Intro

So you are ready to create your first Product Recommendation Quiz.

The most successful quizzes have two things in common. They are short and they are informative. You do not need a long questionnaire to turn a browser into a customer.

Objective: Say you run a cosmetics shop with a selection of cleansers for different skin types. This tutorial builds a short quiz that helps a customer choose the best cleanser.
