WEBVTT - Mammas Don't Lie

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm off my game today. No, you're not. People are

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>going to have to start making better content. I think

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be talking about this for a long time.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>When you program for everyone, you program for no one.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's that we're purpose driven platform, like we're

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to get to substance? How was that? Are you

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>happy with that? This is marketing therapy right now? And

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>it really is? What's up? I'm Laura Carenti and I'm

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Alexa Kristin. Welcome back to episode seven seven. It's a

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>special Mother's Day episode, which means we call our mama's.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>We're calling our mother's but we're also talking about things

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>that are kind of big in and around the Mother's

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Day holiday, right And we went to at Landia's Twitter

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>handle to talk to some of our most loyal friends

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and fans of the show, and we asked them, like,

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>what are some of the brands that you think we

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>should hash out and just like freestyle more things like

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>brands and behavior. One of the things that they said

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>was subscription models, Like what's working? What's not working? Okam,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>can you lay a freestyle beat over this? Um? So

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about subscriptions because a couple of our Twitter followers,

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>so Jennifer Are at tws are blog on Twitter, reach

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>out to us and said, what I'm wondering about subscription

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>boxes is how will they keep us coming back and

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>committing long term? Will they run out of steam? Which

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>is something that is interesting in a world where we

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>seem to be leaning more and more into customization and

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>curation and personalization like real personalization Alexa, Curiously, no, do

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to any boxes currently. I used to subscribe

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to birch Box. I did it because I didn't want

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to spend like forty five dollars on an eye pencil

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't know if I was going to actually love.

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So it gave me options to try things and it

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they would send me stuff that I would never in

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.639
<v Speaker 1>a million years, like bright pink lips stains, which ps

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't wear. But I tried it and I was like, ah,

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't look bad in this, and it started

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>making me think about other ways that I could, you know,

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 1>challenge myself with color, etcetera, etcetera. And I really liked it.

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So I also at one point had a very short

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>stint with birch Box, and I think, what you just

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>said was the reason it was a very short stint,

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>which was instead of starting me with things that were

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>personally curated that I hand selected, it was just sending

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>me a hodgepodg of things based on like which j

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Lo dress I like. So if they gave you, hey,

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>this month, you have a choice of tent because they

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>do do this like this month, you can have like

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to want to pick all of it? Yeah, yeah,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's a bad metal. We're also dealing with,

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like just the product in general for you was not

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>right right because you're you are a makeup aficionado, But

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't just extend to me because you're welcome. I

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.399
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. I have the Bronzer Queen. But I think

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what's interesting about it is I'm realizing that that doesn't

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>just apply to makeup. So I'm also quarterly subscriber to

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Rachel Zoe's collection, which she personally curates. Now every month

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>there is at least one thing in that box that

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is amazing. The rest I typically gift

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's worth it to you? Is that? Is that

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>why you can because that product, that one product I

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>love is definitely worth or retails more than what I

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>pay for the box, so that I appreciate, and I

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>usually give the rest to other people, which they also appreciate.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>But I think what's interesting is that what I come

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to understand and someone like, wait, this was re gifted. Luckily,

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the people I gifted to that re gift.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess, no, I don't open it yet. It's like,

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm not going to wear these like bottle

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>cap sunglasses, like pass My Dogwalker loves bottle cap sunglasses

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and she wears them. Um. But that said, the idea

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of them running out of them, I think is an

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>interesting one because like all subscription models, so whether you're

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>paying you know, X number of dollars for Netflix or

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you're paying for Nanda, Nime for the information like whatever

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it is, I think that those brands or media companies

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>or whatever need to continually optimize to the person, not

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>necessarily culture. In this one instance that I think I

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>will ever go on the record and say that when

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you so explain that a little bit more so not

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>culture might tell Rachel's Oh, or Birch Box or even

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Netflix that you should be doing programming that looks like this,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and so where is the human factor of like a

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>little more context, a little smarter. I just don't think

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that the selection. I think it's a good point. So

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I what I think the issue is in a lot

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>of cases, maybe with like Birch Box. I don't know

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>if they've changed it since I've I'm not a subscriber anymore,

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>But their upfront process was a really really simple process.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Right They would ask you your age, your skin color,

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>what you like, are you into hair care? Are you

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>into this? Are you into that? And maybe they need

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to update that a little bit more. How do they

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>do that? Do you know what I would do? I

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>would start creating like lookalike segments, and I would start

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>analyzing them based on certain things like if I could

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>follow people like Lord Granti and I knew what kind

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>of media they were consuming, what kind of clothing they

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>were buying, Right then I could start looking at like

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>what do you like? I would you know, Pinterest type likes?

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And how do you start doing that in mass? Yeah?

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>What's interesting about what you just said, right is maybe

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>this is how these subscription companies sustain themselves. Is they

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 1>need to diversify and filling the holes between the shows

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>we watch between the boxes that arrive, right, how do

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you start to what you've said on many shows previous

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Alexas like, how do you market to the whole person?

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And so if you're a Birch Box subscriber and I

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>continue to be a Rachel Zoe subscriber, I only get

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that box once a quarter. So how are you filling

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in the gaps? Are you driving me to watch more

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>content on Rachel Zoe? How do you extend the shelf

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>life of my relationship with you beyond just the box

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to make me a brand up? Because I mean, if

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you look, okay, Prime is the best example of this.

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>And Bezo said years ago when he started Prime's like

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Prime is the sticky to Amazon, meaning it is the

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>actual glue that holds subscribers to buying on Amazon. It's

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>only increased. I actually can't imagine my life without Prime,

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and I watch Prime content. So I watch Man in

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the High Castle. I love Man in the High Castle.

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I watch a ton of content on Amazon. I watched

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>movies on Amazon. You buy everyday products on Amazon? Me too. Yeah.

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So the interesting thing about Amazon and what you say,

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>how Prime has become the glue and they've really been

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a product first company that then is then able to

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>permeate and move into other industries because everything comes back

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to that transaction, right. They make it whole, They make

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it real. At the end of the day, whatever they're

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>talking to me about or interaction or an action, can

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>go buy, watch, etcetera. One of our followers hit on

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Amazon is his favorite brand, but why

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>don't they do more innovative marketing um and this particular

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Twitter followers says, I don't like the answer, quote unquote.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>They don't have to, so I think the question is

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>how what are you defining as you know, marketing They

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>do alexa right, advertising, They absolutely have a storefront that

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is constantly marketing new products and new content. Amazon dot com, Yes,

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>or smile dot Amazon dot com, which I thought was

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>easy and brilliant. It's like, oh, I'm gonna buy more

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>products because it's actually going to go to these charitable

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>organizations and associates. You. It makes you feel good about

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>what you're buying, even if you're buying something that's like,

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, polluting the world, like diapers, which I buy

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Yeah, I mean I get what this

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>person is saying, but I don't know that Amazon necessarily

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>needs to market in the way traditional companies do because

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>their technology and continual pursuit of innovation as a tech

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>company as a product to me, captures more attention in

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the headlines than is necessarily required by a brand that

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>has to pay for that in terms of advertising. And

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>so I'll just show you some of the chickiness of

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>our followers. But can we also say something like, there's

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a big difference between marketing and advertising, and we're talking

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>about innovative advertising. I don't really think they need to

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>have innovative advertising. Oh and by the way, didn't Burger

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>King not have an ad that spoke literally straight to

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>an audio home assistant? Yes, I mean, like it's happening

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. And what they've done is they've

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>rooted themselves into the absolute doesn't home audio assistance. It

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>just it doesn't matter. Like they've rooted themselves into the

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>cultural zeitgeist. Right. So it's like, you know, they're going

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to be advertisers that are advertising Amazons services and products

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 1>and technology and Google or not. At the end of

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the day, it's all about that. There's two big players

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and audio home assistance. The biggest one right now is Amazon,

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>what's interesting is that just to kind of give some

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>suggestions if Jeff Bezos might be listening. Um, one of

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>our followers said, Jeff Bezos is too busy planning his

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>deliveries to the moon to do any coal marketing, to

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.199
<v Speaker 1>which our other listeners said, so make a fly Me

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Moon music video shot from an Amazon drone,

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>which I like. All right, well, let's move on to

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a different type of cult subscription, and that is the

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>rise of the independent class studios. So Brittany Casteen at

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>agency Exect on Twitter asks the rise of studios and

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>how their business models work, soul Cycle, exhal spa, everybody fights,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, and how class past saw an opportunity. Her

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>question really is how does that model also sustain itself?

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>And why are people so obsessed with independent fitness studios.

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting, you know, how are they gonna continue

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to survive? I think they're going to expand into totally

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>different areas. Is all about like spirituality, but they're doing

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in the fashion category right, So here's why I'm obsessed. Um,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I just read a brilliant article about why soul cycle succeeds,

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's because soul Cycle does not consider itself a

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>fitness studio. Soul Cycle considers itself a brand experience, right.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the founders of soul Cycle started the business presumably,

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and I believe I've read this on multiple occasions, because

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they were obsessed with the particular type of community that

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>spinning created and then built the product into that. In

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>my in my opinion, like if I was sitting in

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the room when that was found that it was like

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>paying attention to everything from the sign in process to

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the candles that I use. So like Peltan Wright has

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>done this amazing thing. You have a sense of community.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Now put the soul Cycle brand on the Pelton products, right, yeah,

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you can buy a sole Cycle bike. They're totally going

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>after that. I mean, but I think it's what's interesting

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is going outside of the studio and where that feeling

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of community extends. That's where they're going to happen. I

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>always thought it was interesting, like why more brands and

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know that it was ever in the

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>roadmap for sole Cycle, why more brands didn't penetrate the studio.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And I actually respect and appreciate that they held the

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>line on brands permeating their community what do you mean products?

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Why wasn't you know, um, a towel brand like in

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>their sponsoring what you wipe your face off on the bike.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Why wasn't there an integration from you know, a smoothie

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>bar or whatever the And I appreciate that. There was

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>never this feeling of being sellout and penetration. It was

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>just about that community. And so no matter where you go,

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.079
<v Speaker 1>that experience is consistent. They're branching into content. That's a

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>deep fanaticism that I'm talking. They're branching into content um,

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>which I think is brilliant. They have a great campaign

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>out right now. They do different events throughout the year

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 1>UM that encourage riding but also a community. And they

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>branched into clothing, which I own way too much of.

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>So really, if you look at everything we just talked about,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it's really some form of subscription or membership, right, and

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're a member of Soul Cycle. You

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>know to subscribe, but you feel like you're a member. Yeah,

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And what's interesting about that if we take it one

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>step further, so brands and product focused companies have popped

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>up around subscription. We're starting to see it permeate into

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 1>media companies where people for the first time almost really

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>want to go back behind the paywall, and not because

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to be exposed to add they're going

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>back behind the paywall and a subscription model because they

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>want access, and so that synergy exists. And what what's

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>equally interesting is that now we're seeing brands, not like

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 1>product brands and subscription but actual brands who don't necessarily

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>have something to sell um in terms of what the

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>community is meant to do. So you look at things

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 1>like the Nike Run Club. I mean, presumably you're wearing

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Nike sneakers when you go to those when are apparable

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>when you go to those events, it's not what it's about.

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You have brand standing up museums, hotels, dinner parties, music,

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>this music. So this idea of subscription and membership. I

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think something that you were talking about with your Soul

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Cycle fanaticism is that there's a now Soul Cycles built

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>such a strong brand and you have such a strong

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>relationship with it, you want to see it grow and

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you actually want to experience how you feel when you're

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in Soul Cycle or you come out of Soul Cycle

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 1>in other parts of your life. That's a huge opportunity.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So to the brand marketers out there, don't count out experience, subscription, membership,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately, above all community. So with that, we'll be

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>right back with a Mother's Day special. Welcome back, everybody.

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>We have a special segment on this episode, and it's

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>all about the mama's, our mothers. We're calling them for

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day, asking them what their favorite brands are and

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>why why. You know, if I was a brand though,

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I would love this unfiltered perspective because they haven't. Right,

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.080

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it so deeply. They're not in a hurry. Okay, do

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.760

<v Speaker 1>You really liked him, not like's not like a romantic relationship, like,

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but she know about his kids and his whole family. Well,

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what I like about them? For the ball,

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not crazy about credit, but I like the incentives

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that they give. That's the seventies hit bian you. Yeah,

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I guess so rewards. So you love the product, So

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I love the product. Yeah. And I like the online

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>ease of their app because I can get all the

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>information I need. I can do everything I need to do,

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and I don't even have to leave my house to

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>do it. I can deposit, I can do all that stuff.

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.439
<v Speaker 1>But it's fast and it's easy. And the thing I

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 1>love about them is they keep improving the product, Like

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 1>they keep improving their app, and they keep asking could

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 1>we do it better? What would you like? You actually

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>paid more attention to their app than I did when

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 1>they first started it. She's like, you can deposit the

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>check from your house, Like, no, I'm going in the bank, Alexa.

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is amazing. And we love the work

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that Kris and Lemco, who's the cmo gg over at

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>chase um is doing to particularly target millennials and bring

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>younger people into the fold. But I think it's encouraging

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to hear, and we'll have to share this with her. Hey, look,

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not just for millennials. You've got an older demographic

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 1>who also loves to bank um conveniently, and that might

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>just be from their comfort of their home, not necessarily

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>from being on the go. And I think that that's

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>an interesting, you know, parallel for them to think about.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're just the queen of consumer research. What else

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you got going? There's one more? Okay? Uh mail online?

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Who mail online? It helps me read the pulse of

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the cultural norms. So that's what I look at it.

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I look at it for the big picture. Mail online

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.400
<v Speaker 1>for the big picture. Mom. I love that no one

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>else would say that. Maybe people would say that. I mean,

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not far behind my personal and the big picture

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>does include the Kardashians. Let's just be clear. It's got

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a big picture. I mean, if you girls have an hour,

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we could talk about branding in the Kardashians. Oh well,

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.479
<v Speaker 1>that might be a special episode between you and I.

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we do. My mom would tell you

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.360

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>ft nothing, She's a little bit, but she might be

<v Speaker 1>more spitfire than me, for sure. For sure. Okay, I'm

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>let's call Barb. It's gonna be a little bit different

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>on the total energy. Hi Laura, Mom, Hi Mom, let Barb.

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>How are you good? How are you girls tonight? Mom,

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you're on a special Mother's Day episode of at Landia.

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome a D A D. She just made an Italian

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>land Well, Mom, you're on a special episode. We just

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 1>got off the phone with Alexa's mom, who told us

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 1>about some of her favorite brands, and want to hear

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>from you. What are the things that you have been

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>most loyal to or obsessed with or obsessed with? Okay,

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in my fifty nine plus years, I have been obsessed

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:41.439
<v Speaker 1>with the clinicque she called it. She knew you were

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.880
<v Speaker 1>going to say clinic. If there's one thing I remember

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 1>growing up, it is that green freaking box and you

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>having that silver lipstick, same color for as long as

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what's the name of the color? Mom? Did move by?

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Where do you buy it? Mom? I was a loyal

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Macy Ease girl, but now I've been going to Alta.

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh why why the switch? Well? Alta does offer me

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>points on my purchase, so I always use my coupons,

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>but I can use my points for other things on

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>my purchases. Weren't we saying you're a makeup fanatic? So

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the show Barbed, Laura and I were talking

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.400
<v Speaker 1>about how Laura's like a makeup fanatic, where I am

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>like completely the opposite, and I think the apple does

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>not fall far from the tree on this axis. Skincare,

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you're more of a blushed girl. Mom, I'm definitely a bronzer.

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>She's a tenderheart girl. Um, she has far fair too.

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I like happy. Um. Actually I use aromatic, but it's

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>really it's tented, almost like the truly oil of the seventies. Okay,

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 1>we just talked to my mom and we're like, Mom,

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 1>you're a hippie, Barb, you also are a child of

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the seventies. Mom, what are things? Mom? And there's somebody

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 1>who's not on social media. How do you discover new things? Um?

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Probably male like direct mailers, circulars that come to the house,

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:23.199
<v Speaker 1>or when I'm shopping, you know, store displays. Do you

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.679
<v Speaker 1>talk to your friends about it? Absolutely? One of my

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>best friends uses clinique as well. They stick together, Yes,

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>stick together? Mom? When when when did you cancel your

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:43.640

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:49.040

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>are you know, you know what to like being in education.

<v Speaker 1>back with those shirts. That's a property of Nebraska. She

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 1>would come home with that. She's like four of them. Meanwhile,

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>G G and I would be on the Hollywood Hunt.

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys would be in l A and the Armenian

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.480
