The Challenge
In October 2021, florence by mills saw a disconnect between the person transacting on their website and the end-user of the product. Oftentimes, it was a parent or family member buying products for a younger relative instead of someone purchasing for themselves.
The Solution
They presented this challenge to top Gen Z agency electrIQ marketing, who decided to introduce a clear product recommendation path via a quiz to guide both the end consumer and the gift-purchaser throughout their shopping journey.
Quick, Engaging Quiz Experience
To address florence by mills' distinct buyer personas, electrIQ created a multi-purpose, thoughtfully-designed quiz that takes less than 30 seconds for customers to complete! With a wide range of products in skincare, makeup, and hair, it can be overwhelming for customers to find the right product, especially when shopping for someone else. By collecting customers' preferences and gauging their intention through the quiz, florence was able to recommend the right products for each customer.
Deep Klaviyo Integration
Using the Octane AI and Klaviyo integration, electrIQ was able to sync all quiz answers to Klaviyo for deep segmentation and personalization of florence's email and SMS channels. When site visitors take the quiz and provide an opt-in – but don't convert right away – they are immediately entered into a post-quiz flow nurturing them to convert on the recommended products.

With Octane AI's Klaviyo 2.0 integration, florence by mills can now also save the quiz results URL and continually share that with quiz-takers across multiple marketing channels.

The Full Story
“Before Octane AI, florence by mills used a custom solution that didn't allow them to track pivotal analytics such as conversion rate, drop-off rate per question, what product recommendations generated the highest AOV, and other key performance indicators — which makes it virtually impossible to continually improve experiences.”
–Brandon Amoroso, Founder and CEO, electrIQ marketing
