UIE Virtual Seminar Presentation
Designing for Sign-up
Joshua Porter
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: $ 149.00 (includes handout)
It turns out the "if you build it, they will come" approach doesn't work. Even when someone can see your site's value, enticing them to request your newsletter, subscribe to your service, join your community, or take advantage of your offer continues to be a challenge. For long term success, we have to remove obstacles and motivate our visitors to sign up.
Designing for sign-up should be simple, yet it's often the most challenging area of your design. Do it wrong and you'll turn customers away. Do it right and you can build long-lasting relationships with users.
In this 90-minute online presentation, Joshua Porter, author of Designing for the Social Web, shows you why, from a psychological perspective, it's hard to get people to sign up, even when they think what you're offering is valuable. He describes the steps you can use to create the motivation for them to care about your product, using techniques employed by successful sites, such as Netflix, TripIt, and BlinkSale.
You will learn the latest techniques to:
- Create Immediate Engagement - The best encouragement to sign up is to be already engaged, by deferring sign-up until after the user starts using the service.
- Provide Levels of Description - Successful online services tailor their "pitch" depending on the motivation the prospective customer currently has.
- Leverage Social Influence - Nothing convinces someone better to act on something, than discovering that all their peers are doing the same thing.
Joshua Porter is the brains behind the popular design blog, Bokardo.com, and he recently wrote the book Designing for the Social Web.

His expertise on designing social experiences is sought by companies around the world.
You'll want to attend this critically important seminar if your team struggles with enticing your users to take the next step in long-term engagement, whether it's subscribing , purchasing , or joining your offering. If your organization needs to implement a strategy that overcomes the customer's natural resistance and engages them with your products and services, you won't want to miss this presentation.
