They're more than just those silly Disney character quizzes that kids take to procrastinate.
The rapid adoption of quiz funnels is just one more example of how if you're not innovating and experimenting with new marketing methods, then you're falling behind.
This article is just the quick first part of a more extended discussion about quiz funnels, but we all have to start somewhere.
So let's take a quick dive into it.
HOW DOES A QUIZ FUNNEL WORK?
We talked with Abem Digital about how a company's website is just one part of its online presence.
Instead, a website should be a final value proposition and social media, quiz funnels, blog articles, podcasts, paid advertisements, etc. bring customers to your value proposition.

IS MARKETING QUIZ A SURVEY?
Uh. No. But I thought the same thing.
My skepticism vanished when I saw how quiz funnels accomplish multiple goals at once.
It really is a marketing tool with a little downside because a business can gain a lot even without converting on the sale.
Quiz Funnels are nothing like a survey for a few reasons:
1. Surveys are boring and inherently benefit the surveyor more than the surveyee;
2. (That's why) nobody ever sold a product after asking them to complete a survey first;
3. And quiz funnels work because they promise value before a value proposition or sales pitch.
CAN QUIZ FUNNELS WORK FOR RIAS AND BDS?
There isn't a product or service that can't be marketed better with a quiz funnel.
It works because customers in every industry tend to be innately curious.
After all, they're all human. In my research, though, I found that financial advisory firms are not using quiz funnels. Charles Schwab Everyone loves to learn more about their personality and preferences. An effective quiz funnel hooks potential customers because of this promise: self-discovery. A business then learns about its customers and can use the data to tune future marketing campaigns finely.
