Most product tours suck. The onboarding tour is either too long, too generic, or so linear that it treats every user the same, no matter their role, goals, or experience.<\/p>\n

The result? Users click through a few tooltips and drop off before they see any real value.<\/p>\n

The good news? With the right approach (and the right user onboarding software<\/a>), you can build a product tour that adapts to your users.<\/p>\n

In this article, I\u2019ll walk you through how to build better product tours with Userpilot.<\/p>\n

A step-by-step guide to building your product tour<\/h2>\n

In this section, we\u2019re diving into the top four steps you\u2019ll need to take to make your user onboarding process effective!<\/p>\n

Greet new users with welcome screens and collect important user data<\/h3>\n

Since your audience is visiting your product tour for the first time, they\u2019ll ideally want to know more about your product and how you can help them. A welcome screen<\/a>, in this instance, is a super effective way to acquaint yourself with them.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you wish to know your customers better (e.g., their roles, pain points, or product use cases), you can use welcome surveys<\/a> to gather user data. For example, here\u2019s how our customer, Unolo<\/a>, uses welcome surveys to familiarize itself with its audience:<\/p>\n
