When I think of user onboarding, I am always reminded of the famous ‘IKEA effect’. Those of you have endured the emotional rollercoaster that comes with assembling an IKEA wardrobe or nightstand, you might already have an idea of where I’m going with this. The IKEA effect is defined as the effect ‘where you assign more value to products that you’ve had a hand in creating’. In other words, for many of us the result is far more satisfying when we’ve successfully completed a task on our own. Those who have studied this effect even go as far as to say that ‘people become more attached simply because of their own efforts’. This is a good analogy when it comes to understanding the value of a good (better yet, successful) user onboarding process.

User onboarding is the period in which your business is likely to receive the most feedback and support questions from your customers as they want to get started using the product. This makes onboarding an ideal moment to learn from your customers and use those learnings to improve.
