Example #1 - Pricing in Lattes

Great software or a latte — what would you choose?

Kondo’s clever pricing approach anchors its cost relative to a latte, and it’s brilliant.

We all know lattes are getting pricey, but Kondo makes it clear: if you can afford a few, you can afford their product.

Example #2 - The 1-Minute Explainer

This energetic video from Miro showcases their new "Intelligent Canvas" in just one minute.

It not only explains their new AI-powered canvas, but walks you through a number of practical use cases.

The perfect, quick introduction to a product page that takes you deeper into each specific capability.

Example #3 - Allow Zoom To Reintroduce Itself

Zoom just unveiled their new positioning. They dropped 'video' from their name and are focusing on all things communications.

Will this strategic bet pay off? Who knows. One thing's for sure — it's a very public example of a large enterprise tackling a major repositioning.

Delivered directly by the Founder, the narrative connects Zoom’s history as a video communications leader to its ambitious future as an AI-first platform for human connection.

Example #4 - The Problem With Spreadsheets

This is a perfect example of a homepage problem section. It’s clear, concise, and visual. Three problem statements slapped right on top of the manual alternative Opine's product replaces.

Sections like these are becoming more common on SaaS homepages. A go-to section for homepage messaging experts like Fletch PMM (who worked on this exact page). They instantly show potential customers you understand their challenges.

Example #5 - A Not Boring Newsletter Ad

Newsletters are becoming a real acquisition channel for SaaS — but what makes a good newsletter ad? This Tegus ad in Packy McCormack’s Not Boring newsletter is a great example.

It explains, with no-nonsense, how Packy uses Tegus to write his content. While it lacks images, the ad uses plain language to explain practical use cases, benefits, and differentiators.

Readers can imagine themselves using Tegus, just like Packy.
