Use a Mini Quiz on your Display

​

What is a Mini Quiz?

A Mini Quiz is an element that you can add to your Privy sign up displays; it’s a sleek way to make your displays more interactive and to gather invaluable information from your contacts at sign up. They tend to be most effective when used as the first step in a sign up display, followed by collecting email and/or phone number. The Mini Quiz journey doesn’t stop at sign up either — you can put this information to work by using it to segment your list and send personalized messaging to your audience!

​

Use Cases

The nice thing about Mini Quizzes is that they can fit a variety of use cases, depending on your brand, what you sell, and who you’re selling to. Here’s some of our favorite ways that Mini Quizzes can be used:

​

Add a Mini Quiz to your display

Privy has a few different Templates that include mini quizzes for you to customize. You can choose one of these templates, or add a mini quiz to an existing draft or display.

To add a mini quiz to a display:

• Head to Convert > All Displays.

• Select an existing display, or Create New Display.

• Click Add Step at the bottom of the display builder and select Mini Quiz from the menu.

Make sure that you have your Mini Quiz step in the correct place. If you need to reorder the steps of your display, simply drag and drop your steps as shown below:

​

Customize your Mini Quiz

To edit your Mini Quiz, click directly on your Mini Quiz element. All of its settings will appear on the right side of the editor.

Under the Mini Quiz settings, you will be able to specify:

You’ll also be able to customize the quiz’s style, text appearance, and block padding in the tabs on the right side of the editor as well. Make sure you Save your changes.

Once you’re happy with your display’s design and you’ve adjusted its settings & targeting, you can select Activate and your display will be live:

​

Using your Mini Quiz data

Once you’ve launched a display with a Mini Quiz and have started collecting answers from your sign ups, you can start building your Custom Segment(s).

To build a segment with your Mini Quiz custom fields:

• Head to Contacts > Segments and click Create Segment in the upper right.

• Give your segment a name.

• Go to choose your category for the segment, and select Custom Field from the dropdown menu.

• In the following dropdown, search for and select the Property Name that you chose for your Mini Quiz.

• Select “text” and “begins with” from the following dropdowns.

• Finally, type in the value of the Option you’d like to segment by.

Add any other condition(s) if desired, then click Create to make your segment!

This segment will be dynamic, which means that new contacts will be added automatically as they sign up and meet the conditions you set.

​

Best Practices

Depending on your use case, it may be smart to add a Purchase History condition to your segment to pair with your Mini Quiz data. For example, if you’re asking whether they prefer Gold or Silver jewelry, you might want to create a segment of people who answered “Gold” on your Mini Quiz along with anyone who has purchased from your Gold collections before.

​

Engaging with your Mini Quiz segment

The information you collect through your Mini Quiz can be invaluable in targeting your messaging. The more you know about your audience, the more equipped you are to send them content that you know they’ll find interesting. This can work wonders for your engagement metrics, and it increases the likelihood that you’ll secure an order.

Consider targeting your Mini Quiz segment(s) with the following campaigns:

• New product launches that align with their preferences

• Promotions on specific items that align with their preferences

• Newsletter / lifestyle content that speaks to who they are

• Product spotlights that align with their preferences

• Super exclusive flash deals

…and be sure to use specific language that resonates with the information you’ve collected from them!
