Not fun, right? Well, your potential customers think the same way! Most people don&#8217;t want to spill all their secrets in the first chat with a website. That&#8217;s why they often bail out, which is not ideal for generating qualified leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every business needs customers\u2019 info, but rather than annoying them, why not do it the smart way? Enter the hero: progressive profiling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn&#8217;t just a buzzword; it&#8217;s a game-changer! Why? Well, we\u2019ll find it in this blog. However, let\u2019s begin with the definition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Progressive_Profiling\"><\/span><strong>What Is Progressive Profiling?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Progressive profiling is a technique used in marketing automation to gather information about leads in small increments over time. Instead of asking for all the details at once, progressive profiling collects data gradually by prompting visitors with different questions on each visit or interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key advantage? No repetitive questioning. Once a lead provides essential details like email, name, and phone number, they won&#8217;t reencounter the same queries. Instead, on subsequent visits, the focus shifts to different aspects, such as company name, key goals, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method streamlines the <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/lead-nurturing-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lead nurturing<\/a> process by gradually gathering specific data points, ensuring a smoother, more personalized interaction. In essence, progressive profiling allows marketing teams to collect a wealth of information about a lead without overwhelming them with extensive questioning in the initial interaction. It&#8217;s about finesse, ensuring a tailored approach that respects the user&#8217;s time and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Progressive_Profiling_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Does Progressive Profiling Work<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"How Does Progressive Profiling Work\" class=\"wp-image-56996\" style=\"width:642px;height:360px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Progressive-Profiling-Level-Up-Your-Data-Game-Now-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Progressive profiling operates by breaking down the data collection process into smaller, sequential steps. Let&#8217;s understand its working with a scenario.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re surfing through a website, and they want to know a bit about you. Instead of bombarding you with many questions right away, they start with just the basics, like your name and email, when you first visit. As you keep using the site, sometimes they might ask for a bit more info, but it&#8217;s always something new, not stuff you&#8217;ve already told them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the things you share are kept safe, and they use that info to improve your site experience. You might notice that the site seems to know what you like and gives you recommendations that match your interests because of the info you shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the cool part: you&#8217;re always in control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They let you decide if you want to share more details or not. It&#8217;s like having a conversation where you share a bit more about yourself over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Benefits_of_Progressive_Profiling\"><\/span><strong>What Are the Benefits of Progressive Profiling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, progressive profiling has numerous benefits and can greatly enhance the user experience. Here are some key benefits of this technique:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enhanced Customer Trust and Comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/about\/trust-center\/data-privacy-benchmark-study.html#~key-findings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Cisco<\/a>,<strong> 94%<\/strong> of organizations say consumers won\u2019t purchase from them if their data is not adequately protected. With progressive profiling, customers can rest assured that their privacy and personal information are being taken seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allowing them to skip questions and provide only the necessary information, gives them a sense of control over what data they are sharing. This creates a level of trust between the customer and the company, as the customer feels respected and valued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improved Data Collection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Progressive profiling transforms data collection into a smooth, bite-sized process. Instead of bombarding customers with lengthy questionnaires, businesses extract insights gradually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only reduces the burden on customers but also increases the likelihood of them providing accurate and valuable information. By breaking down data collection into smaller pieces, businesses can gather detailed and specific data over time rather than overwhelming customers with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personalized and Strong Customer Bonds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where <a href=\"https:\/\/business.adobe.com\/blog\/basics\/how-to-personalize-content#:~:text=of%20personalized%20content-,What%20is%20personalized%20content%3F,that%20they%20frequently%20engage%20with.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">personalized content<\/a> facilitates repeated purchases in nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-value-of-getting-personalization-right-or-wrong-is-multiplying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">78% of consumers<\/a>, progressive profiling emerges as a hero. It enables businesses to craft tailored experiences for each individual. By delivering content and offers that resonate, engagement skyrockets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/personalization-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Personalized campaigns<\/a> become the secret sauce in <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/demand-generation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demand generation<\/a>, targeting the right audience for increased conversion rates.

Here are some steps you can follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Chart the Customer Journey&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To effectively leverage progressive profiling for data collection, mapping out the customer journey along the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/tofu-mofu-bofu-a-practical-guide-to-the-conversion-funnel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ToFu-MoFu-BoFu<\/a> spectrum is crucial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of the marketing funnel (ToFu), the primary goal is to introduce customers to your brand and initiate interaction. Prioritize gathering basic contact information, encouraging them to join your email list.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/YJozf5tvnYcCMVWwp4Mt45M9Fg5Y0ZXT9t8-zBqTS-NMAtRnm2xcTDgflHiDgR2nBG-GkJ5IDlmGZEz9g73Tm4SrTYBdycoUv2URyInhUGqXjKCTCYGQAmVb6RbuXaZwXsbhLYBC-i16KjzDolmcrtg\" alt=\"ToFu-MoFu-BoFu\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwebpro.com\/tofu-mofu-and-bofu-use-the-right-content-to-optimize-conversion-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In instances where customers may resist providing contact details, consider alternative approaches. For example, inquire about their preferred social media platform and invite them to follow your brand on that platform. This way, you can still keep in touch and engage with them through their preferred channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As customers progress through the marketing funnel (MoFu and BoFu), they delve into more specific inquiries tailored to obtaining information that enables personalized content and offers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who don&#8217;t know about Mofu and BoFu, MoFu is the middle of the funnel, where leads have already shown interest in a company&#8217;s products or services. And BoFu is at the bottom of the funnel, where leads actively consider purchasing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresha.com\/lp\/en\/bt\/hair-salons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hair salon booking<\/a> might require you to inquire about hair length, dye preferences, or hair type.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilize these responses to shape the content and frequency of your campaigns, ensuring more tailored and effective marketing. With correct mapping, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jGibxyv2o6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">achieving customer success<\/a> is easy. This is because you can deliver relevant content to prospects and ensure their journey through the funnel smoothly leads them toward conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Provide a Series of Premium Content&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gating content is a classic strategy but becomes a powerful tool for progressive profiling when implemented strategically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/blog\/gated-content-best-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">gated content<\/a> requires minimal information, often just name and email. Here&#8217;s how Kevin Bloom, Director of Marketing and Digital Marketing Consultant at Hinge, utilizes this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/45OHuSLM08AsDiCqPecYSUPqgACDnQJMqcSXpJhP9zkLeRj-Tp-8qPROWlkBIRIidYl5nmH6r0MxIJxiG6y1eosak-OTkn5t1jCssjbZ6IjAE2VOpLJXmU8ZbLcAN7KxRGKuLoovAbybQSSVSbUPJTQ\" alt=\"Gated content by Hinge\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They began using progressive profiling several years ago and have witnessed significant growth in inbound leads and engagement. Website visitors who download a piece of their <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/using-premium-content-to-attract-b2b-buyers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">premium content <\/a>willingly share their name, email, and industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these visitors seek a second piece of content, the forms present fields for additional information, such as their role and company. This approach allows them to maintain short and less intrusive forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Opt for<strong> Interactive Emails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/interactive-emails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interactive emails<\/a> are a great way to collect data using progressive profiling. Instead of sending out traditional email blasts, try incorporating interactive elements. These elements include surveys, quizzes, polls, clickable hotspots, carousels, forms, CTAs, countdown timers, games, and personalized content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These dynamic features make the email experience more interactive and appealing for users. Consider this exemplary case from Airbnb, showcasing an interactive survey email. The email adeptly communicates the purpose of the questionnaire, expressing a commitment to creating a positive impact in cities worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/LhPBnH-TIHTD06TFEjB_315Mx6UHv16HTOsAKd97E554waPB9IkkyzPMmNAkXozzQyYrgha1IbDdwE_kpDYszOVFRF7BbHmHdv1Ye9SlZy8EVZ6CKpxybPXCTWxCN_h6casHkaZl4w4-5ID5BhbEGT0\" alt=\"Interactive emails by Airbnb\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xola.com\/articles\/8-best-customer-satisfaction-survey-email-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image Source&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By seeking feedback, Airbnb aims to enhance the experience for recipients and make them feel more welcome in their properties. This will also help them gather some data about the recipients&#8217; preferences and interests, allowing them to tailor their future marketing efforts accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Deploy Interactive Quizzes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting and interactive way to collect data is through <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/favorite-21-marketing-quizzes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">marketing quizzes<\/a>. Not only do they provide valuable information about customer&#8217;s preferences and interests, but they also offer an engaging experience for customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create fun and relevant quizzes that align with your brand and products. This will encourage customers to share their answers on social media for added exposure. Additionally, use the results of these quizzes to personalize future interactions with customers based on their specific likes and dislikes. For example, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/quiz-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a quiz<\/a> like this, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/premade.outgrow.us\/ultimate-summer-destination-quiz-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Ultimate Summer Destination Quiz<\/a>.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/xu0iFBrDGvaZU8xSC7OXg3KuX1yRy9w7Tvi7Q8UtVKFDdMTvzMlBg-2xDDgHDjAvheKydBvm7J1vbv87wnaGILTNlQ0_keK8PHRdxkwEhy6zva8OhcLbLK8w6ZBtAdqqsEvjqkCJpH5MI3q45Oj49YA\" alt=\"The Ultimate Summer Destination Quiz\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This quiz can help you collect data on your customer&#8217;s travel preferences, budget, and interests. With this information, you can then target them with <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/personalized-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personalized emails<\/a> or ads promoting vacation packages that align with their answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t sure about creating such quizzes, then <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outgrow<\/a> can help you out. It\u2019s a no-code tool to create <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/interactive-content-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interactive content<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/survey-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surveys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/outgrow-contests-giveaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contests<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/poll-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polls<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/assessments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assessments<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/chatbots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chatbots<\/a>, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Outgrow, you can easily customize and <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/embed-a-quiz-on-your-website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">embed the quiz on your website<\/a> or share it through social media channels. This helps you understand your customers better and <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/increase-customer-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases engagement<\/a> and conversions on your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Create Dynamic Web Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic web forms are a key component of progressive profiling, as they allow for the gradual collection of data over multiple interactions with customers. These <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/form-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forms<\/a> should be designed strategically to ask for new information on each interaction, building upon what was previously gained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when visitors first come to your website, they might share basic info. When they return, you can ask for more details like job title or company size. And <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/create-online-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating online forms<\/a> and embedding them on your website can come in very handy at this point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Collect Data Through Surveys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveys are another effective way to collect valuable data from customers. They can be targeted and customized to gather specific information about a customer&#8217;s needs, preferences, and behaviors. You can use surveys at different <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/service\/customer-journey-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">customer journey stages<\/a> to track their interests and motivations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/how-to-create-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create short and simple surveys<\/a> focusing on specific product or service aspects. For example, you can create a survey like this &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/premade.outgrow.us\/brand-performance-survey-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brand Performance Survey<\/a>&#8220;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/t8U3AswGXuW1OyUfUIkFxeLz0jKVmkDoBxLQH2020SExBkD3yfcoe_2VYeydbHY1XQzfmQq6_lyNAN2AoQETFS6ANa9whdrEfqIzVSB9CbGXVsmOiLo7Wqxdwran9n-wQnPlikEFMtdoiyiOQZO8dzE\" alt=\"Brand Performance Survey\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This survey will help you understand how customers perceive your brand and what improvements they want. Also, surveys can be easily shared on social media platforms, allowing you to reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_for_Progressive_Profiling\"><\/span><strong>Best Practices for Progressive Profiling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, that you know the basic workings of progressive profiling, let\u2019s explore some tips to implement it successfully.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pace Yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine meeting someone new. You wouldn&#8217;t start with personal questions, right? Apply the same principle to progressive profiling. Begin with light, introductory queries to initiate a comfortable and gradual exchange of information. Remember, building trust takes time, so ensure your questions are non-intrusive and respect the user&#8217;s privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Start Broad, Then Get Specific<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the analogy of making a new friend, think of the information you gather as layers. Begin with broad, general questions to establish a foundation. As the relationship grows, gradually delve into more specific details for a richer understanding. This way, you create a nuanced profile that reflects the diverse facets of your customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Align with Customer Lifecycle Stages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognize that your customers are on a journey. Are they just discovering your brand, or are they long-term patrons? Tailor your questions based on their position in the customer lifecycle, ensuring relevance and resonance. By understanding their current needs and expectations, you can tailor your approach to better meet them where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Pick Data Wisely, Like Your Battles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider your data collection as a strategic battle. Instead of bombarding users with numerous questions, choose your inquiries wisely. Opt for data that aligns closely with your objectives, ensuring each piece serves a purpose in your overall strategy. This approach not only streamlines the process for users but also ensures that the data you collect is meaningful and actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Create a Consolidated Customer View<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Envision your customer data as puzzle pieces. The goal is to connect these pieces and form a comprehensive picture. By consolidating information, you gain a holistic view of your customer, enabling more informed decision-making. Regularly update and refine this consolidated view to ensure it remains reflective of the dynamic nature of your customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Use Interactive Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond just collecting data, think of interactive content as a way to make the process enjoyable. Incorporate quizzes or surveys that not only provide valuable insights but also engage users actively. It&#8217;s about turning data collection into an interactive and enjoyable experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider leveraging <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/experiential-marketing-campaigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experiential and gamification<\/a> elements to make the process not only informative but also entertaining, encouraging increased participation. If you want to know how to generate leads via interactive content, then this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wbIdC_aOF8A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> can help you out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Review and Revise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any successful strategy, ongoing assessment, and adaptation are key. Regularly review the data collection process, consider changes in customer preferences, and adjust your approach accordingly. It&#8217;s about staying nimble and responsive to evolving needs. Periodically seek feedback from users on the data collection experience, ensuring that it remains user-friendly and aligns with their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Progressive_Profiling_Examples_and_Use-Cases\"><\/span><strong>Progressive Profiling Examples and Use-Cases<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s delve into some real-world examples and use cases that showcase the versatility of this technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prompting Users Post-Login<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A widely adopted approach involves presenting an optional form to users after they log in, strategically timed a few days post-signup to avoid overwhelming users.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/O2qmNQtAfwQp-OnuXuB-tASeqjUWdn9O7kUqJlOAjBEaUauucMJhSjpto9DIjcXzUUBoj-KGimn1y56Qqgol9NtTkYtYNou79TbEMuKU0TGKYuWeszDFMI8qxSVVTcDTFO5Io8MbXQ9ROd_Cu15oyxE\" alt=\"Atlassian's direct profiling in Jira\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A shining example is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Atlassian&#8217;s<\/a> direct profiling in Jira.

Completing Profiles at Users&#8217; Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Progressive profiling forms are typically optional, minimizing intrusion. An alternative method is to allow users to complete their profiles at their convenience within the account settings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/DL7kSeEovEzG70dq47TFzKYFGNVnqMBmC_mfd6nIELZy6u9yRUrzb2C3peSm128zqJmUWJERzeOZCA1JInaog-D16GXVb4w1HWb0F68NNBQaxQ1RU6fOVuMdH-Iz8uPer2Zz1-HCNdZX7jQeJgI3IZg\" alt=\"Ikea employs indirect progressive profiling\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/in\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ikea<\/a> employs indirect progressive profiling, seamlessly collecting data about customers&#8217; homes\u2014size, characteristics, and details about the occupants.
