll dive into how quizzes can help, what types you can create, and how platforms like Interact can make the whole process a breeze.

Why Use Quizzes in Your Business?

If you’re not already using quizzes, BB, you’re missing out. Here’s why they’re a game-changer for small businesses:

  1. Builds Engagement: Quizzes are interactive and fun, which means your audience is more likely to engage with them. It’s a great way to keep people on your website longer or boost time spent on your social media pages.
  2. Generates Leads: By offering quiz results in exchange for email addresses, you can grow your email list effortlessly. People are more likely to share their contact info when they’re excited to see their results.
  3. Provides Valuable Insights: Quizzes can help you understand your audience better. By analyzing their responses, you’ll uncover insights into their preferences, pain points, and interests.
  4. Drives Sales: When done right, a quiz can guide customers toward products or services that align with their needs, increasing conversion rates.

Types of Quizzes You Can Create

There’s a quiz for every business niche, honey! Here are some ideas to inspire you:

  1. Product Recommendation Quiz: Help your audience figure out which of your products suits them best. For example, if you sell skincare, your quiz might ask about their skin type and recommend products accordingly.
  2. Personality Quiz: Everyone loves learning more about themselves! Use a personality quiz to connect your audience’s traits with your offerings. (Check out my quiz here to see an example in action!)
  3. Knowledge Test: Test your audience’s expertise in your industry. For instance, if you’re a wedding photographer, you could create a quiz like “How Well Do You Know Wedding Traditions?”
  4. Assessment Quiz: These quizzes help your audience identify where they stand in a particular area and offer tailored solutions. For example, a marketing coach might create a quiz to assess “How Strong Is Your Current Marketing Strategy?”

How to Use Interact to Create a Quiz

Creating a quiz might sound complicated, but platforms like Interact make it easy-peasy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Choose Your Goal: Decide what you want to achieve with your quiz. Are you building your email list, driving sales, or educating your audience?
  2. Pick a Template: Interact offers tons of templates, so you don’t have to start from scratch. Whether it’s a personality quiz or a product recommendation quiz, there’s something for everyone.
  3. Customize Your Questions and Results: Tailor the quiz to your business and audience. Make the questions engaging and fun, and ensure the results tie back to your offerings.
  4. Promote Your Quiz: Share your quiz on your website, social media, and email newsletters. The more people who see it, the more leads you’ll generate.

How Quizzes Can Help You Sell

The magic of quizzes is in their ability to warm up leads. Once someone takes your quiz and provides their email address, you can follow up with targeted email sequences based on their results. For example, if your quiz recommends a specific product or service, you can send personalized content that helps nudge them toward a purchase.

Quizzes also position you as an expert in your niche, making it easier to build trust and authority. When your audience feels like you “get” them, they’re more likely to buy from you.
