Goal

Design a product tour that introduces sellers to the all-new Seller Hub experience.

The Challenge

A big mindset shift for sellers.

Seller Hub was redesigned from the ground up, and moving to the new tool was a huge change for existing sellers. Without guidance, first-time users risked feeling lost.

The Approach

A short, seamless guided tour.

I designed a six-step tour that walks first-time users through the key features and selling best practices, supported by welcome and opt-out emails that bring sellers in and invite them back.

The Outcome

Confident sellers and fewer support calls.

Most sellers viewed the tour in just a few minutes, and support calls dropped as sellers found their way around the new Seller Hub on their own.
