Is a Lack of Gratitude Hurting Your Product Adoption?

Product adoption is driven by user motivation and providing timely gratitude can help. Humans are naturally inclined to stick with what they know, making it crucial to understand the psychology behind this behavior when designing products. Motivation theories such as Instinct theory, Drive Reduction theory, Incentive theory, Arousal theory, Hierarchy of Needs theory, and internal vs external factors can be applied to product adoption. To increase motivation and drive product adoption, consider using dopamine-boosting techniques like thanking and congratulating users.
