You can acquire all the users you want, but if they&#8217;re not having meaningful interactions with the product, you&#8217;re burning both capital and trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">And from my experience, understanding why user engagement is important starts here: great customer engagement strategies don&#8217;t just nudge users, they guide them to success, reinforce habits, and make the product feel indispensable. An effective engagement strategy to <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/increase-user-engagement\/\">increase user engagement<\/a> shows up in thoughtful onboarding, timely messages, and even how new features are rolled out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">So in this breakdown, I will cover my 11 favorite user engagement strategies, the ones I&#8217;ve implemented, tested, and seen move key metrics in products using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Userpilot&#8217;s engagement platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">1. Replace the &#8220;empty state&#8221; with personalized guidance<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The worst thing a new user can see is a blank dashboard. It is intimidating. It requires them to do work before they see any value. For a long time, I assumed a generic &#8220;Welcome&#8221; modal was enough. It wasn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The strategy that changed the game was implementing a dedicated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/welcome-screen-saas\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">SaaS welcome screen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> that does more than just say hello. I use this screen to collect critical data about the user&#8217;s role and their specific &#8220;Jobs to be Done&#8221; (JTBD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">By asking a simple question like &#8220;What are you here to do today?&#8221;, I can immediately segment based on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/customer-behavior-analysis\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">customer behavior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">. If they say they are a marketer, I don&#8217;t show them developer documentation. I drop them into a flow designed specifically for that target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">This sets the stage for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/personalized-onboarding-for-saas\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">personalized onboarding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">. Instead of a one-size-fits-all tour that 80% of users skip, I can deliver a tailored experience. In <a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/\">Userpilot<\/a>, I can set up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.userpilot.com\/ce-basics\/personalize-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">custom user properties<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> based on these welcome screen responses. This allows me to trigger specific flows that align exactly with what the user told me they wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">This has become a common practice across SaaS, and the more interesting evolution is the AI agent layer being added on top of it. Companies like Airtable now use the data you collect at signup to surface a curated set of templates and workflows that fit your use case, rather than a generic library of hundreds of options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Miro is taking this further with a beta AI agent for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/personalize-user-onboarding-experience\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">personalized onboarding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> that adapts in real time to what you&#8217;re building, rather than asking a set of static intake questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The end goal is the same regardless of the approach: create immediate engagement by getting the user to their &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/aha-moment\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Aha! moment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">&#8221; as quickly as possible, removing friction between their stated goal and the feature that delivers it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">2. Kill the linear product tour<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">I used to inflict 15-step product tours on every new signup. You know the ones: &#8220;Click here,&#8221; then &#8220;Click here,&#8221; then &#8220;Look at this button.&#8221; It was boring. It was passive. And the data showed that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/everybody-hates-product-tours\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">everybody hates product tours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> that force them into a linear path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">A good example of what <\/span><em><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">not<\/span><\/em><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> to do is Baserow. To their credit, they&#8217;ve added an AI assistant, which is genuinely useful. But it\u2019s buried behind a 10-step unskippable product tour that users have to sit through before they can do anything meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">That&#8217;s why I switched to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/app-walkthrough\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">interactive walkthroughs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">. These are different because they wait for the user to act. The second step doesn&#8217;t trigger until the user actually completes the first step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">It forces engagement. If I want them to learn how to create an analysis, the flow pauses until they actually click &#8220;Create New Analysis.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">To make this work technically, I use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.userpilot.com\/in-app-engagement\/flows\/CE\/page-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">page changes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> in my flow settings. If a user needs to navigate to a settings page to complete a task, the flow detects that URL change and triggers the next tooltip automatically. This feels less like a lecture and more like a co-pilot sitting next to them, actively engaging them through the actual work rather than narrating it from a distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The key rule I apply when creating these: the walkthrough should always be built around getting users to do the very task that helps them experience value. Not a tour of the interface, but a guided execution of the outcome they came for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">And keep five steps as the ceiling with every interactive walkthrough, allowing users to skip options at each step. Users who skip are telling you they are annoyed, and forcing them through the flows doesn&#8217;t change their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">But I know building interactive walkthroughs well takes time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">If you find yourself spending hours configuring flows and testing step triggers, we&#8217;re working on simplifying the workflows significantly with our upcoming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Userpilot AI agent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">.

Leverage the &#8220;checklist&#8221; psychology hack<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">There is a psychological itch that humans need to scratch: we hate unfinished tasks. I used this by implementing an onboarding checklist. But not just any checklist. I used a specific psychological trigger called the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/progress-bar-psychology\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Zeigarnik Effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">, which states that people remember interrupted or incomplete tasks better than completed ones, creating a mental pull that encourages users toward finishing what was started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The trick is to give the user a head start. If my checklist has five items, I mark the first one (usually &#8220;Create Account&#8221;) as already completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">When a user opens the app and sees they are already 20% of the way there, they are significantly more likely to finish the rest. I build these using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.userpilot.com\/in-app-engagement\/checklists\/create-checklist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">checklist builder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">. I map key milestones to actual events in the app. For example, the &#8220;Invite a Teammate&#8221; task only checks off when the system detects the invite_sent event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">This connects the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/progress-bar-ui-ux-saas\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">visual progress bar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> directly to meaningful product adoption, including feature usage patterns that show whether users are truly internalizing the product. It is simple, but the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/onboarding-checklist-completion-rate-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">completion rates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> skyrocketed compared to when I just left users to figure out the steps on their own. In effect, a well-built checklist is one of the easiest forms of gamification you can implement: it rewards completing onboarding steps and celebrating user milestones, turning a routine setup task into a rewarding experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">That impact is well-documented. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/attention-insight-userpilot-case-study\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Attention Insight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> used Userpilot&#8217;s checklists as part of a broader onboarding overhaul and achieved a 47% increase in user activation rate. The checklist gave new users a clear path through the product and removed the guesswork that was causing them to drop off before they ever reached the core value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">4. Implement secondary onboarding for feature discovery<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Onboarding doesn&#8217;t stop after the first week. One of my biggest mistakes was assuming that once a user was &#8220;active,&#8221; my job was done. Then I noticed that retention plateaued. Users were sticking around, but they weren&#8217;t growing. They were using the same two features they learned on day one and ignoring the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">I introduced secondary onboarding strategies. This targets specific user groups with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/contextual-onboarding-saas\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">contextual onboarding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> for advanced features. I don&#8217;t show these flows to newbies, it would overwhelm them. I wait until a user has mastered the basics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">The same logic applies to new features, product updates, and even bug fixes. Retention depends on two things working together: continuously delivering value by giving users tools and key features that address customer needs in increasingly better ways, and communicating those improvements effectively. Users can&#8217;t benefit from features they don&#8217;t know exist. Without proper communication, even your best updates go unnoticed and underutilized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.userpilot.com\/users-companies\/segments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">segmentation capabilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">, I analyze user behavior to create a segment of users who have &#8220;Signed Up &gt; 30 Days Ago&#8221; but &#8220;Have Not Used [Advanced Feature],&#8221; signaling low feature usage in that area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">When these users land on a relevant page, I trigger a subtle slideout or hotspot that introduces the feature in context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">This helps drive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/feature-adoption\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">feature adoption<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> among existing users while ensuring customer success by making every improvement reach the users who need it most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/amplemarket-case-study\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Amplemarket<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">, for example, uses Userpilot to spot when someone is around an underused feature and instantly shows targeted walkthroughs to boost engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Awni Shamah, Staff Product Manager at Amplemarket, attributes that lift directly to the timing and context of the in-app guidance: <\/span><em><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">&#8220;Whenever I add a nudge to a new feature, it boosts adoption by 5x, even 10x.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">5. Collect valuable feedback via customer feedback surveys to fix friction<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">You can look at analytics all day, but sometimes you just need to ask the user what is wrong. The problem is that long email surveys have terrible response rates. By the time a user opens their email, they have forgotten the annoyance they felt inside the app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">My winning strategy here was deploying <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/in-app-surveys\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">in-app customer feedback surveys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> immediately after specific interactions. If a user completes a complex workflow, I trigger a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/customer-effort-score-survey\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Customer Effort Score (CES)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> survey to gauge customer satisfaction on that specific task. It is just one question: &#8220;How easy was it to do X?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">I also use these same microsurveys to assess whether the in-app guidance itself is working. After a user completes an interactive walkthrough for a complex feature, I&#8217;ll trigger a one-question survey asking if the guidance helped them understand what to do next. If the answer skews negative, that&#8217;s a signal to revise the flow before it burns more users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">If they rate it poorly, I use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.userpilot.com\/user-feedback\/surveys\/create-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">survey logic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> to immediately ask a follow-up question: &#8220;What stopped you?&#8221; The user feedback is valuable, raw, and immediate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">With this, I found bugs and UX confusion that our QA team never caught because I asked the user right at the moment of frustration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">6. Build the &#8220;resource center&#8221; as a safety net<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">I used to bury our help docs in a separate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/knowledge-base\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">knowledge base<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> that required opening a new tab. Users would hit a roadblock, try to find the help link, get frustrated, and leave. They didn&#8217;t want to leave the app to learn how to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Research consistently backs this up: according to Zendesk, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zendesk.com\/blog\/self-service-support-companies-need-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">69% of customers want to resolve as many issues as possible on their own<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">.

This is an always-on widget that sits in the corner of the screen. I packed it with search functionality that pulls from our knowledge base, but I also added interactive modules. If a user searches for &#8220;How to invite users,&#8221; they don&#8217;t just get an article. They get a launcher that triggers the &#8220;Invite Users&#8221; interactive flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">This concept of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/self-service-support-saas\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">self-service support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> reduced our ticket volume and helped retain users because they could solve their own problems without waiting for a human.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/groupize-gamification-case-study\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Groupize<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> is a good example of this done thoughtfully.

This 30-second walkthrough delivered by a real person, in context, at the exact moment a user needs it, lands completely differently than a bulleted list of steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Some companies take this further by encouraging user-generated content in the form of community-created tutorials, but for most teams, a short internally recorded video is the highest-leverage starting point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Many SaaS companies have figured this out. Clay is a good example: their onboarding uses short video explainers that speak directly to how users interact with their key features. Loom does something similar by embedding product tutorials within the flows that introduce their own features, which also doubles as a subtle demonstration of the product&#8217;s use case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">We have found that video walkthroughs significantly increase the completion rate of complex onboarding tasks compared to text-only guides. The format is simply more forgiving since users can watch without parsing. And the pacing of the explanation reduces the cognitive load that causes people to give up on a task before finishing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">9. Spot opportunities to engage customers with product analytics<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">In-app guidance only works if it&#8217;s paired with the right timing.
