A Valentine quiz promotion is a good idea to boos brand engagement. Why? because seasonal marketing is an important approach when looking for effective ways to achieve your marketing objectives.

Strategic and resourceful content is the right way to create and maintain meaningful interactions. But how can you create content that your audience will love?
Today we want to show you how to take advantage of ongoing events – such as Valentine’s Day – and use them to accomplish some of your marketing objectives, with the help of an online Valentine quiz.
How to engage your audience this Valentine’s Day?
One of the hottest trends in social media marketing right now is interactive, gamified content. In other words, people love a quiz, game, puzzle, or challenge. This can only mean that people will also love a Valentine Quiz, puzzle, or challenge. Gamification has become an established trend, and you can now use it to not only promote your brand but also engage your audience. What’s more, a popular holiday such as Valentine’s Day gives you a ready-made and natural theme to work with. Think pink and red highlights, with plenty of hearts, cherubs, flowers, and chocolates. The theme of love is universal, so it’s a festival that everyone can celebrate.
In case you’re wondering if your audience is “romantic enough” to take part in Valentine’s Day promotions, then the answer is yes. A recent study shows that more than half of Americans believe in… soulmates!

Create a Valentine’s Day Quiz to increase engagement
You should always choose the right type of quiz to celebrate The Day of Love. And if you’re looking to collect valuable data about your audience you should go for a Personality Quiz? You can create some simple questions related to romance and love, and then display personalized messages to each participant that completes the quiz!
Start by explaining how the Valentine’s Day Personality Quiz works, as clearly as possible. Don’t forget to describe the prize, so that people have an extra motivation to take part in your promotion. Next, you need to design the quiz itself. Start by choosing how many questions you want to ask. Your Valentine quiz should be long enough to intrigue and challenge users, without demanding too much effort from them. 4 or 5 questions are usually about right.
Users are more likely to maintain engaged if the content they’re exposed to is enjoyable or of good value. This is why you should ensure that you take care of the quiz’s esthetics. This is where you want to edit the text, add your logo, and change the colors.
Boost sales with a Valentine Quiz Product Recommender
Another quiz – very similar to the Personality Quiz – is a Product Recommender. The dynamic is very similar; users answer a series of closed questions and at the end of quiz they view a personalized message. However, this time the message recommends a product based on the answers the users gave to each question. Apart from learning more about your new leads you also get to increase your February sales, as your Valentine’s Day Product Recommender can be a great discount distribution medium.
Take a look at the above example. After answering all the Valentine’s quiz questions, the user sees a short message that can come with a picture, gif, product landing page or discount code – different for every recommended product. Try the Valentine Quiz Product Recommeder DEMO to get a feel of the user experience.
Follow up with your Valentine’s Day Quiz participants
We can never repeat this enough: there is no point collecting leads if you don’t follow up. When someone completes your Valentine quiz, they share a wealth of contact details and customer insights. So don’t waste it!
Make sure you follow up right away via email. You can thank people for trying the quiz, let them know about upcoming events, or even share a bonus prize such as a Valentine’s Day e-card or a discount code.
Following up on leads doesn’t have to be laborious. Use automated and personalized emails so that you can contact everyone personally, without spending hours writing emails. When you create the Valentine Quiz registration form, add an option to sign up for your newsletter, to funnel users into your regular onboarding process.
You can get participants to do some of the work for you, too! That’s right – we’re talking social media. Add follow buttons so that people can connect with you. And encourage people to share their quiz results so that your contest goes viral.
