Why You Need to Use Personality Tests

Whether you’re a marketer looking to attract a wider audience, a hiring manager seeking new ways to assess candidates, or a business owner striving to optimize operations, personality tests are a must-have for your toolkit of success.

For Marketers

In marketing, personality tests are more than just for fun – they’re powerful tools that give you a sneak peek into how your customers think and what they prefer.

Here’s how they can help supercharge your marketing strategies for better engagement and results:

  • Use the results from your personality test to tailor your brand messages and ad campaigns. This will help boost brand awareness, engagement, and conversions.
  • Make your personality test go viral by creating eye-catching content that people want to share. You can also partner up with influencers, incorporate popular social media challenges, and offer prizes for participation.

For Hiring Managers

If you work in human resources, you can use personality tests during the hiring process for a deeper understanding of a candidate’s potential beyond their qualifications. This helps you assess if they align with your team dynamics and company culture. 

You can also use personality tests during a job interview to help you:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of a job candidate’s potential beyond their qualifications, specifically in a professional setting.
  • Assess if a candidate is a team player or if they prefer working independently.
  • Check if candidates flourish in roles that align with their personalities and strengths.
  • Find out if candidates possess good social skills, problem-solving skills, and if they can handle stressful situations.

Tip: Before you create a personality test for a job position, identify the specific traits or characteristics that are essential for success in the role. Use personality interview questions that align with these traits, and during the interview, encourage candidates to share real-life examples from their past experiences that demonstrate these traits in action.

This approach allows you to gain valuable insights into how a candidate’s personality aligns with the demands and expectations of the job, helping you make a more informed hiring decision. 

For Business Owners

When it comes to running a business, personality tests provide you with valuable insights to optimize your teams, improve customer service, and refine your communication and leadership strategies.

  • Learn about your team members’ strengths, working styles, hard and soft skills, and areas for improvement. Use the test results to plan future team-building days, promoting better collaboration and synergy in your organization.
  • Understand your customers’ preferences by using personality tests, and adjust your services accordingly. This will help you tailor your offerings to meet their unique needs and preferences, leading to higher satisfaction and loyalty.

Types of Personality Tests

There are five main types of personality tests, each with its unique approach to personality questions:

Although these tests are effective, they might not be an exact match for what you’re trying to achieve. Instead, you can use statement-based, close-ended, and open-ended personality questions. They’re easier to work with compared to the other personality tests that can get a bit complex.

You can read more about these question types below.

different types of personality tests

Three Types of Personality Questions Every Test Needs

To gain a thorough understanding of someone’s character through a personality test, it’s important to understand the different question types and how to use each one effectively.

Statement-based Personality Questions

With this type of personality test question, you offer a statement, such as ‘I enjoy working closely with others’. The answers are typically measured on a 5 or 10-degree scale, with ‘strongly disagree’ at the bottom and ‘strongly agree’ at the top. Even though these questions are effective for collecting data, they don’t dig too deep into the respondent’s personality.

Close-ended Personality Questions

Close-ended questions require you to provide the respondent with several answers. For example, you could ask a question such as: ‘What do you do if you don’t understand a project assigned by your supervisor?’ Answers could include: Review my notes and hope for the best, ask the supervisor for clarification, ask colleagues for help, or request an extended deadline.

Open-ended Personality Questions

These questions are typically used during the interview process, as they allow the interviewee to provide a detailed answer. Open-ended questions can tell you a lot about a person’s personality, but only if you ask the right ones.

Top 25 Personality Questions for Every Scenario

There is no right or wrong way to conduct a personality test, as it’s based largely on your purpose, the respondent, and what you’re trying to accomplish.

While it’s important to customize your personality test to match your specifications, these 25 questions are a good place to start:

1. What do you consider your greatest achievement in life?

This tells you how a person perceives success. Maybe their greatest achievement is a professional award. Or maybe their greatest achievement is raising three children who went on to earn a college degree. The answer will give you a better understanding of how the person prioritizes their life.

2. What steps do you take to remain calm under pressure?

This is an important question if you’re hiring for a job in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment. You can turn this into a close-ended personality question with answers such as:

  • Ask for help
  • Take a break
  • Review the tasks at hand
  • Cry

3. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

What a person does outside of work gives you insight into who they are. Some people enjoy watching television. Others enjoy spending time outdoors. Some have no personal interests at all.

4. What is your favorite vacation destination?

It’s an innocent question with no right or wrong answer, but it does provide a better understanding of what the person enjoys. You can frame this as a close-ended question with answers such as:

  • Beach
  • Mountains
  • Cross-country road trip
  • Camping

5. What is the greatest injustice you’ve personally experienced?

This is an important question when determining if the interviewee is a good cultural fit for your company. It provides insights into their view of the world, attitudes, past experiences, and boundaries as an individual.

6. What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced?

Everyone faces challenges from time to time. Understanding a person’s biggest challenge will show you how they deal with adversity. It also helps you determine if the person is able to take on the demands of your job.

For example, one person may answer that their biggest challenge was overcoming the death of a loved one. Another person may answer that their biggest challenge was finding the right outfit to wear to a job interview. These answers are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

7. If you face a problem at work, what is the first thing you do?

Asking this question, and providing several answers, provides a true overview of how a person will react if they face a problem at work. Answers could include:

  • Ask for help
  • Delegate the task to someone else
  • Research potential solutions
  • Make excuses

8. If you could only change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

This is an intriguing question because it’s another way of asking a person about their greatest flaw. There’s no right or wrong answer, but the feedback you receive can be useful in helping you understand how the person thinks and whether they have confidence in themselves.

9. What is the question people ask you most often?

This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask, as it shows you what others think of the person.

Is the person often asked for advice? Is the person often asked why they jump to conclusions?

When someone is always asked for advice, it probably means they’re helpful. When someone is always asked why they jump to conclusions, it could be a red flag that they’re not a good team player.

10. What is your best memory from your childhood?

Is it a vacation they took with their family? Is it an achievement in elementary school, such as winning a science fair? The answer gives you insight into an experience that turned the person into who they are today.

11. What is your worst memory from your childhood?

If you’re going to ask about a person’s best memory from childhood, follow-up with this question. Once again, the answer will give you a better understanding of who the person is. For example, if their worst memory was the divorce of their parents, it’ll show you that the person is resilient.

12. Do you find it easy to make new friends?

Some people find it easy to make new friends, which allows them to fit in comfortably in almost any setting.

Conversely, others find it difficult to make new friends, thus putting them at a disadvantage in social situations or when starting a new job.

13. Do you sympathize with people who are going through a tough time?

A person who can sympathize with others is a person you want on your team. These people aren’t only concerned about themselves but truly care about the well-being of others. Most people who answer “yes” are team players.

14. Do you tackle tasks right away or procrastinate until the last minute?

When interviewing job candidates, the answer to this question will give you a better idea of the person’s work ethic and how they tackle difficult tasks. You want someone on your team who is willing to “dive right in” as opposed to waiting until the last minute.

15. What was your favorite game when you were a child?

Did they enjoy playing football with friends? What about tag? How about hide-and-seek? Or did they prefer playing alone?

This will tell you more than a direct question that typically prompts a person to provide an “appropriate” answer. When used as a close-ended personality question, potential answers include:

  • Hide-and-seek
  • Sports
  • Board games
  • Puzzles
  • Playing alone

16. If asked, what would your friends and family say about you?

This is another way of asking “How would your friends and family describe you?”

This reveals how others perceive the person. Ask it as a close-ended question with answers such as:

  • Kind
  • Smart
  • Caring
  • Quiet

17. What is your best trait?

This is similar to question #16, so it makes sense to ask them back-to-back. The answer gives you a clear idea of what a person thinks of themselves.

One person may say their best trait is helping others in times of need. Another person may say their best trait is their good looks. Who would you rather have working by your side?

18. What is your greatest failure?

Many people find it difficult to pinpoint and share their greatest failure, so asking this question will force them to dig deep. The answer gives you insight into the person’s past, the mistakes they’ve made, and the way they dealt with them.

19. How did you turn your greatest failure into a learning experience?

This question should be asked after #18, as it gives the person the opportunity to explain how they turned the failure into a positive experience.

20. Who is your role model?

Understanding a person’s motives and priorities is essential to understanding who they are. If framed as a close-ended question, potential answers include:

  • Family member
  • Friend
  • Co-worker or supervisor
  • A famous person in history

21. What was the happiest period of your life?

Use this question to reveal how a person measures happiness, their priorities in life, and events that molded them into who they are today.

22. What was the saddest period of your life?

A potential follow-up question to #21, the answer helps you see how the person has overcome a difficult period in their life.

23. Would you rather read a book or watch television?

Are you interested in better understanding how a person gathers information? Do you want to learn how they prefer to communicate with others? This question can help.

A person who would rather read a book is more likely to learn visually, such as by reading a set of instructions. People who prefer to watch television may also be visual, but they’re more likely to be open to learning through conversation.

24. Who knows you best?

It’s important to understand if a person has strong personal relationships. If their mother and father know them best, they may be an introvert. But if a friend or co-worker knows them best, they probably excel in making friends and getting along with others.

25. What is one thing you would never say to another person?

This reveals a person’s personal boundaries. Offer answers such as:

  • Something about their personal life
  • Comment about their physical appearance
  • Something about their choice of clothing or style
  • Any statement with a curse word

10 Do’s and Don’ts for Writing Effective Personality Questions

Well-written questions can give you deeper insights into someone’s true character and personality. Keep reading to learn about our top tips for writing effective personality questions, while steering clear of common mistakes.

1. Tailor Questions to Traits

Make sure your personality quiz’s questions directly target the specific personality traits you’re assessing. This ensures accurate insights into the individual’s character and behavior.

For example, during the hiring process, understanding a candidate’s personality type can help determine whether they would thrive in a role that emphasizes teamwork and collaboration or if they would be better suited for a more independent position.

Avoid: Generic or ambiguous questions

Steer clear of vague questions that could be interpreted in multiple ways. Clarity is key for precise personality assessment.

For example, instead of asking, “Are you a team player?” which might receive a generic response, you could ask, “Describe a specific situation where you had to collaborate with a team to achieve a common goal.” 

2. Maintain Neutrality and Unbiased Tone

Write unbiased questions that encourage genuine and unfiltered answers. Although there are no wrong answers, it’s important to avoid leading or loaded questions.

Avoid: Leading or Loaded Questions

Avoid phrasing that guides respondents toward a particular answer. It can skew results and misrepresent their true personality.

3. Test for Consistency and Reliability

Include similar questions in different parts of the assessment to ensure the respondent’s answers align consistently, validating the results.

Avoid: Redundant or repetitive questions

Repeating the same questions in various ways can be bothersome for respondents. It’s better to keep it simple and avoid annoying them, which could affect the accuracy of the answers to personality questions.

4. Incorporate Diverse Question Types

Mix multiple-choice, open-ended, and scaled questions for a comprehensive view of the respondent’s personality, allowing for varied responses.

You can also add smart logic to your personality quiz, which shifts the experience from a robotic questionnaire to an engaging dialogue, giving your quiz respondents a sense of being truly heard and valued.

  • Skip logic can take your respondents down a question path that’s relevant to them. You can use Opinion Stage’s personality quiz maker to easily define which question your respondents will see next based on their answer to the previous one.
  • Answer piping gives an extra personal touch. It allows you to use your respondent’s answer to one question in another question. For example, if you ask a respondent their name, the next question will have their name filled in automatically.

Avoid: Exclusively closed-ended questions

Using only yes/no or one-word answer questions limits how much you can find out and you might miss the finer details of someone’s personality.

5. Use Clear Language and Simple Phrasing

Make sure the language you’re using in your personality quiz is straightforward and easy to understand. 

Avoid: Complicated or confusing wording

Steer clear of confusing language that may result in respondents misinterpreting the questions and providing inaccurate responses.

For example, instead of asking, “In what way do you tend to synergize with your team?”, simply ask, “How do you usually work with your team to achieve goals?” 

6. Include a Mix of Positive and Negative Questions

Balance questions by phrasing some positively and others negatively. This deters respondents from falling into a predictable pattern of answers.

Avoid: Exclusively positive or negative tone of voice

Avoid framing all questions in the same tone, as it might lead to biased responses.  

For example, instead of asking, “Do you think procrastination is always a bad habit?” you can ask, “How do you manage your time effectively to avoid delays in tasks?” 

7. Use Questions That Align With Your Goal  

Double-check that the questions in your personality assessment relate to what you want to find out. The questions should match why you’re doing this assessment and the situation you’re focusing on.

Avoid: Out-of-context or irrelevant questions

Steer clear of including questions that are not connected to the main goal or aim of the personality assessment. Irrelevant questions can distort the overall interpretation of the personality traits you’re trying to assess.

8. Test Questions Internally for Bias

Pilot-test your questions with a diverse group to identify any potential biases based on age, gender, cultural background, etc., and make necessary adjustments.

Avoid: Overlooking diversity in testing

Skipping testing with a diverse group can keep biases ingrained in the questions, which might result in skewed personality profiles.

9. Encourage Genuine Self-Reflection

Add some thought-provoking questions that make respondents pause and reflect on their actions and thoughts. It’s like peeling back the layers to better understand themselves.

Avoid: Superficial or judgmental questions

Avoid questions that are overly critical or don’t prompt genuine self-reflection, as they can lead to inaccurate personality assessments.

For example, instead of asking, “Do you ever make foolish decisions?” you could ask, “Describe a challenging decision you’ve faced and how you approached it.”

10. Keep the Assessment Time-Appropriate

Make sure the assessment doesn’t take too long—aim for a reasonable duration. This way, people stay engaged and provide more accurate and focused responses.

Avoid: Long personality tests and rushed questions

Don’t overload the personality quiz with a lot of questions, as it can lead to respondent fatigue. Avoid writing hurried and thoughtless questions – they might not accurately capture the important details of a person’s personality.

In this article, we’ll break down the concept of quiz marketing, offer some examples, and give you tips that will help you develop your own quiz marketing strategy.

Let’s Get Started

What Is Quiz Marketing?

Simply put, quiz marketing is the technique of using quizzes to aid and boost your marketing strategies. You could use them for boosting engagement, collecting customer feedback, starting a conversation with your community and followers, generating leads, raising brand awareness, and more.

Quizzes come in two main forms, one being a personality quiz and the other a knowledge quiz. Personality quizzes help you learn more about your target audience by asking questions that reveal their interests and preferences. Knowledge quizzes can help you uncover knowledge gaps that you should add to your content strategy. Plus they give you a chance to teach your audience something new about practically any topic from pop culture to sports, history to science.

Each quiz typically consists of a series of simple questions which can range from simple yes-or-no type questions all the way to multiple-choice questions. The goal is to create interesting experiences that will keep people engaged, encourage them to share, and collect valuable insights on what makes them tick. In addition to getting their attention and making a positive impression, you’ll gain access to valuable zero-party data that you can use to better understand your audience and segment them for additional campaigns.

Unlike most passive content marketing tools, these interactive tools let you create exciting personalized experiences that are valuable both to you and to your audience. The numbers speak for themselves, an average quiz shared on social media can easily reach an 80% opening rate and a 90% completion rate.

Why Is It So Effective?

Interactive content has a two to three times higher conversion rate than non-interactive content and can lift the value of your content dramatically. Many marketers are taking advantage of the engagement potential of quizzes in order to increase organic reach and improve user acquisition, surpassing the impact of traditional blog posts.

Case in point: BuzzFeed quizzes have been successfully going viral for over a decade. Quizzes built on their interactive content platform consistently get millions of views.

Of course, it’s not all about the quizzes themselves, the BuzzFeed brand has a significant impact as well. Nevertheless, when designed correctly interactive quizzes can be a powerful tool for growing organic reach and user engagement for any company, big or small.

Here are some reasons that make quizzes a worthwhile addition to your digital marketing strategy:

Boost Engagement

Quizzes may come from the world of educational content, but in the digital age, the use of interactive content like quizzes, is a great way to engage with customers and create a playful experience that they enjoy, share, and remember.

Interactive quizzes are so engaging because they play on three very basic human drives:

  • Curiosity
  • Self-discovery
  • Competition

Who doesn’t want to know what city they should live in, which superhero they are, whether they are trivia geniuses, or if they know everything there is to know about cars, computers, or cooking?

We’re constantly comparing ourselves to others, searching for stimulation, and looking to learn and better ourselves. Quizzes give us a quick and easy way to do all three. This is why so many people love quizzes and enjoy sharing them with others, especially if they are happy, inspired, or amused by the results they get.

Discover Your Brand Personality

Brand personality is the embodiment of a brand’s values and beliefs that create an emotional connection with customers. It is the intangible essence that encourages customers to try your products and eventually become loyal to your brand.

Having a distinct brand personality can help you to:

  • Build stronger connections with customers, as they have something to relate with – almost like having friends and family online – which ultimately leads to more sales.
  • Find your brand’s language, voice, and tone. Once you can see the embodiment of your brand in your mind’s eye, it becomes easier to imagine what this brand-person is interested in and how they look and sounds.
  • Unify your messaging, customer support, documentation, and marketing strategy under one clear yet layered character which is your brand.
  • Stand out among the crowd of competitors. These days, it’s hard to create something original, we all have competitors, and differentiation is close to impossible. However, a brand identity can be unique, just as every person is. It’s the power of specificity.

But how do you discover what kind of brand personality your business should have?

To help you answer this question, we’ve built a brand personality quiz that’s designed to help you identify which one of the 8 brand archetypes best fits your business. It may not answer all your questions, and it may even bring up new questions, but it will definitely help you get this important conversation started.

If you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to start this important journey toward finding your identity. The quiz only takes around 10 minutes to answer, so why not jump ahead and discover your true brand personality today?

Strengthen Brand Awareness

Quizzes can help you connect with customers and further your marketing goals. People enjoy partaking in interactive experiences that are engaging, easy to use, and visually appealing. When these experiences are special or particularly pleasing, they will also enjoy sharing them with others.

By creating a quiz that resonates with your brand and/or displays your values and capabilities you can get people’s attention and raise awareness of your brand. However, in order for it to work your brand needs to come second to user experience. If it seems too promotional and doesn’t offer real value, no one will share it.

An interesting example of raising brand awareness with a quiz is Adobe’s Creative Types quiz. The quiz helps people determine which creative type they are based on a series of questions and provides a personal takeaway of their results.

Not only does the quiz look great from an aesthetic standpoint but it provides an option to download the results which can then be shared across social media channels, continuing to increase brand awareness for Adobe’s products. Overall, the Creative Types quiz is a fun experience that helps boost user interaction while creating greater brand recognition and engagement for Adobe.

Land More Leads & Grow Your Email List

Lead generation involves receiving contact information from potential customers and gradually building a relationship with them until they become customers.

The first part of getting their email can be tricky. People have become wary of such requests and are reluctant to share their personal info.

By offering something of value in exchange, you can make the process more appealing and increase your chances of success. This is why quizzes are a great way to collect leads. As a matter of fact, a lead generation quiz can get up to 5X more leads than a regular lead form.

In lead quizzes, the lead form appears after the answers and before the results – when people are both engaged and curious. Wouldn’t you submit your email address to discover what your personality type is after answering a series of questions? Many people would, especially if the experience is enjoyable and interesting.

Try This Lead Quiz

Note: There is a widget embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's widget.

In addition to email quantity, lead quizzes can also improve their quality for three reasons:

  1. Since people expect to get something in return (i.e. the quiz results) they are more likely to share their real email address.
  2. Every email you receive is associated with quiz answers which can tell you a lot about the person behind the email. Use this knowledge to tailor the content you send them to their interests and needs.
  3. Your first email to them will not be your first interaction with them. You’ve already given them an interactive experience, which increases the chances of them interacting with future content you send.

You could also make a gated quiz, by asking people for their email for access to it. However, the effectiveness of this strategy depends on your topic and promise. If taking the quiz is important enough to your audience they will cooperate. Otherwise, they may not.

Pro tip: Some leads might be fake or have misspelled contact details, which can waste your time and hurt your email deliverability. To avoid this, you might want to use a lead verification tool that checks whether email addresses and other info are real before you follow up.

Boost Sales With Personalized Recommendations

Personalization has been shown to significantly improve customer experience and lead to more sales. Use quizzes to provide personalized product recommendations to your customers quickly and easily.

So many people go through the whole sales funnel and decide not to buy at the last minute simply because they can’t choose between a number of options. Even more people give up after a quick search that doesn’t render a solution to the problem their seeking to solve. A good product quiz can make them feel like they have a personal shopper.

A product quiz helps you understand customer interests and send them to appropriate product options and offers, leading to higher conversions. Based on their answers to a series of friendly questions you can direct them to the products and services they need. In other words, a product recommendation quiz can boost sales, reduce lost sales, and improve customer satisfaction while saving time and money for your shoppers.

You can use such a quiz to give customers the feeling that they’re receiving personal advice about which goods or services would be ideal for them. Not only does this create positive experiences, it also unlocks new opportunities while enhancing existing relationships.

Minimize Churn & Maximize Loyalty

Retention/loyalty content should play an essential role in the marketing strategy of any business. This type of content helps keep customers engaged and ensures long-term satisfaction. Automation-driven customer service features such as AI contact centers, chatbots, and troubleshooting tools can be useful for this purpose. Interactive content like quizzes, surveys, and polls can also play a significant part in this important process.

By using a quiz you can collect honest feedback from your customers without burdening them. On the contrary, you’ll be giving them something fun to do. All you need is to create a quiz about something that interests them and include a couple of questions that interest you.

For example, imagine that you are Netflix and you want to find out what percentage of your audience watches your content on their phones, or how many of them binge-watch series. You could create a “what should I watch now” quiz, and include a question like “which device will you be watching this series on?” or “how many episodes do you intend to watch In a row?” So now, with one quiz you’ve recommended a series that your customer is likely to enjoy, and received information that will help you keep them happy.

Three Inspiring Quiz Marketing Examples

Many quizzes are used successfully in marketing all the time. We could share the most popular ones. However, since you could easily find them with a quick google search, we’ve chosen three that may not be the most popular or even the most successful, but are, in our opinion, creative, well-implemented, and inspiring.

The Il Makiage Makeup Quiz

Il Makiage, a makeup brand based in New York, tackled one of the biggest problems of shopping for makeup online with a quiz.  They created a short and friendly experience that helps you discover the perfect foundation for your skin color.

In addition to being an excellent product recommender that takes almost all potential difficulties into account, it also contributes a lot to brand awareness and reflected the brand’s personality.

  • The voice and tone are friendly.
  • The Brand shows its expertise without boasting.
  • It makes customers feel comfortable with their own skin.

So it’s a sales funnel, a marketing tool, and a brand awareness boost, all rolled into one.

Noom’s Onboarding Quiz

Noom, a healthy living and nutrition app uses a personality quiz as its onboarding funnel. The quiz stars as the main feature on the company’s homepage and takes people on a conversational journey towards conversion.

While asking routine onboarding questions that help Noom send potential customers to the right product packages, the quiz also offers empowering tips, words of encouragement, and informative messages. By doing so, Noom is not only getting to know its potential customer but also showing who they are as a brand and what they believe in.

The experience is so personalized and inspiring, that even people who don’t sign up leave with new useful information, and a much better idea about the brand, which they will most probably remember, and maybe even recommend.

Engaging Quizzes by The New York Times

The New York Times uses quizzes regularly to start up conversations around current events and political issues. The quizzes help them to get their audience more engaged with their content and to reach new audiences.

In 2013 one of their quizzes, known as the dialect quiz, even won a Peabody award. The quiz asks visitors a series of questions about the words they use to define different things, and based on their answers it tells them which area of the US they are from. Within a few weeks, it got tens of millions of visitors and is still available on the NY Times site.

Another powerful quiz run in the Outlet’s “Upshot” section, was the Administrative Burden quiz, which highlighted the findings of academic research published that year. The quiz invites readers to find out whether they could manage as poor Americans. It demonstrates how costly seemingly small bureaucratic mistakes can be for the poor population in the US. The use of a quiz turned the academic content into a personal experience for readers, which increased its impact, readership, and the surrounding conversation. 

How Can You Use Online Quizzes In Your Interactive Content Marketing?

This question is more for you than it is for us since the answer depends on your marketing strategy. However, to start off, you could check out the examples above and others to see what some successful brands are doing with quiz content, and ask yourself questions like:

  • What value is each company giving its audience with marketing and brand quizzes?
  • What value are these quizzes giving the company?
  • How does each company combine interactive content marketing and static content marketing?
  • What goals are trying to reach with their marketing quizzes?

By examining their quiz content marketing strategies you can learn about what could work for you, extract some does and don’ts, and generally get inspired.

Next, you could brainstorm relevant topics that align with your business goals. You could use quiz marketing to promote a product, gather feedback, spice up existing static content, collect leads, or ramp up customer engagement.

When you’ve honed in on your goal, put some thought into how you can reach it. If engagement is your goal, you could focus on making a fun quiz, with humorous questions, tons of images, and funny yet empowering results. However, for lead generation, you could focus on value or offer a special incentive that would make people want to give you their email address.

When crafting questions keep your goals and audience in mind. Consider style, length, difficulty, structure, and design before clicking on “publish”.

Just like any piece of content, once created you need to make sure the quiz reaches its intended audience. You could use your email lists, encourage sharing on your social networks, and give it a strategic place on your website.

Most importantly don’t forget to track analytics post-launch like response rate, user completion times and interests gathered from responses.

Get Started With Your Marketing Quizzes

Every quiz marketing funnel stems from a broader marketing funnel. It uses multiple channels and techniques to do so, including social media campaigns, email marketing, and targeted ads combined with ad tracking to ensure that each effort is effectively monitored and optimized.

A quiz marketing funnel is an interactive experience that helps both engage and qualify users by identifying their needs while entertaining them with fun high-quality content.

With the right approach and a bit of creativity, online quizzes can be an extremely powerful marketing tool. If you’re looking to increase engagement, grow your email list, raise brand awareness, or boost conversions a quiz can be an invaluable part of your interactive content marketing strategy.

Creating a quiz marketing funnel is quite easy, although it does require some planning as well as trial and error. So, let’s dive right in.

1. Define Your Goal

To make an effective quiz funnel, you should always have a purpose in mind, something that goes beyond mere entertainment.

Your goal could be to increase content shareability, land more leads, gain brand authority, raise awareness of a specific issue, or simply reach a bigger audience.

So, before building your quiz, ask yourself what you want it to do for you, what you want it to offer your audience, and what you would define as success.

2. Identify Your Target Audience

When creating a quiz for your business, the second step is to identify exactly who you want to attract: the ever-elusive “right audience.”

To find that, you have to look at who your usual audience is and then target a specific subset of that group based on the goals you set. Preferably, this audience should be active on social media, since that’s where most of the engagement will occur.

Your target audience should be your compass. Look at your quiz from their perspective and use it to determine the type of quiz you create and how you promote it.

For example, a trivia event could appeal to many different demographics, while an art history quiz would appeal to a certain niche. Similarly, a personality-type quiz could interest a large audience, while a quiz built to help you discover your spirit animal could draw in a specific crowd. This is not to say that you should necessarily go for the most broadly popular topic, on the contrary, sometimes a specialized quiz can have more power. If your target audience is highly active in online forums, creating a Reddit quiz could be a great way to spark discussions and engage users in a way that feels organic to the platform.

Knowing your targets will also help you decide how to design and word it, where to share it, and how to promote it.

3. Choose a Quiz Type

Once you’ve defined your goal and audience, it’s time to choose the type of quiz you want to create.

There’s an endless number of quiz types to choose from. Each is suitable for a different use case or scenario. For now, let’s focus on the two main formats you can use:

Use a Personality Quiz

In personality quizzes there is never an incorrect or correct answer, it’s all about giving people the chance to learn something new about themselves. That something could be anywhere from extremely silly to profound.

To build a personality quiz you begin by defining its outcomes. In other words, the different result people can reach. For example, imagine you’re building a personality quiz that’s supposed to help people find the perfect focus music. In this case, each of your outcomes could recommend a different type of music, and link to a relevant playlist.

Next, you would create a list of questions that could help you understand which outcome suits each quiz-taker. For example:

Which of the following sounds do you find most distracting?

  • Human chatter
  • Songs with words
  • Rhythmic music
  • Dramatic nature sounds

And then you would associate each answer option with the relevant outcome so that by the time they reach the end, the quiz algorithm will automatically send them to the outcome that suits them.

Personality quizzes use the powerful desire for self-discovery to entertain and engage. This super popular quiz type is also often used to segment target audiences based on their opinions and preferences in order to offer them personalized content and product recommendations.

Use a Knowledge Quiz

Have you ever wanted to prove how much you know about a certain topic or demonstrate your expertise? A knowledge quiz is a perfect way to do just that.

Knowledge quizzes, also known as trivia quizzes, test a person’s familiarity and understanding of a subject. You can use a trivia quiz for educational purposes, such as independent learning or online exams, or for fun, for example, to show how much you know about Christmas, or to discover if you could win “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”.

Trivia quizzes are great for marketing because people love to challenge themselves, whether they competing with themselves or with others. If you want to promote a new product you could offer it as a prize to whoever wins a quiz competition about your field of expertise.

4. Think of an Attention-Grabbing Title

It doesn’t matter how amazing your quiz is, if the title is vague or uninspiring no one is ever going to click on it. So, take the time to think about your title and craft something attention-grabbing. You may want to come up with a few options and test them to see what works best.

In general, your title should be:

  • Specific. Give people an idea of what this specific quiz will give them.
  • Intriguing. You want to get people curious. Phrasing it as a question often does the trick.
  • Clear. People need to understand it at first glance, otherwise, they’ll leave you behind and continue to scroll.

5. Write Your Questions

Creating effective quiz questions is a key element of setting up an exciting and engaging quiz. Generally, experts recommend aiming for no more than 10 questions in total.

A few points to keep in mind when writing your questions:

  • Good questions will spark curiosity, tap into an internal desire, or challenge participants in some way.
  • The essence of the questions can be challenging, but the language shouldn’t be. Try to make each question as short, clear, and understandable as possible.
  • Avoid making trick questions or those requiring complex reasoning if you want people to actually take your quiz and enjoy it.
  • Make sure that your questions sound friendly in your quiz-takers mind. Having other people read your questions and tell you how they sound could be very helpful here.
  • Pay attention to your answer options. You’ll want to include all possibilities and make sure they don’t overlap.

6. Use Pleasing Visuals

Visual content works. We all know that by now. Whether it’s video, infographics, gifs, or illustrations they all get more eyes on your content for longer. The same goes for quizzes. Good visuals will help you get the initial attention you need, encourage people to start your quiz, make it fun and easy for them to stay, and inspire them to share. So:

  • Put a bright and attention-grabbing image, gif, or video under your title.
  • Use visuals as part of your questions, or to illustrate them.
  • Add pics to your answer options to emphasize what they mean or the emotion behind them.
  • Select a fun and heartwarming visual for every result page, so that no matter how they did, people will finish your quiz with a smile.

7. Decide If & How You Will Generate Leads

Lead generation is an essential part of most business growth models, and quizzes can help you get there quickly and effectively.

If you want your quiz to generate leads, treat it like a product you’re promoting. In other words, take time to design it correctly and market it effectively.

Most lead quizzes ask participants for their contact information towards the end of the quiz as a condition for receiving the results. But sometimes you’ll want to let people skip the lead page. It depends on how important it is for you that they reach the last page.

In general, it’s best to ask for contact info in a friendly and polite manner. Telling people what you will and won’t do with their contact info can also be useful since transparency inspires trust.

Additional incentives can be effective as well. These could include discounts, early access, coupons, etc. Finding the right balance between asking, incentivizing, and intruding is key here. So, don’t be too pushy, and make sure to use caution when it comes to data protection compliance.

8. Encourage Sharing

Now that you have a working interactive quiz, it’s time to make it shareable. This means providing users with an option to share their results on social media or other websites.

As mentioned earlier, making your quiz shareable begins with the use of visuals, such as vibrant images and memes related to answers or questions in your quiz. People on social media prefer visual content over plain text, so give them something they can share that is exciting, humorous, or relevant to them.

You should also choose an optimistic angle when describing the results. Research shows that both quizzes and polls are highly shareable, but only if they have a positive result.

Additionally, include a social sharing bar, or links to social within the quiz to make sharing more accessible. Our quiz tool also gives you the option to suggest a customized message for them to use when sharing the quiz, which can make it even easier.

Push Your Quiz Actively But Gracefully. When sharing it on social media, consider these points:

  • You could add targeted hashtags to increase visibility.
  • Explicitly asking people to share can also be effective.
  • Consider various paid strategies, like a sponsored post, or guest posts.
  • Use a quiz as a fresh conversational way to retarget users who have already visited your site.

9. Follow Up & Remarket

A successful quiz campaign can drive prospects further down the sales funnel and help you get additional leads. So, don’t forget to monitor your quiz and reach out to participants with personalized emails.

You could send thank-you messages to every participant right after they finish your quiz. This is a great way to give them the incentive or content you promised or to welcome them to your newsletter.

Another idea could be to send them information about products and services that are relevant to their quiz answers and result. You could also send recommendations for interesting articles, videos, webinars, and more.

10. Monitor, Learn & Iterate on the Go

Just like any marketing campaign, it’s important to monitor and analyze quiz performance and results when responses start coming in. The indicators you measure should be defined by the goals you set in the beginning.

Some quiz tools have built-in analytics dashboards that let you look at metrics like quiz views, starts, and completions. You can also look at time-on-quiz, drop-off-rates, leads collected, and of course the answers themselves.

In addition, you can use your marketing analytics tools to examine how your quiz influenced your social and/or website activity. For example, you could check how it affected your social media shares, website traffic, page visits, conversion, dwell time, and bounce rate. You could also measure how your quiz marketing influenced your following using different monitoring and tracking tools like an Instagram follower tracker.

You can use all this data for strategic improvements next time around, but you don’t have to wait till then, you can optimize your quiz while it’s live. Change the order of questions, delete some or add some, rephrase questions, and more. Whatever you need to do to make your quiz-takers more curious and involved.

11. Share the Results as Original Content

Quiz-takers often like to get something extra out of taking a quiz. Access to a summary of all the results could be just that. It’s a nice way to end the experience they shared with you and many other people, plus it gives them the opportunity to see themselves in a broader context.

So don’t be afraid to make a big deal out of it. Give your quiz and your quiz takers the respect they deserve, and treat this content as a celebration of sorts.

When creating this content, bear in mind that it should present an honest yet positive summary of the experience. Use visual graphs and charts to reflect the breakdown of quiz results, and share some insights that they led you to.

This content could also serve as a conversation starter or as an invitation to join a community of like-minded people (based on their quiz experience or results).

If it’s a live quiz that’s part of a bigger event it’s best to keep it down to around five questions.

When it’s time to host your quiz, you could simply share the quiz link with your audience via chat or messaging app, or you could ask them to scan a QR code that you added to your presentation.

Once the quiz is over, you can share the results dashboard on a big screen and discuss the results and/or announce the winner. Find out more about Kahoot Style live quizzes and Zoom quizzes.

How Can I Make My Quiz More Exciting?

Making your quiz more exciting is all about engaging your audience and getting them involved in the game or conversation. Here are a few tips that could help:

  • Use bright, fun, and beautiful images throughout the quiz.
  • Give it an exciting title, like: “Could You Win the Million Dollar Prize in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? “
  • Add humor to your questions and answer options.
  • Make it a prize-bearing quiz competition. That’s always a good way to add some excitement to the experience.
  • Introduce a time limit to increase urgency.

Are Quizzes Effective in Marketing?

Absolutely! Quizzes are a great way to engage with your target audience and get them involved in the conversation. Additionally, they can help you gain valuable insights into your customers’ preferences and interests.

Quizzes can also be used to generate leads and increase conversions by providing users with personalized recommendations based on their answers. Furthermore, they are a fun and interactive way to promote products or services, as well as build brand awareness.

With these benefits in mind, it’s no wonder so many businesses are turning to quizzes as an effective marketing tool.

Are you looking for a fun way to engage your website visitors? How about asking them some true or false questions? It can be both telling and enjoyable.

Adding a true or false quiz to your website will not only draw your audience in but will also give them something to share. Most importantly, it’ll give you the opportunity to get to know them better.

These are the true or false question topics we will cover. You can jump right in or read on for some useful information on how to build a true/false question and what you can use it for.

true or false questions

Types of True or False Questions

True or false questions are a type of choice questions where you present your respondents with a statement and ask them to choose the correct answer between two answer options, which are “true” or “false”, of course.

There’s no limit to the kind of true or false questions you can ask. But generally, they’re broken down into two main categories:

  • Personality questions: These are questions you ask your audience about themselves and their preferences. There are no right or wrong answers here. The goal is more about getting to know your audience better so that you can cater to their needs.
  • Knowledge questions: These are more like trivia questions that test the respondent’s knowledge by challenging them to select the correct answer. If you want to offer your audience a challenging game or teach them something new in an experiential way, this is the way to go. 
Person asking and wondering

Once you pin down the type and goal of the questions you wish to ask, it’s time to decide on the question format.

Types of Quizzes & Formats

If you want to ask one true or false question (or more) online, you basically have three distinct question generation formats to choose from. You could:

  • Make a quiz: It could be a personality quiz or a trivia quiz where you ask a series of true or false questions and calculate scores based on the answer. This is a great way to collect qualified leads and strengthen communication with your audience.
  • Create a poll: For a single quick question, make a poll with our poll maker to collect opinions, boost interaction, or spark conversation in a fun, visual way. Check out our poll templates for some ideas. 
  • Build a survey: Use a survey to collect and compare data about a specific audience or topic. Take a look at our survey templates to discover various use cases.  

Whether you choose to make a quiz, survey, or poll, you can base it purely on the true or false format or combine a variety of question formats. Examine your goals, the type of data you’re after, and the nature of your audience to figure out which approach is best for you. 

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time to answer one final question: what should you ask? Below, you will find all the inspiration you need, broken down by category.

Trivia True or False Questions

True or false formats can be used as exam questions,  control questions, competitive quizzes, formative assessment questions, and more. But they can also be used for fun and games! Here’s a collection of Trivia true/false questions for you to enjoy. We’re sure they’ll give you ideas for many more. 

Here’s a live example of a true or false trivia quiz, try it out:

Personality True or False Questions

True or false questions are not all about knowledge. You can use them to get to know your participants better and to help them learn new things about themselves. Here are some examples.

It’s a nice way to get to know your audience even better, and maybe gain new perspectives you hadn’t thought of. On the other hand, if your goal is quantitative, and you want to receive definitive results it would be better to stick to the binary answer options.

An ice breaker question is exactly what it sounds like: it’s a question that you ask a personal or business contact to break the ice and ease into a conversation. Generally, ice breaker questions are thought-provoking to the point of encouraging the other person to talk.

Of course, the ice breaker questions you use in one situation won’t necessarily work in another. So it’s critical that you have a good understanding of the social situation at hand in order to break the ice in a suitable manner that moves the conversation forward and teaches you more about the other party.

Icebreaker ship at sea.

How to Choose the Right Icebreaker?

There’s no right or wrong way to choose ice breaker questions. The approach you take is based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

  • The type of relationship you have with the other individual
  • Whether or not you have spoken with the other person in the past
  • The setting (casual or business)
  • The goal of the conversation

You get the point. But of course, we won’t leave you hanging. Instead, we’ve compiled a list of icebreakers for every situation imaginable. Let’s take a closer look at 100+ questions you can use, broken down by category.

Marketing leaders are always looking for new ways to engage and delight their audience. Interactive web content is exactly what they need. In this article we’re going to discuss the following 17 examples of interactive content:

  1. Quizzes
  2. Polls
  3. Surveys
  4. Infographics
  5. Video
  6. Live Streaming
  7. Calculators
  8. Whitepapers
  9. Interactive Maps
  10. Dynamic Timelines
  11. Graphs and Charts
  12. Games and Gamification
  13. Wheel of Fortune
  14. Product Finders

  16. Slideshows
  17. Interactive Forms

But before we dive in – some context.

Interactive content is a great way to engage and delight your audience

What is Interactive Content Marketing?

Over the years, we’ve learned that inbound marketing – the kind that speaks to your customers and attracts their interest, is more appealing than outbound advertising. Sales calls and cold emails just aren’t as effective as they used to be.

However, we’re also in a world where standard inbound marketing strategies like content marketing and social media are everywhere. As a result, it’s harder for companies to turn interest into genuine engagement. That’s where interactive content comes in.

Use Interactivity to Engage Your Audience

You can easily make a survey, quiz, or poll and take your conversations with customers to the next level. This isn’t a new concept in the marketing world. BuzzFeed, one of the most popular websites in the world, creates an average of 7.8 quizzes each day to engage its audience.

However, it’s only recently that marketers have started to see how valuable this type of content can be in comparison to static content. While simple blogs and videos are easy enough to produce, they often fail to resonate in a marketplaces that’s over-saturated with information.

Interactive materials push people to get actively involved with your brand. Instead of passively reading or watching, they act, gain information, receive personalized experiences, and strengthen their connection to your company.

Add interactive content to your marketing to-do list

Interactive content marketing should be at the top of your to-do list, because:

Examples of Interactive Content

Any asset produced on your website to engage your audience and push them into taking action is essentially interactive. For some companies, interactive marketing will be all about designing quizzes and polls. For others, the best approach will be dynamic ads and product selection surveys.

As with most marketing campaigns, the best way to figure out which forms of content marketing tools work best for your audience is to test some different ideas.

Here are some examples to inspire you.

1. The Quiz

Quizzes are compelling because they promise us a deeper insight into ourselves. Even if the information you gain is superficial, it’s interesting. Most of us would much rather find out what kind of salad dressing we are with a personality quiz than respond to boring work emails. As marketers, quizzes are compelling because a good quiz has impressive conversion rates and can be very effective in lead generation.

Quizzes are easy to create and actively engage your audience by providing instant answers to their questions. When used effectively, an interactive quiz not only delivers valuable information but also highlights your brand’s unique personality, making the experience both informative and memorable.

Another benefit to consider is that a quiz that asks your audience to share information about their thoughts, feelings, and personality helps you get to know them better. It’s a great way to entertain your customers while showing thought leadership. It’s also an excellent way to consensually collect useful information about them. And, if you make it exciting enough, it has a high potential of being shared across verious social media platforms.

There are many different kinds of quizzes, such as:

  • Personality quizzes: E.g. “Are you more of a Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall Person?”
  • Diagnostic quizzes: E.g. “Do you have the common symptoms of diabetes?”
  • Trivia quizzes: E.g. “How much do you really know about the history of phones?”

Just remember that it’s more than writing a series of questions, it’s creating a journey. So, you should make a quiz that is inviting and engaging. One that takes your audience on a colorful journey. By doing so you will make your viewer an active participant, and maybe even a brand advocate. 

Here’s a live example. Try it out:

2. Polls

Among the many types of content available, polls are a great way to simultaneously capture audience attention and increase your knowledge of your audience. A poll is good for top-of-the-funnel marketing. That’s when your audience is in the awareness stage, looking for options and solutions to their problems.

With a product poll, you ask your audience to consider what the best solution to their problem might be. For example, you can use our poll maker to create a poll that asks Facebook followers whether they would rather have a DIY app for accounting or a professional person-to-person service that guides them through the process.

You can also tap polls to generate ideas for new or updated product lines. A fashion company might ask its customers what colors they like best, or which trends are most appealing to them right now. The great thing about polls is that they don’t require much effort from your audience (or from you). If your customers aren’t invested enough in your brand for a full quiz, a poll requires just one click of a button.

There are many types of questions you can use in your poll. Here are a few examples:

  • Multiple choice: E.g., “How do you prefer to drink your coffee? (a) Black (b) With milk (c) With a milk substitute (d) I don’t drink coffee
  • Rating scale: E.g., “On a scale of 1-5, how do you feel about working from home? (1=I hate it, 5=I love it)”
  • This or that: E.g., “Takeaway or home-cooked meal? ”

 

Interactive content example: financial poll question

3. Surveys

Surveys are similar to polls because they ask for your audience’s thoughts and opinions. However, with polls, you generally focus on one question.

With a survey, you ask a number of questions to get to deeper, more valuable information. For instance, a survey about your customer service strategy might ask your audience:

  • How long did you wait for a customer service rep?
  • Would you use our service again, or recommend it to others?
  • What did you like about your interaction?
  • What would you like us to do differently?
  • How would you rate our efficiency on a scale of 1 to 5?

Using a survey maker makes it easy to build an engaging interactive survey that can help you communicate with your audience.

If you’re experimenting with this format of content for the first time, avoid asking too many questions in your surveys straight away. This might scare customers off. In addition, make sure your questions are clear and consider adding images or other visual content. It’s inviting and encourages respondents to continue.

Try out this interactive survey:

4. Interactive Infographics

Xerox found that 65% of brands use infographics in their content marketing.

Infographics are brilliant for building brand awareness because they deliver plenty of valuable information in an easy-to-consume format. They provide a colorful fountain of data, often organized into bite-sized chunks.

Static infographics are great, but you can take them to the next level by making them an interactive experience. A little bit of coding is all it takes to create a page that unfolds as your customer clicks on pieces of information.

You could even create an Infographic like this Padio.com infographic. It shows you the daily routine of famous creative people and lets you filter their schedules according to your interest.

Interactive infographics like this are great because they allow users to control the information they get. This means that you can create something that appeals to various segments of your audience, without forcing each client to scour through tons of irrelevant information.

5. Interactive Video: AR & 360 Degree Videos

You could argue that video is inherently interactive. We engage with video by clicking a button for it to play and listening to or watching the information presented.

As technology and websites continue to evolve, we now have new ways of making videos even more interactive. For instance, you can create interactive video content that allows visitors to click on different elements as they go through the clip, directing their own educational experience.

With 360-degree video, you can invite customers to step into a different environment and explore it with their smartphone. As you move your device, your perspective changes, giving you a more complete view. If you’re watching from a stationary screen you can move the video image with your mouse. Check out this eye-opening National Geographic 360 video, for instance:

People are becoming more comfortable with interactive video these days as it begins to appear on channels like Facebook and Instagram. You can even build your own AR video experiences into apps and pre-existing tools like Snapchat. Gucci, for example, invites customers to try on new shoes with AR. 

6. Live Streaming

This is another example of how you can make your videos more interactive. Usually, when you use video in marketing, you produce something like a product demo or “How to” video and post it on social media. Your customers then have the freedom to interact with your piece of content whenever they choose.

Live streaming takes a different approach. It asks your clients to connect with you at a specific time, on a certain platform. And it works. 80% of people would rather watch a live video than read a blog. And 45% of them say they’d even pay for exclusive live streaming from their favorites.

As you stream your fresh content, customers can ask you questions, react to what you’re saying with emojis, and more. Live streaming is as close as you can get to having a face-to-face conversation with your audience when you’re millions of miles away.

7. Interactive Calculators

Another excellent example of interactive marketing tools is the online calculator or measurement tool. Based on the simple calculator we all know, it provides a valuable source of entertainment and information for customers. Like the interactive quiz, the interactive calculator offers immediate feedback. It addresses your consumer and their need for instant gratification.

Over the years, companies have created everything from headline analyzers to savings calculators, salary checkers, and unit converters. All participants need to do is input their email and some basic information. The calculator sorts through the information and delivers an automatic response. It’s a win-win situation, users receive the information they need and brands receive qualified contact info. Many private banking and investment companies use financial calculators to attract potential clients and start a conversation with them. But some marketing wizards take this excellent tool to the next level.

The Hubspot Website Grader regularly shows up among industry-leading interactive marketing examples. This in-browser app asks you to enter your email and website address. In return, Hubspot calculates the quality of your site based on plenty of informative metrics and resources to give a score.

Hubspot Website Grader is a great example of interactive content.

The great thing about calculators is that they come with a selling opportunity tied in. If a customer discovers that they don’t have a good website, for instance, or that they don’t show up well on search engines, Hubspot can sell them services to improve their quality score. And they trust Hubspot enough to know that a better score will probably influence the important stuff, i.e. increase site views and conversions.

Even if your prospects don’t need anything from you immediately, you get their email address to nurture them towards a conversion later.

8. Dynamic Whitepapers

Whitepapers demonstrate your authority in your field and help to build a rapport with your clients. Instead of pushing a particular service or product, you can use whitepapers to deliver insights on an important topic. In a standard whitepaper, the most interactive activity is skipping from one page to the next. However, a whitepaper can be a powerful form of interactive personalized content (when used correctly).

You can use animations and infographics to make the experience more immersive. You might add a visual timeline to your whitepaper, or a quiz halfway through. Look at this dynamic whitepaper from NetApp.

Interactive whitepaper example from

The interactive elements of the design give you different ways to click through the information, keeping the user active and interested while reading. Combining different types of quality content, like videos, infographics, and dynamic timelines further engages the reader along the way.

9. Interactive Maps

If you’re sharing data from a range of geographical locations, your audience will only want to see the information that’s most relevant to them. Rather than making your customers scroll through a long infographic to find the information that’s suitable to them, try a dynamic map instead.

Vibrant Doors uses an eyecatching dynamic map as the entrance gate to a rich interactive experience of interior design trends around the world. A click on the map will lead you to another interactive page about design trends in the country you chose. It’s quite enchanting, don’t you think?

Vibrant Doors interior design dynamic map.

The functionality of your interactive map will depend on different factors, including what you can give your customers in various locations. For example, if you have physical stores set-up in countries around the world, you might provide addresses and directions when someone clicks on a certain portion of your map. If you want to show where your company is making an impact, you can design a map that links to case studies of your work in each region.

10. Dynamic Timelines

Timelines are one of the most popular types of infographics. They provide useful data based on specific points in history. For this reason, they are a great way to offer an insight into your company’s growth.

So, if you’re trying to develop credibility as a growing company, a timeline shows your customers how far you’ve come. The use of a timeline also shows that you know how to do your research and present it. Compiling information into an organized and orderly set of points in time makes your business seem professional and well-read.

Interactive timelines are compelling because they give customers a way to click around and explore points in history. There’s no demand to read the information in a linear fashion. This can increase both time-on-page and click-through-rate.

In this timeline, Akita, a UK-based IT support company, uses an interactive timeline as an engaging thought leadership tool. Their timeline offers a visual representation of the history of computing.

Interactive timeline example: the history of computing.

When you build your timeline, make sure you know which moments in history. If you’re creating a company roadmap, your timelines should focus on your heritage and critical points in your evolution. If you want to stand out as environmentally friendly, show all the biggest environmental initiatives you’ve been involved in. In other words, focus on what matters most to your target audience, whether it’s customers, investors, or potential employees.

11. Graphs and Charts

Interactive marketing is often effective because it presents information in an engaging way. One area where it’s particularly useful to spice up your information is graphs and charts. If you’ve ever seen a graph or chart that’s so full of information it becomes difficult to read, you’ll know how valuable interactivity can be.

Interactive charts and graphs can help you highlight what’s important in easy, digestible chunks. They also give your audience the option to drill down into deeper details by clicking on a link or hovering over something.

The Pew Research Center’s data visualization of The Next America by Paul Taylor includes quite a few interesting examples of interactive demographic graphs and charts. The image below is taken from an interactive chart that shows the size of the US population by age group from 1950 to 2060. You can toggle the years and see the population composition change accordingly.

Interactive chart by Pew Research Center

In any business, data visualization is extremely powerful. However, the best tools will only show the minimum amount of information at first glance. Let your audience decide which concepts they want to learn more about. After all, flooding a client with too much information can be overwhelming. Interactive graphs and charts put your audience in the driver’s seat. 

12. Games (Gamification)

We all like having a little fun from time to time – even if it’s in the middle of a shopping trip or checking out a company’s website. Gamification is another form of interactive marketing that you can add to your site to make it more appealing. Taking a playful approach to knowledge sharing has proven effective in multiple fields, from education to habit building and brand awareness development.

This gamified chart by Setosa explains why buses bunch together by letting you influence their schedule. Participating makes the learning easier, more interesting, and more memorable.

Why do buses bunch? Gamified interactive content by Setosa.

Games are captivating both cognitively and emotionally. They stimulate our need to compete, succeed and prove ourselves to ourselves and to others.

You don’t need to be a gamer or game developer to use gamification in your marketing strategy. You could, for example, easily build contests using online trivia quizzes that are both fun and informative. Here are some quiz templates that can help you get started. This is a great way to get your audience’s attention, connect with them, and give them a memorable experience they’ll enjoy. They may also share it, giving you the opportunity to enjoy some user-generated content. It’s also an excellent way to generate leads.

13. Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of fortune apps, like Wheelio, are another example of gamification that’s becoming increasingly popular on eCommerce sites. Their add ons invite users to spin a wheel for a prize in exchange for their email addresses.

It’s a gamified lead form. The retailer gets a new lead to add to their email list, and the customer gets the chance to win free shipping or a discount code for their purchase.

Wheel of fortune lead generation

Adding fun and games to your marketing strategy doesn’t just boost engagement; it has a positive impact on your brand image too. You show your customers that you have a friendly, human side. That’s the kind of thing that inspires repeat purchases later.

14. Product Finders

Interactive marketing tools serve a variety of purposes, depending on how you use them.

Quizzes, surveys, and gamification elements entertain your audience. They give them a reason to spend more time on your website and interact with your brand. Interactive blogs and articles allow users to control their education. As a result, customers get to choose how much information they get about different topics.

In some cases, interactive pieces of content can also be an excellent way to simplify the purchasing journey for your customer.

For instance, you could use a product recommendation quiz to help your customer decide what they should buy. Product finders come in different formats, but in general, they ask your customers what they need, and generate a list of suitable products based on their reply.

Here’s a live example you can try:

Product finders are as close as you can get to personally guiding our customers through the online purchase. They work for everything from eCommerce stores, to SaaS providers and even agencies.

15. Countdown Timers

Countdown timers are not only for races and contests. They have started to grow in popularity among marketing experts since the rise of concepts like FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Today’s customers are interested in saving money. They want to feel like they’re taking advantage of all the best deals and opportunities out there. Putting a clock or timer on your website adds a sense of urgency to your deal.

With an interactive timer that changes every time a user logs onto a web page, you constantly push your audience towards a purchase. The sense of urgency grows with every tick.

Countdown timers are another type of interactive content.

The key to success with these interactive time-sensitive formats is ensuring that the experience is authentic for your audience. Once the countdown ends, your customers won’t expect to see it starting up again the next time they visit your website. In other words, show commitment if you wish to create loyalty. And follow through on your threat to take the offer off the table. Used correctly, countdowns can help you create a buzz about your brand too.

These kinds of time-sensitive experiences are brilliant for generating more engagement between your audience and company.

16. Slideshows

Slideshows are an excellent way to guide your audience through a story or narrative,  without relying on video. They are a versatile tool for sharing information and insights. You can design flipbooks that make it feel as though your audience is flicking through the pages of a real-life magazine. Alternatively, you might create an interactive slideshow with animated elements on every page.

Some companies use slide shows to make their company reports more engaging. Others use them as a learning tool. You could even combine slideshows with trivia quizzes and other interactive practices to create an online webinar. If you’re not ready to go live, you can also use pre-recorded webinar platforms to build engaging experiences that run on your schedule while still keeping viewers actively involved.

Slideshows as an example of interactive content.

The key to success with slideshows is the same as with any valuable marketing effort. Whatever topic you’re covering, make sure that you’re providing information that makes your customers want to carry on clicking.

Slideshows also work best when there’s more visual information than written text. So use a lot of photos, illustrations, and videos. Just make sure you don’t overwhelm your audience with details, or your slideshow will start to feel like an interactive whitepaper or eBook instead.

17. Interactive Forms

Interactive forms are a valuable lead generation tool for any website. They’re the solutions that companies use to build an email list for lead nurturing. Forms also help customers to request quotes for services, or book appointments with professionals.

Although some forms can be a little boring and annoying to fill out, they’re a crucial part of the client-provider relationship. They’re often a gateway to successful email marketing since they’re used to collect email subscribers. With the right form, you can avoid the annoyance and even increase the chances of customers becoming dedicated members of your community as well as advocates for your brand.

The important thing to remember when designing forms for your website is that they need to be as simple as possible. Focus on user experience. In other words, don’t ask for too much too fast. Too many questions at once could easily scare a customer away if they’re not comfortable with your brand yet.

A common example of a useful interactive form on your website is the “Get a Quote” option. Since pricing is one of the first things your customers will need to look at when deciding which companies to work with, a quote form is a handy tool.

Interactive form example.

Of course, there are plenty of other types of forms you can consider too. For example, you might look into booking forms or forms that allow your customers to sign up for your newsletter. An email sign-up form is great for nurturing that reader who might not be ready to become a buyer straight away. Forms on the bottom of interactive blogs can also keep your readers coming back for more. Here are some form templates that can help you find the right type of form for your interactive marketing campaign.

Making the Most of Interactive Content

There are many interactive marketing methods to choose from. We hope these examples of interactive content got your creative juices flowing. Interactive marketing is a brilliant way to connect with your prospects and give them an immersive experience online. Whether you’re experimenting with interactive blogs or focusing on your social media platforms, you’ll have endless opportunities to delight your customers throughout the customer journey.

In summary, it’s more than just a way to fill your website. Interactive content gives you the right tools to strengthen your bond with your target audience and outshine the competition. If you haven’t started to experiment with it yet, now could be the perfect time to begin.
