Startup Marketing: The Reality 
• Used a video of a non-existent 
product to gather 
feedback 
• Formulated hypotheses 
about features and tested 
them rapidly 
• Changed marketing 
approach and feature set 
when hypotheses were 
disconfirmed by market 
feedback 
• Started as a platform for 
gathering support using 
“tipping points” 
• Customers told them that 
the idea was too abstract 
and unfocused 
• The company almost ran 
out of money 
• Found that only one 
aspect was working: 
group deals
Startup Marketing: The Reality 
Payment system for PDAs 
Massively multi-player game 
Video-dating site 
Automated email recommendation service

Marketing Disruptive Products

For High Tech Businesses, Marketing 
is More About Opps Than Current 
Market 
10 
Current Market Demand Opportunity 
Current products meet current 
customers 
Novel products, often targeting 
non-users 
Needs well understood and stable Needs not well-defined, likely to 
change 
Substitutes for existing products 
within category 
Creating new categories of 
demand 
Selection, resulting in market 
share 
Rate of adoption and penetration 
Size of market, ease of addressing Potential benefits vs. behavioral 
change 
Source: Michael Davies, Endeavour Partners
Novel, Tech Innovative Products: 
Difficult to Adopt 
• Most people, most of the time loathe change 
• Investment in time and effort 
• Uncertainly, anxiety 
• Not familiar with novel products and 
their potential 
• Novel products always require trade-offs 
• Evaluation based on perceived value, 
relative to products in use 
• Sensitive to loss aversion 
• Companies underestimate the switching costs, 
overestimate the potential benefits

Buyers

What Can You to Do to Drive 
Rapid Adoption? 
• Accept resistance 
• Anticipate long adoption 
• Manage accordingly 
• Strive for >10x gain: 
• Make relative benefits so great they overcome customers’ 
overweighting of potential losses 
• Minimize resistance: 
• Target non-users – don’t use product now, no change 
needed or the unendowed 
• Target segments of customers who don’t give up as much 
• Make behaviorally compatible products

Positioning Roadmap Revisited
22 
The Insight 
Positioning is driven by the reason why you 
started your business – the insight or “aha!” 
moment behind it: 
• Why did you create your company? 
• What need did you want to address? 
• Who are “your people”? 
Example: Vitality 
A product designed to tackle the combination of factors 
that conspire to cause non-adherent behavior = GlowCaps
23 
“Your People” 
Understanding “your people” means designing a 
solution with your customers in mind: 
• Who are the beneficiaries of your product? 
• Who are the buyers of your product? 
• Why do they buy? 
• What’s important to them?
“Your People”: Market 
Segmentation 
“Your people” are not a homogenous group. 
Address each group individually: 
• Market segmentation means dividing your market into 
distinct groups with: 
• Distinct needs 
• Characteristics 
• Behavior 
• Each segment may require separate products/services 
or marketing mixes
Developing Positioning Statement 
• Positioning statements summarize the company 
or brand positioning 
• To (target segment and need) our (brand) is (concept) 
that (point-of-difference) or 
• For (target segment) who is dissatisfied with (pain 
point) your (brand) is (concept) that (point-of-difference) 
• Example: For drivers who value automotive 
performance, BMW provides luxury vehicles 
that deliver joy through German engineering
Backing Your Positioning by 
Segment: Opternative 
Target Audience 
Segment 
Specific Value for 
Audience 
Segment 
How Service is 
Provided 
Evidence 
Patients 
Doctors 
Pharmacies 
• Evidence – anything that supports your case: 
• Irrefutable facts 
• Statistics 
• Examples & case studies 
• Visual aids 
• Hypothetical evidence 
• Parallels or analogies 
• Testimonials & references
Go-to-Market Plans 
27

• Test assumptions: 
• Product vs. solution 
• Pricing 
• Acquisition channels 
• Cost per acquisition 
• LTV

  • 7. Startup Marketing: The Reality • Used a video of a non-existent product to gather feedback • Formulated hypotheses about features and tested them rapidly • Changed marketing approach and feature set when hypotheses were disconfirmed by market feedback • Started as a platform for gathering support using “tipping points” • Customers told them that the idea was too abstract and unfocused • The company almost ran out of money • Found that only one aspect was working: group deals
  • 8. Startup Marketing: The Reality Payment system for PDAs Massively multi-player game Video-dating site Automated email recommendation service Podcasting (as Odeo)
  • 10. For High Tech Businesses, Marketing is More About Opps Than Current Market 10 Current Market Demand Opportunity Current products meet current customers Novel products, often targeting non-users Needs well understood and stable Needs not well-defined, likely to change Substitutes for existing products within category Creating new categories of demand Selection, resulting in market share Rate of adoption and penetration Size of market, ease of addressing Potential benefits vs. behavioral change Source: Michael Davies, Endeavour Partners
  • 11. Novel, Tech Innovative Products: Difficult to Adopt • Most people, most of the time loathe change • Investment in time and effort • Uncertainly, anxiety • Not familiar with novel products and their potential • Novel products always require trade-offs • Evaluation based on perceived value, relative to products in use • Sensitive to loss aversion • Companies underestimate the switching costs, overestimate the potential benefits 11 Source: Michael Davies, Endeavour Partners

  • 20. Remember: It is ALL About the Why 20 Source: @MikeTrap
  • 22. 22 The Insight Positioning is driven by the reason why you started your business – the insight or “aha!” moment behind it: • Why did you create your company? • What need did you want to address? • Who are “your people”? Example: Vitality A product designed to tackle the combination of factors that conspire to cause non-adherent behavior = GlowCaps
  • 23. 23 “Your People” Understanding “your people” means designing a solution with your customers in mind: • Who are the beneficiaries of your product? • Who are the buyers of your product? • Why do they buy? • What’s important to them?
  • 24. “Your People”: Market Segmentation “Your people” are not a homogenous group. Address each group individually: • Market segmentation means dividing your market into distinct groups with: • Distinct needs • Characteristics • Behavior • Each segment may require separate products/services or marketing mixes
  • 25. Developing Positioning Statement • Positioning statements summarize the company or brand positioning • To (target segment and need) our (brand) is (concept) that (point-of-difference) or • For (target segment) who is dissatisfied with (pain point) your (brand) is (concept) that (point-of-difference) • Example: For drivers who value automotive performance, BMW provides luxury vehicles that deliver joy through German engineering
