1. Deliver Tailored Pitch to Each Persona
Creating an effective 'Choose Your Own Journey' mechanism on your website can significantly enhance user engagement and lead conversion.
A. Choose Your Own Journey Screen:
Start with a screen that asks for the job title to customize the demo. Create multiple tailored flows for different personas
2. Gated vs. Ungated demo on the home page
Low Commitment Strategy:
Best practices suggest offering an ungated demo – one that does not require filling out a lead form. This approach minimizes barriers to entry, encouraging more users to engage with the demo with little to no commitment.
The solution here is to place the Lead Form at the end of the demo or place a CTA button leading to your Meeting Scheduling Platform
Advantages:
By removing the gate (lead form), you create a more welcoming, less intimidating first interaction for your potential customers. This approach can lead to higher initial engagement and can create a more positive impression of your brand.
3. Strategic Demo Placement for Maximum Engagement
Above the Fold:
This ensures that visitors see the demo option immediately upon arriving at your site, increasing the likelihood of engagement.
Advantages:
Placing the demo above the fold grabs attention quickly and can significantly increase user interaction rates. It's a straightforward approach that works well in capturing the interest of new visitors.
In the Navigation Menu/ Prominent CTA Button in the 1st fold:
Accessibility and Visibility: Integrating the demo link into your website’s navigation menu offers constant visibility and accessibility. This placement ensures that visitors can easily access the demo from any page on your site.
Advantages:
Having the demo in the navigation menu serves as a constant, subtle reminder to visitors. It's a non-intrusive way to keep the demo option in mind, enhancing the likelihood of engagement at any point during their website journey.
4. Demo Structure:
Step 1. Choose Your Own Journey
1-3 questions identifying specific micro demo that will be most relevant
Step 2: Start with a painpoint statement
Expressed in a relevant and 'heart-opening way'. Use the words that your persona would use. Use the video narrative or text guides.
Step 3: Show the last thing first
Show what the result is going to be straight away. The benefit/ value. The best way here is to choose a similar client, with a similar paintpoint- where you have already solved the issue.
Step 4: Explain the benefit and the value
Present a shortest possible process to get to the A-Ha screen. Steer away from explaining every step, rather focus on the the key concept and link back to the benefit
Step 5: Create a summary and include a strong Call To Action
5. Effective CTA Usage in Interactive Demos
Initial CTA:
Place this at the start of the demo. Its aim is to orient the viewer on navigating and engaging with the demo. Encourage immediate interaction, such as leaving comments or questions.
Sharing CTA:
Implement a CTA that encourages users to share the demo. Position it at impactful moments to stimulate a viral effect and broaden your reach.
Concluding CTA:
End with a decisive CTA that gives viewers clear next steps, like exploring more demos, booking a meeting, or learning about specific features. This ensures viewers are actively guided to the next stage of engagement.
