Sensory Tool Finder — Concept

Concept · Sensory Tool Finder Quiz

Find your tool in under a minute.

A warm, guided quiz that takes the overwhelm out of shopping for sensory tools. A few gentle questions, and the visitor walks away matched to the right collection — plus one to three hand-picked tools to start with.

Prepared by Simply Edit Pro · for Sensory Tool House

Why it exists

Shopping for sensory tools is overwhelming.

A new customer lands on the site, doesn't know the vocabulary, and is scared of buying the wrong thing. Hundreds of products, no obvious starting point. That hesitation is where sales — and more importantly, support — quietly slip away.

The Tool Finder turns that overwhelm into a short, affirming conversation. It meets people where they are, in plain language, and hands them a confident place to start. No diagnosis, no jargon, no shame — just "here's what might help, and here's where to begin."

How it works

Three steps, no dead ends.

01

Answer a few questions

Six gentle questions about who it's for and what feels good. Under a minute.

02

Get matched to a collection

Answers point to one of your existing collections — no new catalog to maintain.

03

Leave with 1–3 starter tools

Plus a hand-picked starter trio you and Kelsey choose once. Real expertise, not an algorithm.

The question flow

Six questions, calibrated to feel light.

Every question has an "I'm not sure" answer that routes to the gentlest match — so no one ever gets stuck.

Your match label is a draft

Big Hug Energy

Explore Compression & Deep Pressure

Deep, grounding pressure that helps the nervous system feel safe and settled.

The feel

Gamified, the calm way.

Dopamine hits, yes — but Sensory Tool House dopamine. Warm and slow, never slot-machine loud. Designed to feel good for the exact nervous systems we're serving.

🌊

Soft motion

Gentle fades and settles, 150–250ms. No shakes, no pops, no surprise sounds.

📈

Visible progress

A quiet fill-bar and "almost there" cues keep momentum without pressure.

🎉

A real payoff

The result reveal is the moment — match label, collection, and tools fanning in one by one.

Accessible by default

Honors reduced-motion settings, big tap targets, readable type, no autoplay anything.

Where it lives

Built to drop into Shopify.

Same calm, hostable architecture as the Instagram feed — a Liquid section plus a single settings file. No backend, no monthly cost.

Its own page

A shareable URL like /pages/find-your-tool — perfect for social, email, and Lauren's signature. The full experience.

A homepage widget

A gentle teaser on the home page — "Not sure where to start? Take the quiz →" — that opens the same experience. Same code, built once.

What we need from you

One input makes all of this work.

For V1 we're keeping it simple — no tagging hundreds of products. Instead, you and Kelsey pick the 2–3 "best first tools" inside 10 priority collections. Flagship items that stay in stock. Those become the specific tools the quiz recommends. It captures your real expertise, and it's a one-time, ~30-minute exercise.

And a few things worth deciding together while we're here:

01
Match labels. Lighthearted and affirming — like "Big Hug Energy" above. We'll workshop the real ones together once we see the starter products. Do they feel right, or too playful?
02
The 10 collections. Compression, Swings, Fidget Fun, Wiggle While You Sit, Oral Motor Chews, Teen & Adult Chewelry, Ear Protection, Weighted Blankets, Social Emotional, and Lights. Any you'd swap for V1?
03
Page, widget, or both. Standalone page first, then a homepage teaser? Or lead with one?

Nothing's built yet — this is the map. Once we align, the real thing comes together fast.
