$200 in credit? Now I might just buy this :)
I do question AppSumo's longterm strategy. It seems like they are trying to make a deal so damn good by adding more and more stuff. But for me, I don't go so much by quantity as quality. Meaning, I'd sign up for $42 for $200 in twilio credit regardless of the other offers which aren't attractive to me. But there may be folks who would sign up for uservoice regardless of the other offers. So I guess appsumo may be shooting themselves in the foot by combining so many offers vs. just focusing on a kickass offer at a time.
- noahkagan 16y agoGreat comment. We've tried it both way. Just experimenting to see what people like most.. See past deals here: http://www.appsumo.com/previous http://www.appsumo.com/previous
- metamemetics 16y agoA thematic bundle seems necessary because people buy apps based on use case as tools. The consumer is exceedingly unlikely to have heard of randomly selected application_foo unless it has already been marketed successfully. Which defeats the benefits for app-makers of getting in on a promotional bundle. Groupon can get away with decreased items per bundle (1) at a higher frequency (daily) because: A) they have a ton of repeat viewers, B) each individual product use-case (ex. restaurant) is usually extremely obvious and non-specialized in appeal
- noahkagan 16y agoGood point. One thing that works out well with these bundles is we get to help some lesser known companies get discovered. One coming out shortly I'm really excited to promote is for http://healthmonth.com http://healthmonth.com
- zaidf 16y agoFair point. The solution may be somewhere in the middle: don't have one offer, but also don't have 20. Problem with having so many is it dilutes the value and makes AppSumo sound like one of the scammish offerings that offering 1,000 ebooks for $9.99.
