Customer Education isn’t just trending, but hugely evolving!
A business trend, none disapproves of!
It’s strange!
You do not need to be an astronaut to fly in an aircraft anymore; nor have an engineering degree to create something. Meaning, all resources are spared out in the internet.
In another part of the planet,
Google for education, a recent interesting platform, brings together useful apps that works for education.
Apple, conducts self paced and other trainings
Whole foods, establishes blogs on natural food products
Burt’s Bee, has a how-to platform to demonstrate product usage
Educating customers = Increasing app usage
When you empower them with the max output of the app, then the feel of succession retains them, more than ever.
People then stay with you, for more success sessions. SAAS providers have already hoped on the trend to create user education materials. Materials like blogs, training videos, use cases, eBooks, and more. After all one pays for it!
Create a complete package with education with these:
LMS, Training, Help and Tips, Use cases and inspirational blogs
