Could A Facebook Quiz Boost Your Sales?
We’ve all taken a minute to see what cartoon character we could be or what we might have done in our past lives, but did you know a Facebook quiz can boost your conversion rates too?
It isn’t always easy to come up with new content for your ecommerce site. Once you cover the basic how-to’s and the current events of your company, the creative content well tends to run dry. Have you ever considered adding a quiz to boost social media traction?
A quiz? Really?
Facebook quizzes are a quick and easy way to boost click through rates, conversions and sales. Imagining how a quiz to find your soulmate can translate directly into sales might seem baffling, so let’s explain:
Pushing your products via social media all the time can be disengaging, but a quiz can allow your readers to explore your inventory without realizing they are being sold to. For example, if you run a bookstore then a quiz on literature genres can help get customers excited about reading. Alternatively, if you offer online marketing services then a quiz about which audience demographic could be a missed opportunity is very helpful.
Why a quiz?
It’s hard for small businesses to stand out on the internet. Quizzes offer interesting and engaging content that is easily shareable across social media platforms. Direct ads are receiving less and less interaction, so it’s time for marketers to get creative if they want their product in sight of customers. Quizzes can offer a direct line to consumers through interactive content without feeling too salesy.
Content company Buzzsumo state in this helpful video that 82% of people who see a quiz in their newsfeed will give it a shot. Yes, 82%! It is instinctual for individuals to want to learn more about themselves and quizzes seem to hold the key.
