Target Joe Sixpack, Increase Conversion

by Juho Tunkelo on December 14, 2009

I’m just passing the baton here, TechCrunch did the honors here.

But briefly put, what we find here is this:

If you want to make the most money, target Joe Sixpack who uses Windows and drives a Volvo.

NOT the uber geek type who uses a Mac or Linux, and drives a trendy Toyota Prius.

Why is that such a truism?

Well, just take a look at these glorious stats from the TC article:

So the Internet Explorer types click more on ads...

So the Internet Explorer types click more on ads...

And for more evidence, we present…

And the Microsoft types buy more, too?

And the Microsoft types buy more, too?

Frankly, this is such simple knowledge that I almost didn’t post it (and we covered this a bit before already).

But the simplest things often create the most profits, so do take a closer look.

Just remember this: when you choose your product strategy… when you choose your marketing method and message… in every important juncture… do not forget who your main audience is!

And no, it’s not people like yourself. Almost without exception, it’s Joe Sixpack and his closest friends and family.

IF maximum profits is what you’re after. ;)

Sneaky Mobile Trick Increases Sales By 1000%

by Juho Tunkelo on October 23, 2009

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; we’ve only just scratched (and sniffed) at what’s truly possible for marketing on the mobile side.

There are so many plays to be had. As in Plays for the Playahs. Yah mon.

I’ll predict the next two years will see a wild run in mobile-related e-commerce… for those who understand it.

For an appetizer, check out this video I made. Think it’s safe to say… you haven’t seen THIS before.

It shows you how just one tiny part of the online sales funnel benefits from a touch of Mobile Magic.

Por favor:

So there you have it.

The ugly truth and the beautiful profit potential laid bare before you.

Better that than me, eh eh…

So get ready for some more Mobile Pimpin’! See yahs!

Time for some 'mobile pimpin'!

Time for some 'mobile pimpin'!

PS. Hey fellow Finns: recognize the scenery in the video? ;) Leave a comment will ya, make me feel at home …
