Well, one step I've taken so far is installing these too-cool, heat-sensitive stickers that change color when your wee one pees on them into both her potties. They're called, appropriately, Wee Friend stickers and they start out black and change to the object of your choosing (they come in a variety of designs including a star, pig, flower, etc.).
You just stick it to the bottom of any flat-based potty surface and wait for your kid to pee.
Don't be a dimwit like me and try to show your little one how it works using cold water, because it's only activated by the warmth of you-know-what. Poo will do the trick as well, but it's definitely not as fun to look at afterwards.
My daughter peed in her potty for the first time yesterday and was definitely encouraged when I told her that the "magic" star would appear for her.
