It introduces the quiz and promotes the benefits of completing it.Alternatively you can just get right to it and display the first question of the quiz. <strong>Pros &amp; Cons of Using a Splash Page<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>A benefit driven Splash Page can help with quiz start and completion rates, because the visitor is reminded of what they get in return for finishing the quiz.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>It adds one more click to your funnel (<em>visitors have to click the \u2018Start the Quiz\u2019 button to continue<\/em>) and each extra step like this adds more possibility for drop off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Starting directly with the first question puts the visitor into question answering mode. This hooks them immediately, rather than asking again if they want to start the quiz.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether or not you use a Splash Page is something you\u2019ll have to decide on using your <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/tkb_item\/overview-of-the-reporting-suite-in-thrive-quiz-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quiz analytics<\/a>. If a lot of people are landing on your quiz page, but few are actually starting or completing the quiz, a Splash Page may help improve your conversions. You\u2019ll see a few cases of Splash Page vs. straight to the questions in the examples below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-36\">The Quiz<\/h3>\n<p>With most quiz building software, you\u2019ll be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/tkb_item\/how-to-add-a-finished-quiz-to-your-web-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">add your quiz to a landing page on your website.<\/a> The whole quiz, including the Splash Page and the results will load within that one landing page, though some quiz builders allow you to send the quiz taker to external Results Pages if you prefer. Building the quiz is the fun part, which is why we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/courses\/how-to-use-quizzes-to-boost-conversions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thrive University course<\/a> to show you how. But we&#8217;ll skip over it here and get to the segmented lead generation steps.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-37\">Opt-in Gate<\/h3>\n<p>Once the quiz taker completes all the questions, you have the option to ask for their email address before delivering the result. This is called an <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/tkb_item\/how-to-use-the-opt-in-gate-in-thrive-quiz-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Opt-in Gate<\/a>. You can choose to make the Opt-in Gate mandatory in order for the quiz taker to see the results, or you can make it optional and skip it altogether. The last two options mean you have to get the quiz taker\u2019s email address another way, usually through an Opt-in offer on the results page \u2014 <em>such as a free guide.<\/em><strong>Pros &amp; Cons of Using a Mandatory Opt-in Gate<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>It\u2019s your best chance of getting the quiz taker\u2019s email address. They\u2019ve just invested over 3 minutes of their time filling out your quiz so the pain of bouncing now \u2014 <em>before seeing their results <\/em>\u2013 will be very high.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Even if your Results Page doesn\u2019t resonate or the quiz taker doesn\u2019t see or click on your offer, it doesn\u2019t matter \u2014 <em>you have their email now!<\/em> Through email, <strong>you\u2019ve opened the doors to multiple opportunities to nurture your lead or present your offer<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>It can seem quite aggressive to the quiz taker to hold the result hostage in exchange for an email address. They may get annoyed at you or your brand for using this method.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While using an Opt-in Gate might have been viewed as aggressive a few years ago, the majority of quizzes on the web now have one. It\u2019s become standard practice in lead generation quizzes, and your visitor is more likely to expect it.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-38\">Results Page<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s time to reveal the results! Depending on your quiz builder tool\u2019s capabilities, you have three options for presenting your quiz results. There are specific reasons why you would use each.<\/p>\n<p>1. Use your quiz builder\u2019s inbuilt Results Pages. You\u2019ll be able to customize each page depending on the result. This feature is called <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/tkb_item\/using-the-dynamic-content-feature-on-your-quiz-results-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dynamic Content<\/a> in Thrive Quiz Builder. Pro&#8217;s include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Quick and easy to set up<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Runs everything within the same page<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2. Redirect your quiz taker to a separate landing page on your site. You\u2019ll have to build your own results page if you choose this option. To do this, just enter the URL you want to send your quiz taker to depending on each result. Pro&#8217;s for this option include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Great if you are tracking through external analytics programs such Google Analytics. You\u2019ll be able to tell how many people got to each of your different results pages and what actions were taken after that.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Send the quiz taker to a generic Thank You Page and tell them to check their inbox for their results. Create an email follow up sequence that send the quiz taker their results.Pro&#8217;s for this strategy are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Ensures your quiz taker doesn\u2019t get their result unless they enter their email correctly<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Gets your new subscriber in the habit of opening your emails<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-1\">Email Follow Up Series<\/h3>\n<p>When the quiz taker enters their email address, you can send a tag to your email service provider with the result they got. With Thrive Quiz Builder, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivethemes.com\/answer-based-tagging-quiz-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">send tags based on their answers to specific questions<\/a>. Use the tag to trigger a results specific automated email follow up sequence. You can use this follow up series to sell your prospect into relevant offers, or to nurture your new subscriber in a very personalized way. By changing the content you send based on the new subscriber\u2019s quiz result, you have an incredible opportunity to send content that really resonates.And there you have it&#8230; a basic funnel for creating your first lead generation quiz. But <strong>how do you choose which elements and variations to use for your quiz?<\/strong>We\u2019re now going to show you five variations of this basic funnel, go through the differences between each and explain what situations each version is most useful for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tab-con-31\">Quiz Funnel 1: Digital Marketer &#8211; Marketing Skills Assessment Quiz<\/h2>\n<p>Digital Marketer is a big name in digital marketing and agency training.

You can get around this by offering a results specific opt-in at the end of the quiz, but not all the quiz takers will take you up on this and also requires the visitor to enter their email address twice.If you do decide to put an Opt-in Gate at the start of your quiz, it\u2019s a good idea to <strong>add a Landing page <em>before <\/em>the quiz to promote the benefits&nbsp;<\/strong>so the visitor has more incentive to continue. That\u2019s one area where Skillcrush could improve. The CTA\u2019s directing the visitor to the quiz don\u2019t have much information on them, and once visitors click, they see a form asking for their email to continue.
