Quiz-Funnel CRO Programme for a DTC Cosmetics Brand
Let's Connect
Problem
Shade uncertainty stalling checkout
A DTC cosmetics brand converted under 1% of site visitors. Shoppers could not judge foundation and concealer shades from swatch photos, so most abandoned before adding to basket, and shade mistakes sent nearly a quarter of foundation orders back as returns. Paid traffic kept rising in cost while the funnel quietly leaked at the same decision point.
Solution
Guided shade-match quiz funnel
We ran a five-month CRO programme centred on a guided shade-match quiz: photography-calibrated undertone questions, a recommendation engine mapping answers to shades, and a redesigned product page carrying the match through to checkout. Every change shipped behind sequential A/B tests with holdout traffic, while session recordings and funnel analytics steered each iteration of the flow.
Measurable Impact
