Solution
Mobile app onboarding built with Rover
In the age of connected and digitally savvy fans, cultivating an engaging and data-driven mobile strategy is more important than ever before. From mobile ticketing to stadium navigation, score updates to exclusive content, fun contests to sweepstakes, a mobile app is a must-have tool for any team wanting to enhance engagement with their fans.
First-time mobile app users are often unaware of all the features and utilities an app can provide. That is why creating an informative and easy-to-digest onboarding helps to ensure every user understands the app’s benefits and gets the most out of their mobile experience.
Project Overview
The Atlanta Falcons were looking for a way to engage new app visitors, convert them into regular users, announce new app features and increase user retention. They made it possible with a dynamic mobile app onboarding built with Rover.
The Experience
The Falcons' onboarding experience loads instantly when the app is opened for the first time, providing a helpful tutorial of what users can expect from the app in an engaging way.
With an overview of the most commonly used features like accessing and managing tickets, reviews, and stadium maps, every user can learn how to navigate the app in under 1 minute. Taking it one step further, the Falcons included GIF animations to showcase 'how-to's' visually.
On top of that, they have a dedicated team continuously creating strong content, ensuring that fans keep visiting the app, delivering value, and maintaining high retention and engagement.
