What are interactive product demos?
Interactive product demos are step-by-step demonstrations of a product or feature. They offer an immersive experience with a self-paced walkthrough of a product's features and use cases – without forcing viewers to sign up, book a discovery call, or enter their credit card.
When used within marketing use cases, interactive product demos are akin to a "virtual showroom" of your product's features. You are inviting users to try your software without the friction of commitment, hence building initial trust and rapport with prospective customers.
But how do you make the best of these demos to increase signups and top-of-the-funnel traffic? Let's find out with the examples we have collected.
How we picked this list of interactive demo examples
When choosing interactive demo examples for this article, we analyzed each demo based on the following factors:
- Flow of information: How well connected is each step to the next? Does the demo deliver the intended message? Is the message concise and clear?

- Design and copy: How are brand guidelines reflected in the demo and how is the demo personalized for the intended persona?
- Call to action: Does the demo end with a clear and relevant CTA?
