    <title>You’re nowt but a policy bateleur - Artefact 248 • Buttondown</title>
    <dc:date>2025-05-03T18:43:08+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://buttondown.com/artefacts/archive/artefact-248/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Bateleur was “the itinerant street performer, his folding table strewn with trickster’s tools, entertained crowds in market squares and fairgrounds from the middle ages through the eighteenth century. Cups-and-balls, the world’s oldest magic trick, doubled as a shell game where dupes laid down their money to guess which cup was hiding the ball.”

You can imagine them already, can’t you? And how long they have probably practiced tricks, rehearsed their spiel, worked on the act to travel from town to town.

Then, something changes. In the 19th century, occultists start to present the bateleur in Tarot as an actual magician, controlling some deep and mysterious powers. This continued into the twentieth century, as Anglo-American Tarot presents the Magician manipulating the elemental forces embodied in the Tarot suit symbols. The magic is presented as a real thing; the resulting power dynamics shift wildly.

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Companies marketing technology products and services wield enormous influence over our understanding of things. Marketing can lean into complexity to obscure the challenging aspects of these products or smooth out any rough edges through oversimplification, and the designers of marketing materials play a key role in this process. It isn’t always with ill intent. As a profession, marketing relies on myths to help us understand these technologies, and myths animate how designers imagine these systems.

There’s a competing set of interests at play: New technologies need simple metaphors to thrive, but simple metaphors aim to reduce complexity. Meanwhile, corporate boardrooms and founders believe in (or at least invest in) compelling myths and reward communications specialists for reinforcing these myths amongst consumers.

Given their origins, these myths inevitably skew to the techno side of techno-social equilibrium. They pollinate the social imagination with metaphors that lead to conclusions, and those conclusions shape a collective understanding. But if we want a socially oriented future for technology, we need myths that animate the social imagination of technology rather than overwrite it.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>The cultural critic Henry Giroux, author of The Mouse that Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence (1999), believes that Disney is a “teaching machine” that articulates “strategies of escapism and consumerism that reinforce an infantilised and utterly privatised notion of citizenship”. Disney films, by and large, are not about shared responsibilities, the social contract, human rights struggles, democracy, protests, boycotts or the evils of shopping too much. “Disney cultivates a kind of agency that fits into its market plan,” Giroux tells me. When the company does tackle social issues, it often favours tales of hyper-individualistic heroism over collective action. “Saving people always comes in the form of superhuman powers.”</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Very crudely, your ads will have one of two objectives – conversion or awareness.

Conversion means that you want people to click on your ad and then do something like sign up for your product. You can define conversion how you like – this is just a typical example. Conversion is easy to measure, which is why marketers like it. However, you are generally only capturing demand from people already aware of your product.

Awareness means you want people to see your ad. Maybe they won't click on it – that's ok. Your objective is to just get the word out so that someone is exposed to your product enough times that at some point they Google 'super cool product' and come sign up. Awareness-based ads are a small part of creating demand. This takes more effort to measure, but is totally possible - see below.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <title>Stripe’s Greatest Success Is Not Its Documentation</title>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>With its three-column layout, beautiful design, and quick copy-paste examples, there’s a good reason that Stripe is often the first mentioned in developer experience conversations. The payments API company has made a name for itself with great developer documentation and a product that backs up these expectations. Yet, if we go back to the early days—more than ten years ago, eons in developer time—we’ll find the seeds of their success that are even more worthy of your emulation</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Here’s what you should take away from this article:
What’s a distribution channel? A distribution channel is a path that a product or service could take on its way to market.
What’s a direct distribution channel? A direct distribution channel is one where a company sells directly to the consumer, usually through their website or retail store.
What’s an indirect distribution channel? If a company is using an indirect distribution channel, it means they’re using an intermediary to bring their product or service to the customer. 
How do I choose a distribution channel? When choosing a distribution channel, consider your audience, your sales goals and the product itself. Different products require different approaches.
How do I develop a distribution strategy? Developing a distribution strategy starts with focusing on the needs of the customer, deciding what distribution channels should be used, and conferring with partners on a marketing strategy."]]></description>

Making reasonable estimates on cost for a contractor and average views, we reach another value. A little division leaves us with a content cost per view.
Lastly, calculate the comparative return on investment as measured by views (or ROI AMB views).
In this example, the value of stickers is 5x to 76x greater.
We have officially proved a point. The exact number of views can be argued, the cost of a contractor can be argued, but the conclusion cannot: we can compare the relative value of stickers and content."]]></description>

    <title>Finding Language/Market Fit: How to Make Customers Feel Like You’ve Read Their Minds | First Round Review</title>
    <dc:date>2022-02-08T02:26:04+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://review.firstround.com/finding-language-market-fit-how-to-make-customers-feel-like-youve-read-their-minds</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What’s going on here isn’t magic, nor is it “just marketing tactics.” It’s language/market fit at work — when you find the exact right words to explain your product or service to prospective customers, words that resonate with goals and struggles that are already in their brains. When you talk about your product, a lightbulb in their heads switches on that says, “That is EXACTLY what I’m looking for” —  they feel like you’ve read their minds.

I myself didn’t realize until I jumped the wall from operator to VC and saw hundreds of early-stage companies, but now it’s clear as day: language/market fit is the most under-appreciated concept for early-stage startups.

For starters, most founders are focused on finding product/market fit, zeroing in on the right set of features to match their prospects’ needs. Moreover, fine-tuning language seems like "marketing," which is usually seen as a later priority, not step zero. Lastly, people also don't tend to like going out of their comfort zone — and for technical founders especially, this work usually is. 

Yet there are real costs to not prioritizing this deeper work. Before language/market fit, growth feels like pushing on a string, a lot of work for incremental gains. Your Facebook ads barely pay for themselves and your AdWords don’t. Your marketers struggle to deliver results despite success with previous companies. Your salespeople (other than your founder) struggle to sell your product. And your conversion rates hover between 0.5% and 3%.

On the other side, I’ve seen companies with language/market fit normally get conversion rates from 8% - 40%, which results in much stronger unit economics. Why the sudden jump? Visitors to your site or app store listing bring different levels of intent. It’s easy to convert high-intent users. But if you’re an unfamiliar startup, most of your visitors will have low intent, more curious than desperate. As you tighten up your language, you’ll be able to cut through to that massive pool of low-intent traffic.]]></description>

Once we have that, we can ask ourselves, “What do we have that the alternatives do not?” That gives us a list of Differentiated features or Key Unique Attributes. We can then go down that list and ask ourselves, “So what for customers?” Put another way, what is the Value those capabilities enable for our buyers? Once we understand what our differentiated value is, then we can move to customer segmentation, or who are the Customers that Care a lot about our value. There is likely a wide range of buyers that care about that value, but certain customers care a lot more than others. What are the characteristics of a customer that makes them care a lot about your differentiated value? That gives us an idea of who our best-fit customers are. Lastly, we move to Market Category. Our best market category is the context we position our product in such that our value is obvious to our target customers. Put another way, it is the definition of the Market we Intend to Win. ]]></description>

Engaged members want to be seen and heard. Posts like these are a great way to reward engaged members and help drive other members to also engage.

3. Create easy to engage posts based on sharing their own experiences

Every post in your community should point your members to take some kind of action- share your thoughts, check out these other links, send to your friends, ect.

Even easy to engage posts like- share a funny photo of your pets are a great way to get people talking and sharing in your community. Have you ever met someone with a dog or cat or bird who won’t want to show a photo if the topic comes up? Posts like these are a great way to keep the conversation going- getting members in the group involved to create content and share their opinions."

Investing in leaders is … an economical marketing tactic [for 10gen]. You can invest a small amount in developing a community leader, and expect a potentially large return from that investment. The most obvious example here is the MongoDB User Group network.

With $50,000, we could effectively support 13 user groups with some cash to spare… Our $50,000 investment has reached and engaged 3,900 members of the community across 13 different cities, with each group meeting monthly to discuss our technology.

At 10gen, we initially invest a lot of time and money into our user group organizers… The user group leaders build a network of speakers and they identify local companies to sponsor their events. The small investment continues to grow into a large, sustainable user group, often with many more than 300 members. We can then shift our attention and resources to developing user groups in new cities."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Greatest Sales Deck I’ve Ever Seen
It’s Zuora’s, and it’s brilliant. Here’s why.

A few months ago, my friend Tim took a new sales job at a Series C tech company that had raised over $60 million from A-list investors. He’s one of the best salespeople I know, but soon after starting, he emailed me to say he was struggling.
“I’ve landed a few small accounts,” Tim said. “But my pitch falls flat at big enterprises.”
As I’ve written before, I love helping teams craft the high-level strategic story that powers sales, marketing, fundraising — everything. So Tim and I met for lunch at the Amber India restaurant off San Francisco’s Market Street to review his deck.
After loading up on the all-you-can-eat buffet, I asked Tim, “At what point do prospects tune out?”
“Usually a few slides in,” he said.
Intent on maximizing dining ROI, Tim went back to the buffet for seconds. When he returned, I pulled out my laptop and launched into a Powerpoint presentation.
“What’s this?” Tim asked.
“This,” I said, “is the greatest sales deck I have ever seen.”

This isn’t new territory–other companies like Slack and Invision have been making awesome GIFs for a while now and served as inspiration for me to get into the game as well.

Why GIFs?
So, why use GIFs for announcing new features? Simple–they have a low barrier to entry. On Twitter watching a GIF takes only a click or a tap."]]></description>

    <title>From 0 to $1B - Slack's Founder Shares Their Epic Launch Strategy | First Round Review</title>

    <link>http://firstround.com/review/From-0-to-1B-Slacks-Founder-Shares-Their-Epic-Launch-Strategy/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Now, a year after Slack’s public launch, that reverence for user feedback is part of the company’s DNA. “We will take user feedback any way we can get it. In the app, we include a command that people can use to send us feedback. We have a help button that people can use to submit support tickets,” says Butterfield. They've got eyes all over Twitter for comments good and bad. “If you put that all together, we probably get 8,000 Zendesk help tickets and 10,000 tweets per month, and we respond to all of them.”

Where some people might see a huge customer-service burden, Butterfield sees one of Slack’s greatest assets — so much so that he fielded half of these messages himself for a long time. “Especially in the beginning, I handled the lion’s share of Twitter, and Ali Rayl, our Director of Quality and Support, handled the Zendesk tickets. Pretty early on, we combined quality assurance and customer support into one group that we called customer experience. They do everything from parsing customer feedback and routing it to the right people to fixing bugs themselves.”

When Slack publicly launched, that group was already three people strong. And since then, it's remained a key area of investment for the company. Today, customer support alone has 18 people with an overlapping group of 6 working on Twitter 24/7. That latter number might sound high, but Twitter is increasingly a channel for customer feedback, and it was a game-changer for Slack."]]></description>

    <title>What is Drip Marketing? The Complete Guide to Drip Campaigns, Lifecycle Emails and More</title>
    <dc:date>2015-01-07T00:56:28+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://zapier.com/blog/drip-marketing-campaign/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Drip campaigns, as mentioned above, are automated sets of emails that go out based on specific timelines or user actions. They enable you to stay in touch with groups of people based on events like when a user signs up for an account or how often that user visits your site. Each time a drip email is sent out, it comes from a queue of already-written emails—there's no need to manually write and send each one. They can even be personalized with your contacts' name, company info, and more.

Put simply, drip marketing is all about giving people the right information at the right time. If someone just subscribed to your blog newsletter, for example, a drip campaign could send a welcome email right away, and two days later, an email that shows off some of your most-read content. Or if a potential customer has been hovering around your "premium upgrade" page for a few weeks but hasn’t yet pulled the trigger, a drip campaign could send them an email with five reasons to purchase the premium plan.

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What Goes Unopened Goes Unread

Startups tend to criminally underestimate the power of a compelling subject line. Just like many of the best marketers spend half their time on a blog post just writing its headline, a significant amount of time should go into a subject line that drives clicks. If your subject line isn't piquing your users' curiosity, it doesn't really matter what's inside the email—the recipient will never get that far.

Writing compelling subject lines is an art unto itself, but the best cheat code I've found for ones that lead to high open rates is to keep things as close as possible to the kind of subject line you'd send a friend.

This typically means keeping them brief, personable, and almost unprofessionally informal. For example, a subject line like "You there?" will almost always beat out "Our records indicate you haven't logged in for 20 days.""]]></description>

Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs so that machines can read them.

The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of all awesomeness in Swagger. Why is it so great? Well, by reading your API's structure we can automatically build beautiful and interactive API documentation. We can also automatically generate client libraries for your API in many languages and explore other possibilities like automated testing.

Swagger does this by asking your API to return a JSON that contains a detailed description of your entire API. This JSON is essentially a resource listing of your API which adheres to Swagger Specification. The specification asks you to include information like:

What are all the operation that your API supports?
What are your API's parameters and what does it return?
Does your API need some authorization?
Even fun things like terms, contact information and license to use the API.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["British Airways and Ogilvy 12th Floor unveiled a series of digital billboards that "interact" with BA aircrafts flying overhead to tell you where it's headed. The ads use custom technology to track the aircraft and play a video clip of a child pointing up to the plane just as it flies overhead.

Abigail Comber, British Airways' head of marketing, told marketing and media magazine The Drum, "This is a first, not just for British Airways but for UK advertising. We all know from conversations with friends and family that we wonder where the planes are going and dream of an amazing holiday or warm destination. The clever technology allows this advert to engage people there and then and answer that question for them.

"We hope it will create a real ‘wow’ and people will be reminded how amazing flying is and how accessible the world can be."

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I wanted to understand the impact of Gmail’s new tabbed inbox, so I dug deep into our database and pulled every delivery to Gmail for the past year and half. That amounts to 12.5 billion emails and more than 2 billion unique opens.

It can be difficult to measure small changes in delivery because there are seasonal trends in email. Heck, there are hourly trends in email. As you might suspect, Gmail opens do follow these hourly, weekly, and seasonal trends, but on the whole they remain fairly steady. With that settled, I trimmed my data to a lean 6 weeks around the introduction of tabs. That’s about 1.5 billion emails, which is plenty of records for a good analysis.

I learned from my research that the new Gmail inbox is bringing down open rates, but the change isn’t dramatic at this point. Time will tell if the trend lasts. Here are the details"]]></description>

    <title>Growth Hacker is the new VP Marketing | Andrew Chen (@andrewchen)</title>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The new job title of “Growth Hacker” is integrating itself into Silicon Valley’s culture, emphasizing that coding and technical chops are now an essential part of being a great marketer. Growth hackers are a hybrid of marketer and coder, one who looks at the traditional question of “How do I get customers for my product?” and answers with A/B tests, landing pages, viral factor, email deliverability, and Open Graph. On top of this, they layer the discipline of direct marketing, with its emphasis on quantitative measurement, scenario modeling via spreadsheets, and a lot of database queries. If a startup is pre-product/market fit, growth hackers can make sure virality is embedded at the core of a product. After product/market fit, they can help run up the score on what’s already working.

This isn’t just a single role – the entire marketing team is being disrupted. Rather than a VP of Marketing with a bunch of non-technical marketers reporting to them, instead growth hackers are engineers leading teams of engineers. The process of integrating and optimizing your product to a big platform requires a blurring of lines between marketing, product, and engineering, so that they work together to make the product market itself. Projects like email deliverability, page-load times, and Facebook sign-in are no longer technical or design decisions – instead they are offensive weapons to win in the market."]]></description>

However, to make good software, requires lots of thought, trial and error, evaluation, iteration, trying the ideas out on other users, learning, thinking, more trial and error, and on and on. At some point you say it ain't perfect, but it's useful, so let's ship. That process, if the software is to be any good, doesn't happen in 24 hours.

Several were given Victoria's Secret bags, while others toted plain pink shopping bags. The study surfaced an interesting connection. Those women who carried Victoria's Secret bags felt more feminine, glamorous, and good-looking. On the contrary, those with the pink shopping bags felt indifferent. These studies represent a harbinger of the importance of personal relationships and how they're fostered in brand experiences. Businesses must bring their companies and products to life. As other studies show, social networking is incredibly emotional. As I wrote in a recent post, "Once More With Feeling," some experiments show that as we Tweet, our levels of oxytocin rise."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["See, I’ve heard a lot of discussion about MailChimp’s success with freemium, but it’s scary that people would want to model their companies around us. I say it’s scary, because they don’t know our history, and they don’t know our motivation. I came across this article recently: Why Free Plans Don’t Work. They actually mention MailChimp in a positive way, but the discussion in the comments show that people really need a little insight into what drove us to go freemium. So here goes…"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Obviously free plans have worked well for companies like Wufoo, MailChimp, and FreshBooks, so we know they can work. But the problem is that we’re not them.  We need to stop blindly copying them and start thinking about ways to bring in revenue.  I’ll concede that there are certain types of apps that are more likely to succeed by offering a free plan and going with the Freemium model. But the vast majority of apps aren’t in this category, and the vast majority of people don’t have the resources to make that model work.  Taking advantage of word-of-mouth marketing requires more users than most of us will attain. Instead, we end up with a large number of free users zapping away valuable resources for nothing in return. To top it off, most free users will never end up converting to a paid plan."]]></description>

For example, in an email where we talked about a series of upcoming interviews that were available for pre-order, a simple P.S. at the bottom that said, “Stay tuned – we’re putting the finishing touches on a new video entitled, “The 20 Habits of Wealthy Traders.” You’ll see it in your inbox in the next day or two.”  It was a bit of a fluke actually. It was late at night, I was tired, and couldn’t think of anything more to say about the paid interview series. I was behind on the video that I had promised and decided to mention it there.  It was the lowest number of unsubscribes in a pitch email we’d had in a long time. No links, no “last chance” pitch – just a promo for what was coming next."]]></description>
