Interactive product demo on website
Embed an ungated, clickable product tour on your marketing site so prospects can experience the product before talking to sales.
Why this can grow a startup
Buyers increasingly self-serve during the research phase and prefer hands-on exploration over watching videos or reading feature lists. Ungated demos get 6% higher engagement than gated ones. Multi-flow demos see 48% higher completion rates. The optimal demo is 5–13 steps with 25–30 words per step, giving prospects just enough to build conviction without overwhelming them.
