But no one ever said it was easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When conversion rate optimization is the goal, striking the balance between great aesthetics, access to information, and seamless navigation is essential. But often it feels like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/product-designers-ux-rulebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one giant tug-of-war<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is when you need to remember the thing you already know: converting users into loyal customers requires understanding their goals and their behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you go even deeper, if you learn to understand the cognitive biases and processes that drive human behavior, you can nudge your users toward the desired action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying behavioral economics principles to your UX can have a profound impact on your conversion rate and customer loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/great-ux-balancing-act\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=inlink&amp;utm_campaign=proceed_ratio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Dive Deeper: Great UX is a Balancing <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 <\/span>Act Here&#8217;s Why<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2>4 behavioral economics principles UX designers should know<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an attractive and seamless user experience on digital platforms is an art <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a science. By looking beyond user goals and into their thought processes, you can become a \u201cchoice architect.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything from the user interface to the content to the flow can be designed to steer users exactly where you hope they\u2019ll go. And, with the help of added digital solutions, you can make guiding them easier than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are four principles of behavioral economics that are invaluable to UX design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>1. Decision paralysis<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a user is faced with too many options, the phenomenon of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behavioraleconomics.com\/resources\/mini-encyclopedia-of-be\/choice-overload\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decision paralysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can set in.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1357057277-1.jpg\" alt=\"user experience\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1357057277-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1357057277-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1357057277-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This occurs on websites or apps that have a cluttered interface \u2014 too many buttons, tabs, images, and text. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are too many things facing your user. Where do they begin? Even if a visitor landed on your page with a certain intention, a crowded interface can be distracting and cause \u201cchoice overload.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decision fatigue, automatically choosing the default option, or deferring a decision altogether are the likely consequences. In other words, bombarding your users with too much information will probably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/bad-ux-cart-abandonment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drive them to leave your page<\/a> in search of something simpler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to avoiding decision paralysis is to mark an easy trail for your user to follow. Creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/4-steps-ideal-user-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user journeys<\/a> based on various customer personas is the first step to achieving this. By completing this step, you will better understand how to meet the goals of your users while promoting your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital tools that use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/ux-design-challenge-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">artificial intelligence<\/a> and automation also help ensure you prevent decision paralysis. For example, say a user lands on your website in search of a specific product. Instead of relying on him to find it, a chatbot could appear and ask what he is looking for. Bypass all of the searching and decision-making and simply take your users to their destination.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>2. Defaults<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to avoid complexity, many people go with the default option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behavioraleconomics.com\/resources\/mini-encyclopedia-of-be\/default-optionsetting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">default<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a predetermined course of action that occurs if the decision-maker (the user) doesn\u2019t actively choose something him or herself. Creating defaults can be an extremely effective way to drive people toward a desired decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in nations where organ donation is the default choice (i.e., people must actively opt out of organ donation), the rates of organ donation <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sparq.stanford.edu\/solutions\/opt-out-policies-increase-organ-donation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are far higher<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the cause is decision paralysis or something else, we know that people don\u2019t always take action. This is a great <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1182270718-1.jpg\" alt=\"user experience best practices\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1182270718-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1182270718-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1182270718-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>UX opportunity \u2014 you have the power to create a default that swiftly steers your user toward the decision you want (to make a purchase, sign up for your newsletter, download a free trial, whatever it may be).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you put a default in practice on your website or app? Digital solutions that use context-sensitive factors to analyze a user\u2019s behavior and intentions are a proven effective method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By analyzing various user factors, such digital solutions can deploy an effective default in the form of tailored pop-ups that take your user straight to the right landing page. After a user is idle for a certain amount of time, the pop-up can appear, removing the need for your user to take action or spend time searching your site.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3>3. Anchoring<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatis.techtarget.com\/definition\/anchoring-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anchoring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a cognitive bias that causes people to focus on the first piece of information they see and use it as a reference point when making decisions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies use it all the time in sales. When a customer sees a T-shirt is $39, they use this initial price as the anchor. When the store puts the shirt on sales for $29, the customer is more likely to see this as a great deal because they are comparing it to the original price, even if they wouldn\u2019t have bought the shirt for $29 in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to keep the notion of anchoring in mind when creating your UX, as the information, pictures, and content your users see first will become anchors in their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your primary goals, the entire interface on your website or app\u2019s home page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/website-user-experience-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">should be designed<\/a> with the most important references to you. Prices for featured products, descriptions, and other information should be chosen wisely and with purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/pages\/ux-2-1-d-instantly-improve\/?eco=ux&amp;adin=behavioral-economics-principles-ux-ll01&amp;land=ux-2-1-d-instantly-improve&amp;pitch=Adoption-Promotion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Create a seamless user experience with WalkMe.

Friction costs<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even seemingly tiny barriers can create significant friction and ultimately prevent someone from completing a task.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1051137005-1.jpg\" alt=\"user design\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1051137005-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1051137005-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_1051137005-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behaviouralinsights.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/BIT-Publication-EAST_FA_WEB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">friction costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d are too high, your users are far less likely to take the desired action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor UX is loaded with friction costs. Interfaces that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/website-user-experience-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">difficult to navigate<\/a> or not intuitive add friction costs. Inaccessible information adds friction. The need to complete lengthy forms or lots of clicks before completing a task adds friction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimizing these hurdles and making the user journey as smooth as possible is the key to achieving a higher conversion rate and satisfying your users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital solutions that take your users by the hand and guide them through processes on your website or app instantly eliminate friction by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/improve-user-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">simplifying their journey<\/a>. Contextual guidance tools assess a user\u2019s behavior and persona details to proactively deploy help prompts and take them through a task step-by-step, from beginning to end.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2>Don\u2019t just be a UX designer<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be a choice architect. By understanding the ways in which humans perceive the context around them, make decisions, and behave in certain ways, you can nudge your users toward the desired action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your UX will be more satisfying to them, and more effective for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-bottom-text-main\"><div class=\"blog-bottom-text-sub\"><p><span><em><strong>WalkMe\u2019s Digital Adoption Platform (DAP)<\/strong> transforms the user experience in today\u2019s overwhelming digital world.
