eCommerce Quizzes That Convert: 12+ Examples & Ideas

One powerful approach is to offer a quiz that asks a few targeted questions before presenting a personalized selection of product recommendations.

Think of these quizzes as virtual in-store sales assistants - guiding customers toward items that match their needs, style, and personal preferences.

If the idea of adding a product quiz or recommender to your store appeals to you, Joe's latest article for our CommerceGurus blog highlights real-world examples from a range of online retailers.

Some of these implementations work better than others, but exploring them will give you clear insights into how to design product quizzes that improve customer satisfaction and drive sales.

We’ll wrap up by introducing a popular tool that makes it easy to create product quizzes for Shopify and WooCommerce stores.

7 Advanced Welcome Emails from Top eCommerce Brands

Drip’s blog post highlights how great eCommerce brands use welcome emails to build real connections, not just push products.

Instead of one info-packed message, they send a short series where each email has a clear focus, like introducing the brand, showing top products, or sharing values.

These emails often adjust based on what the customer does next, such as making a purchase, so the messaging always feels timely.

What really makes these welcome emails stand out is how personal they feel. Brands share their story and highlight what makes them different.

So it’s less about selling right away and more about building trust from the first click.

Numbers in Larger Fonts are More Persuasive

A recent study featured on ScienceSays shows that in eCommerce, making numbers, like prices, discounts, or product ratings, appear in larger fonts can significantly boost their persuasive power.

Shoppers are more likely to perceive these offers as better or more appealing simply because the numbers stand out visually, even if the actual value doesn’t change.

This subtle design tweak works best when the rest of the messaging isn’t already dominating attention.

In other words, if the brand or product isn’t doing all the heavy lifting, making key numbers larger can help seal the deal.

It’s a simple trick that taps into how our brains process visual cues - and it might just be the easiest conversion boost.

View Transitions: Free WordPress Plugin

The View Transitions WordPress plugin, built by Felix Arntz and the Core Performance Team, enhances user experience by replacing standard full-page reloads with smooth, animated transitions when navigating between URLs.

It leverages the new browser-based View Transitions API, meaning it gracefully degrades for users on unsupported browsers by falling back to regular navigation.

Once activated, the plugin adds a settings panel, allowing site owners to configure the default animation type (fade, slide, swipe, wipe), duration, and element selectors.

It delivers app-like browsing on WordPress sites with zero development hassle. Install, tweak, and your visitors enjoy polished page transitions with fallback for unsupported browsers.
