PMM Files #75 - Horizontal Messaging, Personalized ROI, and Here Comes The Boom


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 - Seamless Website Onboarding

Playground’s website makes you feel like you’re onboarding to their product with an in-browser tour.

In just four clicks, visitors are guided through a simple tutorial that demonstrates what Playground does and how it can be used.

It makes getting started with the product feel seamless and educates potential buyers without them having to dig through the website.

​

Example #2 - Affirm Clearly Explains "How"

"Buy now, pay later without the fees."

The concept is pretty simple to understand, but Affirm does a great job showing potential customers exactly how it works.

When all competitor messaging starts to sound the same, showcasing the β€œhow” might take center stage as your way to differentiate.

​

Example #3 - Here Comes The Boom

Boom’s website instantly grabs your attention with bright colors and bold text. But what stood out to me was this particular section.

The H1: ”Stand out in a sea of talking heads.”

The playful copy is paired with simply-explained features that show how you'll easily stick out on camera β€” for all the right reasons. When I saw this, all I could think was… BOOM!

Example #4 - Pigment’s Horizontal Messaging

For any company aiming to be a horizontal platform, this is textbook blocking and tackling.

Pigment manages multiple segments on their website with a simple and intuitive navigation.

I love how each β€œteam” page is clearly structured, with clear messaging and use cases. It’s clear Pigment knows exactly who they’re selling to and the value they provide.

Example #5 - Reachdesk Makes ROI Personal

Reachdesk’s ROI calculator stands out because of how personal it feels.

They anchor projected ROI to the specific metric a buyer wants to impact, like response rate, close rate, or velocity.

It's a smart way to make ROI more personal and believable, so potential buyers really buy in.
