Digging Deeper into Benefits 
_{Insights from Demand Curve}

Crafting compelling copy is not just about selling the product; it's about selling the outcome. Customers often seek more than what meets the eye; they're searching for the hidden perks that directly impact their lives. Here's how to unveil those benefits and strike a chord with your audience.

Discover the Hidden Desires 

The real magic happens when you go beyond surface-level features and explore the deeper, often hidden, benefits your product provides. For example, selling a trampoline isn’t just about promoting fun—it's about highlighting the peace parents gain while their kids are occupied. Understand that behind every purchase lies a desire or a problem that needs solving.

Identify the "Second-Order" Benefits 

To unlock the full potential of your copy, dig into the secondary advantages—what we call the "benefit of a benefit." Start by listing all the benefits and even the drawbacks of your product. Then, ask yourself, "What hidden benefit does this feature provide?" This exercise can reveal new angles to approach your marketing.

Examples of Second-Order Benefits

• Trampoline → Fun for kids → Peace for parents

• Sports Car → No back seats → No room for unwanted passengers

• Electric Car → No gas stations → No impact from fluctuating gas prices

• Dog Bed → Comfortable spot for pets → More bed space for owners

The Takeaway 

Next time you're crafting copy, think beyond the obvious. Look for the secondary benefits that truly resonate with your audience. This approach differentiates your product and makes your messaging more compelling and memorable. Remember, sometimes the gold lies in the second-order benefit. Keep digging—you might just find it.

Meme Marketing Magic

Memes aren’t just for laughs anymore—they’re a powerful tool for brands looking to connect with their audience in a relatable way. Here’s why using memes strategically can transform your marketing game.

Why Memes Matter

Memes are the modern-day equivalent of cultural transmission, easily spreadable and instantly recognizable. They tap into shared experiences and emotions, making them perfect for brands wanting to engage with audiences on a deeper level. Whether it’s a trending meme or a clever twist on a classic, memes have the power to resonate with your customers and make your brand memorable.

Build Relatability with Humor

Using memes to poke fun at common pain points or everyday frustrations can make your brand appear more human and approachable. This tactic works best when the humor is aligned with your brand’s voice and resonates with your target audience. It’s about showing your customers you understand their struggles—like using a meme to humorously depict the stress of social media marketing, prompting them to consider your solution.

Leverage Timely Relevance

Memes that tap into current events or seasonal themes can boost engagement significantly. Align your meme marketing with holidays or special events to catch the wave of public interest. For example, create memes around major events or trending topics to capture attention and drive interaction.

Educate Through Entertainment

Memes aren’t just for fun; they can also deliver valuable lessons. By integrating educational content into a meme, you make the information more digestible and memorable. Think of it as wrapping the lesson in a layer of humor—this approach keeps your audience engaged and informed, all while fostering a connection with your brand.

The Takeaway

Incorporate memes thoughtfully to connect with your audience, make them laugh, and most importantly, make them feel understood. When executed well, meme marketing can lead to stronger brand loyalty, higher engagement, and ultimately, more conversions. Just remember, authenticity is key—forced or awkward memes will likely miss the mark.
