David made an interesting comment on my post about hyper-responsive pay per click marketing yesterday:
——–
Isn’t the *Hyper-Responsive Consumer* that you are describing the most informed buyer in our market? We could call him our most educated buyer couldn’t we?
So how about this approach to what you are saying in 2 videos: ‘The way to increase your entire campaign performance is to design your marketing around the buying triggers of the smartest buyers.”
Identifying and exploiting buyer’s emotions or reasons are SIMPLE marketing fundamentals. So why the convoluted explanation of smart buyers?’
———
So here’s the reason.
I’m not just talking about the smartest buyers in your market. In fact, often the smartest buyers are the least responsive, most price sensitive, and hardest to deal with.
I’m talking about a very specific type of customer who is UNDYINGLY PASSIONATE about the products in your market, who’s CONSUMPTION APPETITE FAR EXCEEDS YOUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE, and who is emotionally invested in the solutions your market has to offer as an essential part of their sense of self.
So while all hyper-responsive customers may be smart shoppers, all smart shoppers are definitely NOT hyper-responsive customers.
In fairness to David, I haven’t had time to illustrate how to identify these customers yet, nor have I shown you specific examples of how they behave in surveys, blogs, discussion forums, purchase records, etc … so I understand the confusion.
There’s MUCH more to come!
