Product walkthroughs have become a major form of content, particularly for product-led companies.

And, for all the good reasons.

• These demos enhance the user experience by providing value upfront.
• The tours offer asynchronous user onboarding for low-touch model
• For the sales team, these demos can lead to up to a 33% increase in sales deal velocity

To help you gain such benefits, we’ve included a list of 10 awesome product walkthrough examples.

Before you jump in, let’s see what goes into building such good demos.

What makes an effective interactive product walkthrough?

A high-converting product tour shows the value upfront with a ‘try it before you buy it’ approach. This increases buyers' confidence and offers them a head start in their buying journey.

After building and analyzing over 5000+ product tours, our team has found what makes a demo stick.

Here are our top findings on creating amazing product tours that save resources and generate qualified leads.

1. Build persona-specific or use case-specific demos

Treat product demos like any other lead generation or conversion asset. Divide users into segments and create demos tailored to common use cases or jobs to be done.

2. Use a mix of different hotspot styles

You typically get three design options when it comes to demo hotspots:

• Blinking pointer style: To specify the element to be clicked, such as an option in the navigation bar
• Callout style: To give a brief overview of a feature or the interface without calling attention to any specific element
• Custom styles: To highlight a specific area and bring focus to a section or large element

Experiment with different hotspot designs to guide users throughout the demo.

3. Avoid lengthy tooltip text

Long blocks of text can overload users with too much information. It’ll make them skim, lose out on key details, or drop off altogether.

But, if a step calls for a detailed explanation, we’ve some workaround for you:

• Add voiceovers to reduce information overload.
• Break down long texts into bullet points.
• Bold, italicize, or underline text for emphasis.

4. Use voiceovers in long product demos

Add AI voiceovers if you have a long interactive product tour involving various descriptive steps.

Voiceover can improve user experience due to the following reasons:

• Caters to different learning styles—some users might retain information through auditory learning rather than text.
• Reduce the cognitive load of reading texts, especially during multi-step demos.
• Add conversational elements keeping users engaged and active throughout.

5. Don’t leave users in the dark. Set expectations upfront

Use the product tour’s cover or introductory page to set expectations. Use this space to

• Write a descriptive and clear title (Write the feature’s name or benefit-oriented copy)
• Highlight how long the demo will take
• Show different chapter links (if it’s a multi-demo showcase) users can jump to.

Here’s an example of how adding all these elements might look. 👇🏼

6. Test the speed and loading time of your demos

Slow loading of UI elements, lagging progress bars, and slow scrolling elements all lead to a bad user experience. So, thoroughly test your demos for any such issues before launching them.

As a web experience thumb rule, demos should load within seconds without lagging.

7. End every demo with a clear call to action

Do not leave engaged users wondering about the next steps.

Add a clear and enticing call to action specifying the next steps. Standard calls to action include ‘book a demo,’ ‘sign up for free,’ or ‘explore the plans.’

You can also resort to soft selling by making CTAs tied to the features showcased. For example, if the product demonstration was about the task management feature, prompt them to check out your template library.

Key use cases of interactive product tours

Whether you want to build landing page assets to attract new sign-ups or solve customer queries through an interactive model, product tours are your best bet.

Build your first product walkthrough with Supademo

Product tours work when you are clear about who will consume the demo and the jobs you want to help them get done.

For example, demos for internal training will follow a different approach than demos for new users. It’s because the goal is different—for internal team members, it might be to train them to become power users of a feature, while for customers, it might be to drive signups. So, the demo length, style, copy, and language all vary.

Product led growth is a strategy that enhances user conversion through personalized experiences seamlessly integrated into the product.

And, no matter what use cases you want to build it for, Supademo can help.

With its free Chrome extension, you can start recording your demos without signing up. The no-code editor further helps you customize the demo style, add CTAs, include conditional branching, and build a well-rounded demo that caters to your target audience.
