Positioning No Code Product Finder / Product Quiz: Owned Assets Paid Media

Utilizing owned assets such as on–site and in-app is critical.  Product finders in each category should be placed directly in the related category’s product feed page. It shouldn’t disturb the selling journey, in contrast it should return the non buying customers to guided buyers.  Completion rates of Poltio guided selling widgets are over %70 and the ROI according to the regular sales funnel is +%60. 

Ex:  Some of our customers show product quizzes / product finders as pop ups to the consumers who don’t take any action for 40 seconds or customers who check out more than 3 products in a specific category. Only this action results in a 2 fold increase in engagement rate and ROI.  

Guided selling is a tool to differentiate from competition, it is no code and embeddable in all digital mediums. So why not use it in different paid channels to maximize ROI and bring first time buyers? It is far more interesting than regular campaigns and brings 4X CTR.

You Can Create Micro Segments With Zero Party Data

With Guides Selling tools such as Product Finders you can collect zero party data and most importantly leverage it effectively. Even though the third party cookies is about to die, first party cookies will still exist and there will still be opportunities for relevant advertising. 

Zero party data is the data that is self identified by the consumer. Collected with consent. It’a direct interaction and builds trust. On the other hand, first party data provides insight into your audience. You can combine the information you get with transactional and behavioral data to provide personalization for a winning marketing campaign.
