Do you find having a interactive demo useful with launches?

Question

We're working on an upcoming launch and I'm weighing the effort of creating an interactive demo (via Arcade) to support the launch here on Product Hunt. Do you find them useful when looking at new launches? Have you created one?

Feels like its competing a bit with video

Answer

Things must be user friendly.

Hasan Mahmood · Answer

Interactive demos are really useful they let people try out a product and see how it works. They show the features and value better than just reading about them. If you can, making one for your launch could be a great idea!

Yes.
Also, your users in general will benefit from a demo video. So, nothing to lose there by having a video. And potentially a lot to gain.

Aymen Yaqoob · Answer

Yes, they’re very useful. They help users understand the product better. If you can, make one!

I think that an interactive demo can really help users understand the product better, I do this for my product ConnectGenie on Linkedin all the time. Hopefully will do the same for our launch as well

Hibba Shahid · Answer

Absolutely! An interactive demo can be useful for launches. It allows users to experience the product firsthand, understand its features and benefits, and see how it can meet their needs

Answer

Interactive demos are definitely helpful for engaging potential users on PH. We created a simple Arcade demo for our last launch and saw a noticeable boost in trial signups. The key is keeping the demo focused on your core functionality so people can quickly grasp your product's value. I'd say it's worth the effort, especially if you have a more complex product that's hard to fully capture with just screenshots and a description.

Definitely find interactive demos useful for PH launches! People want to quickly see the UX and get a feel for the product. Arcade makes it pretty easy. Used it for my last launch and saw solid engagement. Worth the effort IMO if you can swing it.

Yes that will help.

@kostyabolsh our video is pretty commercial-y and so I’m hoping they compliment vs compete
