Psychology Is Everything

When it comes to purchasing a product customers will buy what they think is the best deal for them, because psychology is everything. This is why it's really important to know how your customers think.

A while ago I decided to test this philosophy and offered two amazing deals for our clients to choose from:

- One offer was deposit xxx and play with xxx. (for example: deposit 25 and play with 100 - 300% bonus)
- Second offer was a flat percent bonus (for example 400% bonus).

Even when the bonus offer was higher, more clients took the first offer, the fixed amount one. It led me to the conclusion that YOUR CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND SIMPLICITY. If its not simple your customers won't purchase. Percentage isn't simple as a stand alone number! If you want to use percentage use it as a comparison (i.e. 30% off).

Few more points we found out:
1. Clients took more offers like deposit $29 than deposit $24 offers (9 vs 4).
2. Clients spent more when the dollar sign was removed from the cost (300 vs. $300)
3. Selling offers as a one deal instead of a full package. Your clients want to know what is the deal now, not what they get on their 4th deposit.
4. Make your deal exclusive for them, your customers want to feel unique. Give it to them!

Don't forget the most important rule, the $100 RULE:
1. < 100
If the price is less than $100 show the discount as percentage
2. > 100
if the price is more than $100 show the discount as amount

Signup process, how to do it right!

Every flow, campaign you do should have KPIs , but most of all it should have a purpose. When we work on the signup flow we need to understand that the purpose is 100% clients that start the signup flow will complete it. This means your signup flow should be KISS (keep it stupid/super simple). In the signup flow we usually need the basic information of a customer, like: 1. Full name 2. Email 3. Phone number 4. Birthday 5. Country 6. City 7. Zip Code 8. Gender An example of a signup flow: The above diagram describes a nice signup flow: 1. On the first step you fill in your email and password (could be separated into two steps) 2. Step 2 you will need to fill in your full details, in the meantime you will receive a confirmation email. 3. Step 3 you will need to verify your phone number The email confirmation step is not part of the signup process. This email should have only one purpose, confirming the customer's email. Don't make it long or explain abo

What the FUCK is churn rate?

What the fuck is churn rate and why is it so important for your company? Wikipedia  tells us: "Churn rate (sometimes called attrition rate), in its broadest sense, is a measure of the number of individuals or items moving out of a collective group over a specific period. It is one of two primary factors that determine the steady-state level of customers a business will support. The term is used in many contexts, but is most widely applied in business with respect to a contractual customer base. For instance, it is an important factor for any business with a subscriber-based service model, including mobile telephone networks and pay TV operators. The term is also used to refer to participant turnover in peer-to-peer networks. Churn rate is an important input into customer lifetime value modeling, and can be part of a simulator used to measure ROI using marketing mix modeling ." When you look at your churn rate you know how is your retention performing. How

Priority Potential RFM

After learning what is the RFM algorithm in my previous post . I would like to write today about my adjustments and improvements that helped me during these years as an online marketer. I call it the Priority Potential   RFM or just PPRFM . P - Priority (who to contact first) P - Potential (predicting lifetime value of a customer) R – Recency (most recent deposit) F – Frequency (how many times he deposited) M – Monetary (Lifetime Deposits) Please see attached diagram I did for an online gaming company: Remember we are not changing the RFM algorithm we are just adding two new add-ons. Priority - everything should work according to who do you want to contact first and why. Potential - In this section you put everything you think might influence a customer to buy your product or not. It can be various things so try to think what are the characteristics that differentiate your purchasing customers from your customers that still didn't buy from you and segment them
