Should every Shopify store have a product recommendation quiz?

Here's the question: Should every Shopify store have a product recommendation quiz?

It depends, but 90% of the time, the answer is YES! Let's talk about why.

Your products exist to solve your customers' problems

People shop to solve a problem that your product could solve:

• If they pick the right product: Happy customers, more sales, and more word of mouth.
• If they pick the wrong product: Unhappy customers, returns, and less word of mouth.

You want your customers to be happy, and they want to be happy too.

The right product for the right problem

Now, if you have a single product or just a few distinct products, then this is relatively easy.

But what if you have many products? Or even if you have relatively few products that are similar or hard to choose between? Beauty products, supplements, etc., for example.

How do you make sure customers pick the right product every time?

You know your products, but your customers don't. If you rely on yourself or your staff to answer every customer question, you're limited by how many questions you can answer.

It's also likely that most customers don't want to hassle with talking to someone.

That's where product recommendation quizzes help: They ask the right questions and recommend the perfect products to your customers—every time.
