Day 77 / 100 · Launch · Adoption vs awareness

They know about it. Why don’t they use it?

An announcement creates awareness. Adoption only happens when the feature shows up at the moment someone needs it.

Aware

They know it exists.

TRIED

They used it once.

REPEATED

They came back.

HABIT

It's part of how they work.

Not relevant to them

Announced to everyone, useful to a few.

Hard to find

Buried three menus deep.

Value isn't clear

They don't see what's in it for them.

The first try disappointed

One bad experience, and they don't come back.

Announced isn’t adopted.
