Don’t focus on offline
¨ Focus is on online ¨ Why? ¤ Trackable (KEY!) ¤ Purchasing intent / Already on a
computer

- nline it gets expensive
¤ Brand building (Suppliers like it) ¤ Halo effect of multi-channel
marketing

sales fast!
Key learnings to apply
¨ Test everything that
moves
¨ Develop a hypothesis,
list assumptions and test them
¨ Focus on what converts
and kill what doesn’t
¨ Know your numbers!
SEM
¨ Thousands of campaigns
(Bundles of keywords)
¤ Need to capture all the
volume you can across long tail
¨ Perfect for capturing
specific purchasing intent
¨ Need to track all the time,
ultimate binary keep/kill
¨ GDN (Display) and FB are
good traffic driver, but quality lower than SEM
SEO
¨ Long-term approach, think
months and years

down marketing cost over time, need to start

bloggers…

google ranking (Get on the first page)

valuable (pareto)

and ask!
Newsletter examples
¨ Newsletters are a great source
- f converts
¤ Get higher LTV by re-activating ¨ Smiley faces in subject headers ¨ Sending from a person’s name
not a company
¨ Segmentation to target
different kinds of users
¨ Timing of the day you send ¤ Open rates ¨ Check what they look like
across different clients
¤ Outlook often weird
Social Media
¨ Focus on Facebook, don’t
care about others
¨ ‘Gadgets go viral’ and
convert well
¨ Boring stuff does not get
shared
¨ Generally low IQ
¤ People like cats (Engagement)
¨ Social, social sharing have
higher quality traffic at attractive cost
Affiliates
¨ Beware, think of affiliates like real people
¤ If you do not convert they will kill you and will be
difficult to sign them again
¤ How much you pay doesn’t matter if don’t convert!
Sneaky and scrappy (AKA latent markets)
¨ Some models, people aren’t looking for you
¤ Twitter, Glossybox/Birchbox
¨ Content marketing can get you going (Forum posts)
¤ “We are 3 girls and not enough guys signed up”
¨ Viral
¤ Dollar shave club!
¨ Generating content for social sharing
¤ Memes
Retargeting (Sociomantic)

ads everywhere after going to Lazada
