PMM Files #175 - Name The Tier for Your Buyer, One Difference, Clearly Shown and Build a Comparison Report


Read Time: 3.9 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...

Join the next Foundry cohort

The PMM Foundry is a group coaching program for founding and solo PMMs. Each 12-week cohort gives you expert guidance, peer support, and proven frameworks to help you build your function with confidence.

​→ Apply for the September cohort​

​

Example #1 - Name The Tier for Your Buyer

This is a great example of intentionally naming your pricing tiers.

Delphi knows who they are selling to and how they likely think about themselves.

  • Builder is for professionals and creators.
  • Scaler for leaders with growing audiences.
  • Immortal is for public figures who want to have legacy and be remembered.

Most tier names describe what you get. This names what you want.

​→ See Delphi's pricing page​

Example #2 - One Difference, Clearly Shown

MOD sells a caffeine-free energy drink that uses Modafinil (a caffeine alternative) to deliver up to 12 hours of sustained alertness.

Instead of just saying it, they show the difference in this simple visual.

Anyone can clearly see they won't be on an energy roller coaster if they chose MOD over caffeine alternatives.

Example #3 - The Hero That Demos

Heyclicky's hero has a collection of mini-demos, hovering around their main explainer video.

It goes against all "normal hero" designs, but focuses on doing one thing really well β€” actually showing how to use the product.

Example #4 - Build a Comparison Report

Everyone gets asked how they're better than alternatives. Ivo built a whole report about it.

They tested Ivo against two alternatives for contract review: Claude for Word and a real legal professional.

The methodology is transparent and the results aren't just summary scores. There's side-by-side examples with real text blocks showing what each tool caught and what it missed.

Most comparison content is built to win deals. This one help buyers decide.

Example #5 - Walk Buyers Through the Experience

It's impossible for Eight Sleep to let potential buyers experience a real nights sleep using their product. But they've found a cool way around it.

Their product is called the Pod β€” a system for your bed that controls temperature, adjusts elevation, and tracks sleep throughout the night.

Their How It Works page includes a section that walks you through what happens from the moment you get in bed to the moment you wake up.

Software products can offer interactive demos. Physical products usually can't. Eight Sleep's answer is this walkthrough. By the time you finish it, you know exactly what a night looks like.

The Coaching Program for Building Your PMM Function and Career

The PMM Foundry is a group coaching program for founding and solo PMMs.

Those of you doing it on your own, without a mentor, a peer group, or indication that you're β€œdoing things right.”

It’s not another course, or a series of packed webinars.

This is an intimate, 12-week cohort where you and 5-7 other PMMs will go deep on building your product marketing function, establishing core frameworks and processes, and handling the challenges that come with it.

After 12 weeks, you’ll leave with a better understanding of the product marketing function, plus templates and frameworks you’ll feel confident using.

More importantly, you’ll have a safe space to get feedback, workshop ideas, validate your thinking, and connect with other like-minded PMMs in the same situation as you.

The next cohort kicks off the week of September 7th. It’s intentionally kept to a small number of members (5-8), so apply now to secure your spot.
