A great user onboarding process will help new users understand your product, how it works, and &#8211; crucially &#8211; how to get maximum value out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s absolutely essential for any company that wants to provide a great user experience &#8211; and it can make the difference between a satisfied customer and a frustrated one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But far too often, onboarding falls short of what customers expect from businesses. In fact,&nbsp;<strong>over 90% of customers<\/strong>&nbsp;feel that the companies they buy from could \u2018<em>do better<\/em>&#8216;&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/customer-onboarding-statistics\">when it comes to onboarding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_62860c44d7237.png?w=1080&#038;quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe it should be easy to start using a new app, product, or service \u2013 not difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When user onboarding is difficult \u2013&nbsp;<em>or simply doesn&#8217;t exist at all &#8211;<\/em> you may click around a little bit and try your best, but there&#8217;s also a huge chance you&#8217;re going to go back to the drawing board and try an alternative. That&#8217;s just human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to new data,&nbsp;<strong>86% of people say they&#8217;d be more likely to stay loyal to a business that&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/customer-onboarding-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>invests in onboarding content<\/strong><\/a> that welcomes and educates them after they&#8217;ve bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/img_62860c455b6a4.png?w=1080&#038;quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_value_of_a_great_user_onboarding_experience\"><\/span>The value of a great user onboarding experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why is good user onboarding important? There are many benefits that come from having a great user onboarding process. When done right, it can result in <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/increase-user-engagement\/\">increased user engagement<\/a>, satisfaction, and conversions. It can also lead to better user retention rates and lower customer churn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-designed user onboarding process can help new customers get the most out of your product or service, and it can also encourage them to keep using it in the long run. By understanding the needs and goals of your users, you can create user onboarding experiences that meets their needs and helps them achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, with that in mind, we&#8217;re going to take a look at some of the best user onboarding examples we could find, to find out why they&#8217;re so great and how you can emulate their success for your own product or service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_of_the_best_user_onboarding_examples\"><\/span><strong>20 of the best user onboarding examples<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_MHA_MacIntyre_Hudson\"><\/span><strong>1.

You can sign up to TikTok in less than 60 seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need to do is enter your date of birth and select an auto-generated username, and you\u2019re in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/img_636be075cbef1.gif?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app prompts new users to upload a video, but that\u2019s as far as the onboarding flow takes them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This hands-off approach won\u2019t work for all businesses, but for <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/what-is-tiktok\/\">fast-paced social media sites like TikTok<\/a> it\u2019s perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Honey\"><\/span><strong>18. Honey&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honey is a free browser extension that aggregates and automatically applies online coupons for <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/best-ecommerce-videos\/\">eCommerce<\/a> sites. So users can shop online as normal and if there\u2019s a coupon code out there Honey will find it and automatically apply it when the customer is checking out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honey was acquired by PayPal in 2020, and has <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2019\/11\/21\/paypal-honey-acquisition-worth-4-billion\/\">17 million active daily users<\/a> and works with 30,000 retailers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon landing on the site, all new users have to do is click \u201cAdd to Chrome\u201d to add the extension to their browser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/img_636be07d28ac9.png?w=1080&#038;quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next part of the user onboarding flow is a 4 step demo that works to teach users exactly how to use the shopping assistant, complete with GIFs:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/img_636be0875d8ad.gif?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This flow is easy to follow and allows new users to click through at their own pace to ensure they fully understand how it works before getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_BarkBox\"><\/span><strong>19. BarkBox<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BarkBox is a monthly subscription service specialising in dog products. The brand has over 2 million subscribers &#8211; that\u2019s a lot of wagging tails!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BarkBox user onboarding flow is friendly and intuitive. To begin, BarkBox prompts users to fill out their dog\u2019s name, gender, size, and breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/img_636be089c4617.gif?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things stand out about this onboarding flow. First, the progression bar at the top is a great way to let users know how far through the process they are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second great thing is that as soon as you enter your dog\u2019s name, the flow is personalised. This is a nice touch and can really encourage people to complete the onboarding flow and convert into a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-value-of-getting-personalization-right-or-wrong-is-multiplying\">a study by McKinsey<\/a>, <strong>71% of people actually <\/strong><strong><em>expect <\/em><\/strong><strong>personalisation<\/strong> and 76% said <strong>personalisation makes them more likely to make a purchase<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Twitter\"><\/span><strong>20. Twitter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitter has almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/11\/7\/23445476\/elon-musk-twitter-user-growth-all-time-high-advertisers\">240 million active users<\/a> &#8211; so that\u2019s a lot of people to onboard! And when it comes to user onboarding this social networking site keeps it simple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signing up for Twitter is a 5 step process. First, users are asked to enter their date of birth, then they can customise the experience when it comes to ads and followers, and following that users can select an automated username or choose one of their own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steps 4 and 5 are all about personalising the experience. Users are invited to select subjects that interest them, such as gaming, food, technology. There\u2019s also the option to drill down even further by selecting specific games, for example \u201cPokemon\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wyzowl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/img_636be08cc29b7.gif?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moving through the 5 step flow, new users are shown some popular accounts they can choose to follow to get started. Then their personalised news feed comes to life in front of their eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a simple yet impressive onboarding flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_the_key_to_a_world_class_onboarding_experience\"><\/span><strong>Video: <strong>the key to a world class onboarding experience<\/strong><\/strong>! ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best user onboarding experiences offer new customers a warm welcome and act as the first step towards converting them into lifelong users of your product, brand or software.&nbsp;It&#8217;s the first &#8211; and perhaps most important &#8211; step in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/user-journey-map\/\">user journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, with&nbsp;<strong>97% of people agreeing the video is an effective tool to welcome and educate new customers<\/strong>, what better way to start than with an&nbsp;onboarding video?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to follow up great user onboarding experiences with comprehensive user testing and tracking of user onboarding metrics &#8211; how does onboarding affect your churn rate and daily active users?
