@lovevalgeisler I'm curious!

What audiobooks have you been listening to that you really liked?

Is there anything podcasters could learn from those?

RT @adamlogic: Remember that one time a huge internet company rebranded/redesigned and the masses responded positively?

Change is hard.

RT @cklosowski: This is a great thread. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1085687498724990976

@adamlogic 😁

@ideasasylum They're not just in business, they're doing way better than the other shop (which has been around longer!)

Since opening, Barbershop A has:

- Doubled the number of barbers
- Gone from charging $29 to $38.
- Been featured multiple times in the paper
- Still "by apt only."

@ideasasylum I know it's the same market, because so many of us switched from cheap "walk-in" haircuts, to more expensive "you gotta book in advance" when this shop opened!

They ignited a desire in a group of people, and those people switched.

RT @waxpancake: pretty sure i'd use linkedin much more often if it had this jaunty logo

@waxpancake 😂

@earthlingworks @runako Yes! But the price testing we do with digital products basically follows the demand curve.

@earthlingworks @runako Eventually, econ folks will use that data to generate a demand curve – which illustrates how much customers are willing to pay for a given product.

It's a bit different with software (because quantity can be unlimited) but software still follows the basic principles I think.

@earthlingworks @runako That article also introducea how demand can be calculated.

@runako @earthlingworks Again, your ability to increase prices depends on demand!

In 2011, Netflix tried to raise prices and lost 1 million subscribers.

Recently, their product has become more inelastic (likely because of folks' desire for their original content), which has helped them raise prices.

@TyrelJohnson @Shpigford I haven't!

@TyrelJohnson @Shpigford For me, my cynicism didn't appear until I was older.

(As a young person I was quite earnest)

@earthlingworks Gotcha. You're more referring to this, right?

@maxalmonte14 Barbershop A!

@earthlingworks Got it. (And I agree)

Demand still plays a central role in that.

If you're moving upmarket, there has to be demand there for what you have.

And, there's a limit to that.

Example: Apple tried to go upmarket with an existing product (Apple Watch). https://qz.com/776065/the-gold-apple-watch-edition-is-no-longer-for-sale/

@jongold @jennschiffer I think about that line all the time!

RT @alanklement: Does this help describe JTBD better?

How should I change it?

@ryanevans They asked: "What do men these days want?"

Answer: a place where they can feel like a man, nostalgia, a place to talk about their life, a haircut so good it gets noticed, barbers with opinions about what hairstyle to wear.

@joeworkman @alanhoskins To me it's still bad UX.

I can also find music documentaries in iTunes' movie section.

I can also find music related television shows in iTunes' music section.

When I think: "I want to watch a documentary" I go to "Movies" not "Music."

@troypavlek nope. it's not just music stuff.
