Humor for Growth: The Strategy You’re Missing
by Tom Orbach (24 mins)
Humor is a cost-effective strategy for product growth, making products more relatable and memorable, and driving word-of-mouth through positive associations.
Effective use of humor requires strategic deployment, such as in marketing, onboarding processes, and unexpected places like 404 error pages and product instructions, to foster user engagement and brand loyalty.
Inside jokes and industry-specific humor can create a sense of community and connection with the audience, while careful analysis and creativity can lead to viral marketing successes and increased user retention.
