Are there Specific Features That Increase Engagement and Conversion?

“How can I increase engagement and conversion from my interactive demo?”

We hear this question all the time from our users. Everyone wants their interactive demos to be the best, but not all demos are created equal. Some just have that magic touch.

Here's what makes the difference:

Key Metrics to Watch

Play rate: The percentage of viewers who interact with the demo.

Completion rate: The percentage of viewers who finish the demo.

Click-through rate: The percentage of viewers who click on the CTAs in the demo. These include the custom CTAs in the demo, or the watermark.

What’s Better About High-Performing Demos?

The top 5% of interactive demos have a 1.6x higher engagement rate and a 4.1x click-through rate compared to the top 25%. So, what sets these demos apart?

Tone and Structure

These demos typically have 10-15 steps, with personalized but concise text. They use a friendly, second-person tone, speaking directly to the viewer with “you.”

Intro and Ending

Start with a warm “Welcome” and end with a CTA page that redirects the user to your website or Calendly. Simple, but effective.

CTAs and Promotion

Add CTAs throughout your demo. Use them to link to other demos or external links like “Book a demo” or “Sign up.” And don’t forget appealing watermarks so viewers know where to go next.

What to Include in Your Demos

By integrating specific features, you can significantly boost the effectiveness of your demos. Let’s dive into the key features that really make a difference.

Personalization

Personalization is a game-changer. Tailored demos see an average engagement increase of 20%. Use variables to customize the demo for each prospect. A demo that adapts to each viewer’s preferences is more engaging.

Interactive Elements

Demos with clickable hotspots, descriptive text, and embedded CTAs achieve 50% higher engagement rates than static ones.

These elements keep viewers’ attention and encourage interaction.

User-Friendly Navigation

Enable progress indicators and let viewers easily access the next and previous steps. Smooth navigation ensures they can follow the demo without frustration.

Clear and Compelling CTAs

Good CTAs can enhance conversion rates by up to 80%. They turn passive browsers into active users who take the next step.

Engaging Visuals and Design

Who doesn’t like pretty things? Consistent branding and a clean layout not only make your demo memorable but also lead to a 25% higher engagement rate.

Step-by-Step Guidance

Step-by-step guidance helps users understand the demo, reducing drop-off rates by 20%. Clear instructions and helpful tooltips make the journey smoother.
