TESTING MESSAGE
KPI: Cost Per Email Acquisition
(“I’m interested in purchasing”)
Variables
Voiceover:
Identifying the suspects: start with common sense, some secondary research
Experiment: do small $ investments to see which audiences have the lowest cost per click
In this case it was whether they would like our FB page. That created our suspect pool.
This was through 3 channels:
Emails: personal and newsletter mailing list
Livestreams:
Skype sessions

Final CTA was around $ wise? Do you mean CTA cost per acquisition? Referencing Jellop towards the end of the campaign it was 2-3X so roughly us$40-60 per backer% of people who viewed our ads and clicked on it = 3%% of people who clicked who gave their email = 43%% of people received our emails and came to our landing page = Not tracked% of people who came to landing page and backed ORII = Not tracked (but recall that it was roughly 2% based on matching of emails of actual backers)
Self-service- never see customer til transaction
Inside sales – hot leads, launched, obtain emails, contacted by phone service (eg. FB chats), not on commission (on salary), more process-driven. ORII ex: when CEO sends personal email to Kickstarter backer to start building relationship
Channel sales – usually retail channels. ORII ex: Kickstarter campaign, aggregate pre-qualified audience, selling through telco (CSL), close and deliver, other examples, Fortress sell-in/sell-through
Field sales-commissioned-based

Groupon may not be a hot, new concept anymore, but, they’re still a major company reaching millions of consumers every month.
They have a very clear email opt-in pop-up on their site. It’s similar to what they used to have on their homepage but now it’s showing to all visitors across the site on their first visit.
Steps in Sales Funnel
Traffic (from ads, direct, referrals, affiliates, email list, and more)
Homepage
The pop-up on the homepage incentivizes you to give your email address. You get a coupon code for $10 off $25 on your first order just for signing up.
From there, you can browse and shop for services.
