Quizzes are an efficient way to collect data, understand your customers, and help them find the best product for them.In this episode, Gen Furukawa of Prehook talks about the importance of using quiz builders, the types of quizzes that work for brands, and the kinds of brands that quizzes work for. Listen and learn in this episode!KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEMerchants must build direct relationships and understand who their end customers are.The premise of a good quiz is that there has to be an exchange of value. There's no barrier to people sharing their information but they need to get substantial value back in return.Once you know what your hook is, you want to get an understanding of what data points you need to create segments or dynamic personal recommendations effectively.For clothing brands, some of the main use cases are style guides or fit guides. Make sure that the quiz lives on your site instead of going to a subdomain you don't want.Some brands use quizzes as an exit intent pop-up. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, it is effective to use quizzes on your existing email list.The benefit of a quiz is that you're able to ask more questions in an engaging way, then you can use conditional logic to dig deeper and make it more of a personalized experience.Challenges and goals are great ways to start, from there what matters most are gathering contact information and recommending a product.Recommended App:Canva https://www.canva.comDescript https://www.descript.comRecommended Podcast:Fresh Air with Terry Grosshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/fresh-air/id214089682 The All-in Podcasthttps://www.allinpodcast.co Today's Guest:Gen Furukawa is a co-founder of Prehook.

Marketers' longtime reliance on third-party consumer data is fast becoming obsolete. For example, advertising on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where targeting audiences can yield highly successful campaigns, has always been a cornerstone of the direct-to-consumer marketing strategy. However, it is more important than ever to create direct connections with consumers in light of iOS14's restrictions on third-party cookies for tracking, Chrome's deprecation of third-party cookies in browsers beginning in 2022, and the General Data Protection Regulation. That's why it's perfect timing that Gen Furukawa will be on the podcast today. He is here to share a more legitimate, effective, and cheaper alternative to better understand your customers and cater to their specific needs. Gen has been in the e-commerce space for 10+ years, with the last seven years in the e-commerce SaaS environment. Before Prehook, Gen was part of the founding team and VP of Jungle Scout, the leading software for Amazon sellers. He also hosts the e-commerce marketing podcast, Cart Overflow, where he shares what the best brand operators, agencies, and tech platforms are doing to grow their e-commerce revenue. In this episode, Gen emphasizes three quiz benefits of e-commerce quizzes: They reduce customer acquisition cost The end of third-party cookies and increase in data protection Personalization attracts customers By the end of this episode, you will learn how to leverage quizzes in your direct-to-consumer business, whether or not a quiz is suitable for your brand, and how to create one. In addition, you will gain priceless insights on how to achieve personalization at scale, why fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands use quizzes, how to promote them, and tips to increase their opt-in rate. Episode Highlights [01:45] Prehook's founder story [04:04] How to tell if your business needs a quiz [05:32] Three reasons why the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands leverage quizzes [05:40] The value of personalization [07:21] How to achieve personalization at scale [10:37] How to set up a quiz [13:07] Ways used to promote quizzes [14:33] Tips to increase the opt-in rate for quizzes [18:49] What is zero-party data? [21:55] Gen's advice for growing e-commerce businesses Quotes "I think the brands that might not benefit much from quizzes might be like a single SKU brand. So product where it's like, alright, you get one product. The decision is easy. It's more focused on can the merchant sell the product or not?" "Once you're able to understand the customer challenges and their goals, you can bridge the gap from where they currently are to where their goals are. And that's where we can fill the gap with a quiz." "Once you're layering on their needs, goals, challenges, all of a sudden, you can play to those more. And it impacts your messaging, what you're sending, when, and how." "So when people ask, like, okay, what should I consider? What should I do in building the quiz? I think the first and most important thing is to define what your goals are. Like what data points are most interesting or helpful to you to improve your segmentation and set your targeting to be more specific?" "What is the exchange of value between the merchant and the visitor? And how can you make it most compelling?" "The quiz is more like an exchange or a conversation to enhance or improve the opt-in."

In this week's show, Trevor talks to Gen Furukawa from Prehook, an application for Shopify which allows merchants to run quizzes to learn more about their customers What is a quiz A Shopify quiz (as enabled by Prehook) asks customers questions and collects data about their preferences. It helps them find the product they want by recommending a product. Examples include (considering ): Asking the age of the child to recommend toys Asking the kind of products customers are looking for After the quiz, a store can send a welcome flow personalised to the customer's profile Why use quizzes? After iOS 14 brands no longer have the channels they had to run profitable ads. In the past DTC brands could create campaigns using platforms like Facebook, learn which customer segments performed best and optimise their campaigns. CPC and acquisition costs are increasing and it is more difficult for brands to understand who their customers are and how to target them Quizzes are a mechanism to learn more about your customers and optimise your marketing efforts. Benefits include: Simplifying the buying process (and improving conversion rate) Create a personalised buying experience Accelerate list growth Capture verified zero party data (data which customers directly and willingly share with a brand) Send targeted messaging (e.g. email, SMS) based on the customer's answers How to create successful quizzes A successful quiz should offer something of value to the customer for example: Personalised shopping advice e.g. recommend a product Personalised advice e.g. recommended articles Quizzes can be used at multiple stages of the buying process for example: Top of funnel – in the top navigation e.g. shopping assistance Hook for a Landing page e.g. Drive traffic from email After a process – a post postage quiz can establish attribution Feedback on products Measuring success The success of a quiz is measured through increased revenue and list growth. Who does well with quizzes? Prehook has found that the following types of products do particularly well with quizzes: Skincare Fragrance Food and drink Apparel --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ecommerce-odyssey-podcast/message
