Neil & Hiten reached out to our team with a challenge — create a tool that helps Quick Sprout's readers grow their website traffic. We conducted over 120 customer research sessions to develop a product strategy.

Which alerts trigger the desired customer behavior?

In a world full of notifications, how do you get customers to engage with your product? We studied over 120 Quick Sprout customers to understand which alerts inspired them to take action. Our research findings established the direction for a bold product strategy that has been able to cut through the noise — helping Quick Sprout to thrive.

How To Make Engagement Loops Work

Establishing a Sense of Urgency & Excitement 
Look at your phone. We're willing to bet you have dozens of notifications. Which ones do you act on? Which ones do you ignore? Now imagine that someone could get into your head to understand your needs, wants, and desires. This kind of deep research into customer needs and motivations is necessary to craft effective triggers.

Making It Easy for Customers to Succeed
Isn't it frustrating when you know exactly what you want to do, but the software you're using slows you down? Understanding your customers' goals allows you to remove friction from their path. Instead of having your software get in the way, we focus on ways it can help customers succeed faster.

Clarifying & Showcasing Value
Value is what separates your product from the noise. It's the only thing standing between your customers and churn. No, value is not your latest, coolest feature. It's reinforcement of the reason they bought your product in the first place. Clear explanation of value correlates with higher rates of retention.

Motivating Follow Up Actions
Send an alert your customers can't ignore. Creating notifications based on your customers' underlying motivations increases the likelihood that your customers will take the desired action.
