FAQs

Completion rate depends on a variety of factors, the offer, the number of questions, and the types of questions asked.

A low offer will result in a lower opt-in rate plus less incentive to finish multiple questions. A solid offer will result in more signups and people more willing to provide more data points.

Questions that ask for personal information like birthday or phone number will reduce completion rates. Phone numbers specifically reduce completion rates by around 25% even when a skip button is on the step.

On the store we do most of our testing on we regularly see 90%+ completion rates when between 4-5 questions are asked in addition to an email address without asking for a phone number.

We can't stress enough that quality of audience will play a role here.

We call them Frictionless Forms because the vast majority of these high intent visitors provide full data as long as you keep the questions to multiple choice and focused on the customer journey.

All of our forms have live data collection, meaning as soon as a step is completed whether through a submit button or selecting an answer to a multiple choice question the data is logged even if someone does not finish all the steps.

This means you do not lose out on collecting any emails if someone drops off beyond the first step. Your email capture rate remains the exact same.

We call this a win-win with 99%+ providing at least one data point.

Until everyone in ecommerce treats tools the same as ad spend...

The way to get buy-in at your company is to lead with a series of questions that make data collection an obvious choice.

First question, what is the subscription to conversion rate from our signup forms?

Most companies don't actively track this rate, instead focused on their signup percentage and the number of signups they get, neither of these matter in the long run, we're only after understanding how many subscribe and how many of those convert.

Second question, do we know why some people that sign up convert and others do not end up purchasing?

Even if you are tracking your subscription to conversion rate it's highly unlikely that there is data being collected that can identify the reasons why some of those that signed up convert vs. others that sign up do not convert.

Third question, do we have any idea why people are signing up at all other than for a discount with the intention of purchasing?

By now you will have established that not only are you not tracking the subscription to conversion rate but there is no qualitative reason why some people are signing up and converting while others are not. Collectively we're lacking the necessary inputs to affirmatively answer why people are signing up.

Then you say, "I heard of a company called Formtoro, using their strategy brands are seeing on average 20% increases in signup rates and 5-10% increase in first time revenue, what's even better is they offer a 30-day free trial with most companies making enough extra revenue to cover an entire year before spending a dollar."

Besides, we're here to help you up with setup and implementation and we don't start your 30-day free trial until you publish your first form, not when you sign up.

Our goal is to make sure you can get up and running, we have a comprehensive archive of courses and step by step instructions to make sure you can get started. If you need additional assistance we do offer 1:1 setup help.

We started with popups as they are the highest intent portion of the journey, these are still our bread and butter. These are the highest impact data collection point.

We also do quizzes, but rather than provide a list of products at the end we advise brands to instead built contextual landing pages telling quiz takers why they selected the products they did for them based on their answers. From our experience far too often the quiz experience seeks to diagnose versus allow discovery within a range of products.

We also do post purchase surveys, this allows us to unify the data across all zero party data collection touchpoints.
