Prose sells the opposite of one-size-fits-all: a quiz builds a formula for your exact hair, so the marketing is really about you, which makes generic competitors feel lazy.

What you can steal from Prose

  • A quiz qualifies buyers and sells personalisation at the same time. Make it the front door.
  • Reframe mass-market rivals as a compromise by making the buyer the subject.
  • Soft call to action ("take the quiz") can beat "buy now" for considered buys.
  • Email the quiz takers who did not buy. That is where the revenue hides.
