Planning a quiz

The exact kind of quiz can differ from brand to brand, even within similar industries. These questions will help differentiate and focus your quiz's potential:

What are your current pain points to convert customers?
What is this quiz trying to solve?
What type of experience do you want to show to your customers?

Here's an example of how a routine building skincare quiz might structure its content, and which questions are linked to product recommendation:

Only 2 questions are used in the quiz's actual product logic. However, the other questions can still be used to:

Personalize quiz content (like text and images) at the end of a quiz
Segment customers based on preferences
Personalize Klaviyo or Attentive messaging based on quiz answers
