Better Onboarding: Successfully Welcome New Users & Keep Them Coming Back
In the latest installment of our Design Conversation Series, we had the privilege of hosting Krystal Higgins, an acclaimed leader on product design and the author of “Better Onboarding.” Krystal enlightened us with her expert strategies for crafting onboarding experiences that captivate and retain users. This event, centered around transforming first-time users into loyal customers through engaging onboarding practices, offered a deep dive into the strategies laid out in her influential book.
Key Topics
- The limitations of front-loaded onboarding instruction and how it can negatively impact engagement and retention
- Strategies for improving onboarding like treating it as a journey over time and reinforcing guidance throughout product use
- The importance of integrating onboarding into core product design rather than separate overlays or flows
- Tactics for understanding user needs like longitudinal research and involving customer support teams
- Opportunities and challenges with AI for onboarding like personalization and avoiding bad design patterns
