Growth Hacks

#1. Hike prices while driving urgency

A 'Price Hike' strategy is a simple yet brilliant approach to drive urgency and reward early birds.

Start with a lower price point and increase it incrementally after every few sales.

Example:

Steph Smith did this with her Internet Pipes course. She raised the price by $20 after every 20 sales. It starts low, but as each tier sells out, it signals market approval and encourages urgency - driving more interest and purchases.

#3. Empathy sells

Beware the Empathy Gap! It's the chasm between what your customers feel and what you think they feel.

Acknowledge and reduce the gap by:

  1. Identifying your customers' pain points 

  2. Responding not just with products, but with genuine understanding and empowering solutions.

Like this United Colors of Benetton ad did with their messaging.
