Marketing for Digital Report

Created Aug 24, 2009

1

What will you do?

Try different marketing ideas to promote the digital report. Starting with blog entry.

2

How will you test your idea and measure success?

Observe traffic to see what draws traffic and buyers.

3

How will you know you are done?

This will probably be on-going. But if someone says "hey this really helped my company" I will feel like I did my job.

4

How will you enjoy the journey?

Its both exciting and nerve wracking to write my first document.
I hope this document helps people and they feel it is of value.
Even though I am anxious about doing something totally new, I will be proud of myself of stepping outside my comfort zone to create a project that was of my own interest.

Comments & Observations

Brock Tice So perhaps I didn't understand what I read about the document, but what differentiates it from, say, "Don't Make Me Think", which is just over half the cost?

Liza Cunningham Hi Brock, that's a good question. "Don't Make Me Think" is a book about user experience design and how companies should adjust their thinking about their site content to fit the user's needs. This is all standard industry stuff and been written about quiet a lot. In the report I want to educate companies on design processes and give them a perspective that can save them time and money. So its about teaching the perspective and knowing what to ask for so you get the results you need. But I am interested that you were unsure of the value proposition of the report and that it compared to a book. So that is a good indicator that the marketing copy needs more thought and/or the price needs more thought.

Liza Cunningham I am going to change the price point to $27 and track how this performs with a strike-through. I am curious to see what happens.

Liza Cunningham I am going to change the price point to $27 and track how this performs. I will try a strike through along with changing the marketing copy to say: "Introductory Offer, with a price strike-through. I am curious to see what happens. If the sales remain the same or drop relative to the traffic, this will tell me the value proposition needs work.

Matthew Cornell I'm glad you're changing one variable at a time, price in this case. We can also do an A/B comparison with two prices, same ads.
