Here are some key insights from this week’s show:

  • In the end, the person buying the product matters most.
  • Build a consumer first foundation, then build a loyal base of customers that care deeply about the brand, and then continue to build on the excitement.
  • Always solve for the tension/dissatisfaction that exists in the planning or buying process.
  • At the end, the product and experience is the true reveal.
  • Instead of offering products for free (to generate trial) consider splitting the risk so that the customer feels ownership of the experience.
