PMM Files #151 – The Pricing Page That Positions, A How It Works That Works and A Use Case Video Launch Tease


Read Time: 3.7 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

  • Love Navattic, but don't have time to build your demos?
  • DemoDash builds and maintains interactive demos for Navattic customers.
  • Started by two PMMs with over 100 demos under their belt.
  • ​Book a call with Eric and Jason to learn more.
​

Example #1 - The Pricing Section That Positions

Lindy did something super clever in their pricing section β€” they added a fake "Human Assistant" plan to act as an anchor.

It shows how much more expensive hiring an assistant would be vs using Lindy. Plus a couple of fun quips like "will betray you and everything you've ever loved."

It's a creative way to position a product against legacy alternatives. And makes $49.99 feel like a no-brainer!

​→ We've never seen something like this before​

Example #2 - A Use Case Video Teaser

This product use case video not only crushes, it doubles as a launch teaser.

Notion's head of Product Marketing casually walks you through how he uses their new Custom Agents product. The catch is that he's demoing a product they haven't released yet, and how he uses it to prepare for THAT very launch. Talk about meta.

It's a great 1-2 punch. Show a cool new product in a simple way while also building hype for the upcoming launch.

Example #3 - A Simple How It Works

Loop helps you sell secondhand stuff from your house. Their how it works section is clean, simple and clear. In just three steps, you get exactly how their service works.

  • Step 1: Take a picture.
  • Step 2: Put your stuff on your porch and it gets picked up without having to schedule or meetup with a stranger.
  • Step 3: Get paid.

These sections are becoming increasingly important. The faster someone thinks "oh, I get it"...the faster they move forward.

Example #4 - Not Every Launch Needs a Campaign

Not every launch needs a slick landing page, launch event, and lots of buzz. Sometimes, a founder telling the story of why it matters does the trick.

This post from Klue's CEO, Jason Smith, is a prime example. It's clearly important to the company but not something you'd invest massive dollars in.

Most companies struggle with this. You're shipping constantly, but not everything deserves the same investment.

Example #5 - Strong Narratives Can Still Be Funny

Here's a fun product-focused campaign from HockeyStack.

Like a lot of their content, it pokes fun at the stereotypical CRO/Marketing dynamic β€” and how HockeyStack's AI Agent, Odin, cuts through it.

Watch as Odin closes the gap between sales and marketing, something their CRO clearly loathes. It's funny, but there's a clear narrative there that works.

Meet DemoDash, an interactive demo agency for Navattic users

Interactive demos are everywhere in B2B SaaS right now. Buyers love them because they get to click through your product without waiting for a sales call.

But here’s the problem: marketing teams are stretched thinner than ever.

You’re managing campaigns, creating content, updating the website, supporting sales, launching features, reporting on metrics, and somehow still expected to build and maintain a library of interactive demos.

Something’s gotta give.

That’s why Jason and Eric Holland created DemoDash.

Between them, they’ve built over 100 demos on the Navattic platform, for clients and past employers. They know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get demos shipped without adding to your already-full plate.

If you want interactive demos as part of your GTM but need an agency partner to make it happen, talk to the DemoDash team.
