Surveys in a marketing context can be more persuasive than ordinary research surveys. When a survey is strategically designed to focus on pains that can be relieved by the brand behind it, the survey can become an engaging and educational marketing vehicle.

Idea 8: Voting

Voting for preferences can be an easy-to-tap motive for visitors. Extending the experience to show how the visitor’s vote compared to the votes of others can further deepen interest and desire. When marketers design the alternatives between which visitors are being asked to vote so they have meaningful tie-ins to marketing strategy and selling propositions, the engagement in voting becomes engagement in the brand.

A conversion path lets a visitor self-segment into one of two buckets. This choice is communicated via a click — not a form. The post choice page is then more specific to the visitor’s interest and more likely to convert their initial engagement into conversion. Conversion paths are mutually beneficial — giving marketers valuable segmentation data tied to the resulting lead record and tied back to the referring source of traffic.

Idea 1: Content Wizard

Rather than showing long list pages of white papers and webinars to wade through, content wizards let participants drill down to their favorite content and provide a more enjoyable and personal user experience. And, as you associate the data collected to the lead record, you can also tie that data back to the referrers that drive the traffic.
