Impulse purchases are just a story we tell ourselves.

Stewart Hillhouse, Head of Growth at Customer Camp, joins the show to tell us why. He explains: it’s actually a series of experiences that ultimately trigger customers to purchase. And in the end, “impulse purchase” is the excuse given in the event a purchase doesn’t work out.

Stew and I also discuss:

  • Measuring success of his podcast
  • What to know about Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) customer interviews
  • How content fits into Customer Camps’ marketing strategy
  • And some little-known facts about trees. Yes, trees.

Show Notes

24:41 - Is there such a thing as an impulse buy? (See Stew’s Twitter thread)

29:42 - Stew takes us through his thought process behind his last major purchase.

33:04 - What Stew has learned from his last major purchase and whether his original need for the purchase was met.

35:03 - How content fits into the overall marketing strategy at Customer Camp.

39:41 - Measuring podcast success - why it’s essentially different depending on the type of podcast you’re creating.

43:38 - The future of marketing; with everything today being so screen-focused, what evolutions will we see in the upcoming years?
