Case Study
How ProdPad Gamified Their Free Trial Period To Convert More Leads. Read Below
Data analysis of ProdPad’s users indicated that the standard 30-day trial period was too long, as most decisions were made within the first week.
So, they reduced the trial period to 7 days, and conversions doubled.
However, some users still craved more time.
Instead of simply extending their trial, ProdPad got creative.
They gamified it.
Users could now earn extra trial days by engaging with the features on the platform:
- Adding a Product? +1 day
- Entering your Product vision? +2 days
- Adding an initiative to your roadmap? +2 days
- Adding a description to your roadmap? +2 days
ProdPad then introduced nudges throughout the app to inform you of your real-time progress.
This 'win-win' approach skyrocketed results:
- Trial-to-conversion time doubled again.
- The overall conversion rate tripled again.
Beyond these impressive metrics, it increased valuable user feedback, which fueled continuous improvement.
