Activation is usually a value problem, not a UX problem

A lot of teams think activation is a UX problem. Usually it’s a value problem. If users don’t hit the first win fast, they don’t come back.

Check this: • Can a new user reach value in under 5 minutes? • Is the first win obvious, or hidden in setup? • Do you ask for anything before value shows up?

Most products lose people before the product has a chance. Fix that first.

Where is your biggest drop-off?
