High-Impact Adoption Tactics
1. Contextual Discovery
Show feature prompts when users encounter a problem it solves, not randomly. Example: Suggest "Bulk Edit" when they're manually editing multiple items.
2. Progressive Disclosure
Don't overwhelm new users with advanced features. Reveal them as users gain proficiency. Segment by tenure and usage.
3. Social Proof & FOMO
"80% of teams like yours use [Feature]" or "You're one of the last teams not using [Feature]" creates urgency to try.
4. Quick Wins & Templates
Pre-populate features with examples, templates, or sample data. Reduce time-to-value from 20 minutes to 2 minutes.
5. Gamification & Milestones
Celebrate when users hit milestones: "You've used [Feature] 5 times! You're a power user." Creates habit loops.
