Brilliant Marketing Use of A Free Trial
It actually gives you a 14 day free trial, without the use of a credit card or any other form of payment. Sorry, you do have to type your e-mail address in. This only to get your login information to use the software and of course add you to their marketing list.
First Marketing Lesson: Talk about creating software that was easy to use. Man even an "Old Geezer" like me, that is all thumbs when it comes to using software, was able to follow the users guide to the T and actually created my first project with it.
2nd Marketing Lesson: Then the "Free Trial" allowed me to use every feature on the software, where I could build my confidence in how easy it was to use.
3rd Marketing Lesson: Then viewing the finished project and giving me the ability to edit it gave me the "Power Rush" of being in control.
4th Marketing Lessons: Not only gave a picture of the benefits, but painted a picture of me using the benefits and benefiting from them.
5th Marketing Lesson: Hitting all the emotional buttons to drive me towards the buy button.
6th Marketing Lesson: Allowing completion of the project, letting me review it and then...
7th Marketing Lesson: Taking it away from me. Which in turn made me want to click on the pay button so I could take full advantage of what I had just created.
To me the way this software was developed and then used it to market, capture my interest and desire to own it was brilliant. Now it may be I'm a push over for a good sales pitch, but in this case the whole marketing approach blew me away.
The thing is these tactics have been around since fire was discovered and the guy who invented it and made a fortune selling it. Now I'm going to try and remember these lessons, every time I reach out to my market.
