PMM Files #70 – Robo Call Revenge, Experience As Proof, and Benefits You Can Believe


Read Time: 3.2 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

​

Example #1 - Reworkd Uses Experience as Proof

Why do buyers value social proof? It gives them peace of mind that buying your product won’t be a decision they regret.

But what can you use when you don’t have a lot of testimonials or case studies?

Try showing proof that you have experience doing the job you say you do. Like Reworkd, who show that they’ve extracted more than 15 million lines of code.

​

Example #2 - Robo Call Revenge

Here’s a genius content play from Robokiller.

They know their audience hates scammers, so they created Robo Call Revenge, a series where they play real examples of their product inflicting pain on scammers.

Not only is it super satisfying content, it also demonstrates the value of their product.

Example #3 - Coming Soon to Dopt

I’m seeing more established SaaS companies do this β€” setting up waitlist pages for new products or even features.

I love the idea of waitlists because they allow you to promote a product and capture demand - even convert it to beta users - before putting a big marketing effort behind your launch.

Also want to call out the use of the β€œeyebrow” from Dopt as a clever way to promote the waitlist on their homepage.

​

Example #4 - A Clear "How it Works" Section

With interactive demos and product animations becoming the norm, it’s great to see that simple screenshots and callouts still work.

This simple section on Popupsmart’s homepage lets you choose from different use cases and highlights important capabilities on each page.

Simple, yet effective.

Example #5 - A Benefit You Can Believe

I’m always looking for ways to improve my golf game. But I’m skeptical when something promises to shave strokes off my round.

That’s why I love this piece of messaging for the Lag Shot 7-iron. Instead of some lofty further-order benefit, this swing-aid simply promises:

β€œYou'll turn that rare β€œonce a round” purely struck iron shot that feels like butter into something that happens all the time.”

Now that’s something I can believe in.
