I had a wonderful experience with Marketing Playbook launch on Twitter yesterday

Why should you care?

Lets' face it — not evey founder has a +50K audience to launch their product to.
I was curious how far Twitter launch might take me with my 1K followers.

Lessons learnt 👇 1. First, results:
Sales
Twitter — 25
Medium — 3
I still include Medium-related sales bacause I share pieces I write for Medium on Twitter.
Revenue: $459 Twitter, $87 Medium = $546
76% of Twitter sales were with coupon, all Medium sales - full price

We operated in a small team. I was in charge of making visuals, presenting them, plus helped with the translations.

During the meeting I was constantly focused on what I was supposed to say next.

I rarely tweet about my boring wholesale business but here it goes.

I NEVER do Black Friday sales.
And I'll tell you why you should not do them either. 👇 1. You know those pics with with shoppers hitting stores to get access to Black Friday deals? Well, they are THE KEY to the whole story.

Your x2 price reduction makes economical sense ONLY if you know that you can get this crowd to your point of sales (website, app, whatever)

In my 6 months on Twitter I’ve seen several threads exposing “evil marketers” who create campaigns aimed at getting better access to customers' wallets.
