At what point did the market care for that?
- fucking_tragedy 8y agoThere's a niche market for such products, in which a high premium would be paid for a product that successfully meets the needs of its purchasers. Unfortunately, successfully is defined by the high floor of convenience provided by multibillion dollar companies, so I understand that it's tough to compete with that. I've participated in adjacent niche markets where consumers 1) most likely work in tech 2) have needs that 99.9% of people don't care about 3) are willing to pay a premium 4) have the means to pay that premium. It's too bad that there are so few businesses willing to tap into this market. Part of me believes this is a marketing issue, though. I've yet to see a campaign that really nails our core concerns and does so elegantly.
