I’m a big fan of mobile games.

I’m a bigger fan of paid mobile games that can be downloaded for free and the purchase is made after a demo.

And I’ve never ever paid for a game before trying it.

That’s why I never played Minecraft…

Moral of the story: understanding the importance of product demos is not like discovering a new coding language. It’s simple and straightforward.

And people better understand facts when they are presented with examples.

So here I gathered the best 16 product demos for you to understand better and draw your path clearly.

But before, let’s see what product demos are:

What is a Product Demo?

A product demo or a product demonstration is a presentation of what your product is and how it mainly works. The product demo will be the first impression of your product. Therefore, the demo plays as the opening speech and determines how many of the listeners will sleep.

There are multiple versions of product demos.

👉 One-on-one demos are real-time demonstrations. A person from the support, sales, or product teams meets the user/customer face-to-face or in an online meeting, and performs a live demonstration.

Live demonstrations usually take too much time, effort, and durability (since it’s not easy to do the same thing over and over again), and since it requires more workforce, it comes across costly.

👉 Video demos are recordings of a person doing the demonstration. Video demonstrations require less work than one-on-one demos, and are the preference of 65% of users on the internet.

👉 Interactive demos are real-time demonstrations, but not made by a person. The product walkthrough takes the user through the whole process and helps them complete the demo on their own.

What is the purpose of a product demo?

The primary purpose of the product demo is to demonstrate the value of your product, while also educating the user.

On the other hand, a product demo can serve many different purposes.

It can be used to show off your new, innovative features and help the user learn more about how they work.

A good demo will also demonstrate just how simple using your product is.

For instance, a robotic person only shows you how to get to the homepage using the „homepage” button, while a good product demo can help you understand how to save your work before you decide to go to the homepage.
