If all else fails, read the manual

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:20:23 +0000

Have you ever thought why users call customers support? Mostly users call when they don't get the right answers in accompanying the users' manuals, if there is one along with the product. Large number of manufacturers doesnâ€™t supply a user manual with their products in the first place and some of those who do, do not answers all questions.

Manufacturers and marketing professionals often tend to underestimate importance of a nicely written user manual and they find their way out of selling products without the manual. "Who reads," they reason out.

So, who reads manuals? There are many categories of users. Some new users would get outside help to install a product like setting up a computer. Yes, it is still common particularly with the first time users. Another category would make a call to customers' support and ask for step wise help. Many users tend to buy a product, rip it from the box, plug it in, and turn it on. They do not read the manuals. "If all else fails, read the manual," is what they believe.

There is a large number of users who buy a product, open the box, remove and read the manual, remove the product from the box as per the instructions, install and operate the product per the instructions. It is for this category of users that companies need to supply a well written users' manual that should act as company's representative.

Recommendation; make a useful and worth reading user's manual and save your customers from looking elsewhere for help.

Learning through Manuals

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:35:35 +0000

Users' manuals are needed after initial installation and or operation. One of the requirements in the framework is the User Phase. In this stage users come across newer situation in the use of the product. All of those must be anticipated and documented in users' manuals.

The problem is that only a few manufacturers take the time for this detailed analysis and that is why so many annuals either do not solve user problems or fail because they are too hard to learn and use.

So many users' manuals fall due to the lack of adequate user scenarios. Writers typically create the instruction books from specifications and beta interfaces. They document how a product works, but not why it works. They explain how to perform tasks in an interface, but not when a user might need to do those tasks. They describe user options in abstract or generic terms, but do not help the user decide which option to choose.

Here is one hypothetical example to support the point. The technical writer has done a very good job of explaining the components of the interface, but nothing about how they relate to users' real world problems. The data is described as a developer might understand it, but not in terms of what users need to do with it. As a result, the user guide is essentially useless in teaching what is needed to know to create user training.

Common myth is that user manuals and help are inadequate, that they do not really help people. I think this is the biggest reason why. I see real world examples and domain knowledge as the missing span in most user documentation.

That is why I ask this question: When was the last time you learned a new software tool just by reading the user manual or help?

Read Users Manuals Before You Make a Purchase

admin — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 07:35:41 +0000

Figuring out which hair dryer is best for you, or the person you're giving it to as a present, isn't just a matter of brand, price and color. You need to understand your needs and how you expect to use the hair dryer in order to make sure you buy the right model. Once you figure that out, you should generally buy the most capable hair dryer you can afford, since you'll get the longest life from it and be able to get the best service. There are so many things to consider before each purchase. Knowing which kind of user you or your gift recipients are, will help you make the right decision.

So how you can do that? One way is that you have an access to the actual product you are planning to buy before you buy. That doesn't seem possible as no seller will allow you to use the dryer before you make a purchase. This is neither possible not very practical.

Best thing is that you go through the user manual of the product before making a purchase. Users manual too come along with the products and are not on sale anywhere (I don't know of a place where you can go and buy users manuals alone). But best thing is that more and more marketers and developers are putting their users' manuals and product reviews online (see Techno Station). Users with connected computers can go and explore Techno Station and find users' manuals of the products of interest and get to know what they need. That will help them make informed purchase decisions.

By the way, that is how I purchase my 'Hair Dryers' and everything else I need. How you purchase, Share with us.

Brochures or Users’ Manuals ?

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:40:39 +0000

Mostly the brochures are artistically laid out and presented whereas User’s manuals are like government notifications; life less, color less and totally technical. The brochure gets the bigger share of budget as compared to the manuals. This indicates that most concerns treat potential users so much better than existing users and focus accordingly?

I think this should be other way round. I am not suggesting that marketers should stop making the documents to be given away for free. What I am saying is the focus should change. Users should get much nicer manuals, the way they want to, including online. That will help the potential users to buy and existing users to learn?

Paying more attention and better budget allocation to product manuals and support will help everyone. There is no harm in trying to get new customers for anyone, particularly those who are in the market for short term but those who are here for long term must refashion their focus and invest more User’s manuals.
It is the user’s manuals that can bring loyal users, passionate users, repeat customers and can form the bases of what is called customers relationship.

Here is the simple philosophy: Users manuals will get passionate users who will get others. The better users get at something (through learning from freely available manuals), the better the user experience. The better the user experience, the more likely they are to keep trying to use the same product. Nobody is passionate about something they are stuck with. Helping your users learn is the best way to up the odds they'll become repeat customers.

Creating fabulous User’s manuals might be a far better use of the budget than creating fabulous ads and brochures. If traditional advertising and marketing is becoming less and less effective, why not move all that talent including designers, artists, copywriters and others from before the sale to after the sale?
We suggest, better product manuals be used as promotional material?

Have you ever enjoyed reading a user’s manual ?

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:15:26 +0000

Have you ever enjoyed reading a user's manual? Or you also think user's manuals, like unintelligent army orders and government notifications have to be dull and life less? Not necessarily. When user's manuals are shipped with all the products every time they are sold, they need to be interesting an engaging in addition to informative and meaningful.

Manuals that are merely a translation of engineering jargon into a human language may explain specifications but are a bad read. The problem with these types of manuals is that they may explain every feature in depth but will not provide any reason and or motivation to why use those features.

How can that be done? Ask gifted writers to follow the principles of manual design and write putting life in them in the process of writing.

Users now understand the motivation for the features, as well of the value of the features. Their minds have become fertile ground for the explanation of how to use the feature (imagine the amount of awareness web is creating and the resulting choices users have). So manuals need
to give users motivation to use a particular product for some of its features that meet user's unique requirements.

Manuals must be introspective. They must cover the experiences. They must be written down and presented so that their readers don't have to go through the any struggle. That is the very essence of useful manuals.

Additionally, manuals need to cover the tasks, not just the operation. The depth and extent of the task that must be presented will depend on a number of factors, including the expected knowledge (and don't underestimate that) of the users and the amount of knowledge necessary for people to be able to use the application.

Last but not the least; make manual an enjoyable and engaging read.

Where to get Users’ Manuals From

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:21:24 +0000

A blogger (www.peterme.com) recently purchased an original Macintosh 128K User Manual from 1984 and published some pictures from it and wrote a great post. He says, "I recently purchased an original Macintosh User Manual (thanks eBay!). I had seen one at a garage sale, and was struck by how it had to explain a total paradigm shift in interacting with computers. I figured I could learn something about helping make innovation happen. It's been an intriguing read. It's a remarkably handsome manual, beautifully typeset, which, considering par for the course at the time was probably Courier with few illustrations, is saying something. Also, even back in 1984, there was no definite article. You get phrases like "With Macintosh, you're in charge." No "the"s or "a"s. One of the more striking things was how every Chapter is introduced with a full-color photo of Macintosh being used. (See the pictures at www.peterme.com).

Given my own interest in Users' Manuals, their availability and utility, I figured out two things from the post: First, old users' manual are getting scare and may not be available anywhere if not saved online. Second, there is no where one can go and buy a user's manual before buying a products. Where you go when you need to buy manual of Nokia E71 or Samsung i900 Omnia? Where will their manuals be available after launch of their newer versions? Which is why it makes a lot of sense to make users' manual available online?
