Add an Extra Wow Factor To Your Email Newsletter Quizzes

Here are some easy-to-apply tips that will help you start publishing quizzes that amaze and convert in no time.

Set a Clear Goal

Before you start working on actual quiz questions, take a moment to clearly determine the purpose of your quiz, whether it’s engaging subscribers, generating leads, or collecting valuable insights. Just like in other email marketing options, a well-defined goal will help you measure success and optimize performance.

Focus on Your Audience

Ok, so you already have their email address, which means you probably know a thing or two about their preferences, interests, needs, and demographics. Therefore you have the means to create a tailored interactive content element that will make your quiz takers feel seen and valued. And when they do, they’ll be eager to participate and even share the experience with others.

Keep It Short

Make your quiz accessible to busy people. After all, your email subscribers may love you, but they have a life. So respect their time by keeping it short – 4-7 questions usually suffice. This way you’ll get more quiz responses and keep participants happy and engaged without overwhelming them.

Make It Visually Appealing

As a marketing email pro, you already know that great design leads to an engaged audience and pictures speak louder than words. It’s the same with quizzes, if they look great you’ll get more quiz responses. So, add captivating images, graphics, and GIFs to your quiz form to draw your online audience in and stimulate interaction.

Promote Sharing

lastly, an engaged audience is usually happy to share a fun experience with others. So encourage quiz takers to share their results and if your online quiz software allows (ours does!), consider incorporating social sharing buttons in the result cards.  In addition to broadening your reach, it can help raise brand awareness, strengthen the sense of community among your audience, and get you more user emails.
