Tailored Experiences and Result Types
Lantern quizzes enable customers to make informed decisions, creating a shopping experience that feels personal and fulfilling. Tailored recommendations help bridge the gap between browsing and purchasing, driving satisfaction and loyalty.
Different result methods impact conversion rates, showcasing the flexibility and customization Lantern provides:
Results Page Composition: On average, top users display 3 product recommendations on the results page. Additionally, 65% of quizzes include a 'View More Results' button, providing customers with further product options and enhancing their browsing experience.
Default Type of Results: This is a straightforward approach where the quiz displays the top matches based on the answers selected. It’s ideal for quick recommendations and is used by 66% of quizzes.
Dynamic Content Blocks: This method offers highly customized content tailored to specific answers or combinations of answers. It’s perfect for delivering in-depth, personalized recommendations, such as skincare routines or multi-step solutions. These blocks provide a unique and engaging experience and are used by approx. 24% of quizzes.
Combination of Both Methods: A hybrid approach that uses both default results and dynamic content blocks to balance simplicity and customization. This method allows for versatile quiz designs and is used by around 10% of quizzes.
Revenue Breakdown by Results Type
If the average monthly revenue across all users is $29,000, the breakdown by result types reveals fascinating insights:
Quizzes using only Dynamic Content Blocks generate an average of $22,371 per month.
Those relying solely on Default Results see a higher average of $25,240 per month.
However, quizzes that combine both methods achieve an impressive $40,076 per month, highlighting the significant revenue potential of leveraging both strategies.
Collecting Valuable Customer Data and Revenue
Quizzes are an exceptional tool for data collection, and Lantern users are reaping the benefits:
Email Collection: On average, each quiz collects 6,353 emails, fueling robust email marketing campaigns and enabling merchants to build highly valuable customer lists.
The average quiz completion rate is 40.93% overall, but there are some nuances depending on quiz structure. Quizzes with an email submission page have a completion rate of 40.33%, while those without see a slightly higher rate of 42.05%. This negligible difference highlights that including an email submission step does not significantly deter quiz takers, underscoring its value for merchants. By collecting emails, merchants can sync invaluable quiz data with tools like Klaviyo to create highly targeted marketing campaigns and follow up on quiz completion results.
When considering to offer the option to skip the e-mail capture page or not there is a significant change in extra monthly revenue, Shopify stores offering the option to skip the e-mail capture page in Lantern Quiz Builder generate $28,614/month, almost double than the ones not offering it with only $14,418 extra monthly revenue.
Revenue Insights: On average, Lantern generates an extra $7,465 in revenue per month for its users, across all variations and setups.
Klaviyo Integration: 63.1% of users integrate with Klaviyo, meaning quiz answers and results sync directly to customer profiles. This integration allows merchants to send automated, highly targeted product recommendation emails and leverage quiz data for customized email marketing campaigns
The result? Top Lantern quiz users integrating with Klaviyo generate $31,977.86 on average each month compared to $24,775.53 for those not using it—an impressive 22.52% more revenue.
Lifetime Revenue Insights: Lantern users achieve extraordinary results that compound to a significant percentage of business revenue over the quiz lifetime:
Lifetime Revenue: Our top earner generated an incredible $6,861,139 through Lantern quizzes.
Top 10 Performance: The top 10 users generated, on average, an additional $2,080,083 in revenue.
Top 10% Average: Stores in the top 10% see an average revenue boost of $1,060,784.
By giving customers more information to make informed decisions and offering tailored product recommendations, quizzes help bridge the gap between interest and purchase. Customers are more likely to find products that fit their specific needs and wants, resulting in higher satisfaction and increased conversions.
