How to Market To Happy & Sad Customers
Most of the time I buy whiskey, I'm happy, celebrating, I'm buying to have a good night with friends or to mark a milestone. But on rare occasions... I buy whiskey when I'm sad, angry, frustrated, stress, I buy it as a coping mechanism... Now that's not good, and it's been a long time since I've done it so don't worry about me, lol... but it exposes a flaw in the way that most of the industry is talking about customer personas. How can one buyer (Me) have two completely opposite mindsets (happy or angry), that lead me to...

$75k from one campaign? In this economy?
I've been at a brand where an average SMS campaign would do $8k in revenue. Then we sent one that did $40k in 30 minutes. I've ran an email account that made $6k on a normal daily email campaign. Then we sent one that did $75k in 24 hours. And no, those campaigns weren't sent on black friday, they weren't even sent in Q4. In this episode, I show you how you can take a moment that your customers care about, or can relate to, bring them into your world to experience it with you, and have a day that makes...

Don't Build A Brand, Develop Personality
We need to throw out the word "brand" I think our simple, performance-marketer brains completely crumble when we try to think about building a "brand." It's abstract, it sounds antithetical to performance & growth, and it leads marketers into a lot of bad behavior Instead, you should be trying to build PERSONALITY into your company. A personality that is capable of showing up in the right context, to each persona you're trying to sell to. Think about your own personality. You show up differently to saturday night dinner with friends than you to do sunday afternoon lunch with your in...

Discounts Are Like Binge Drinking
Discounts are like binge drinking - Lots of fun in the short term (big revenue boost) - Leads to bad behavior (hacky marketing) - Creates shallow, meaningless relationships (low LTV customers) - Terrible Hangovers (awful performance after the sale) - It's more acceptable to do around major holidays (if you're doing it august I assume your life & business are not going well) ...But a great offer is like sharing a pour of Kentucky's finest bourbon.

What micro decisions do they need to make along the way before they make the final purchase decision?

None of you should be copying & pasting the same exact tactics that 9-figure brands use in their marketing to your 6-, 7-, or even 8-figure/yr brands.
