There’s No Such Thing As an Impulse Purchase

Do you know the Jobs To Be Done customer interview format? Stewart Hillhouse, Head of Audience Growth at Customer Camp, explains what it is and how you can learn from it.

Impulse purchases are just a story we tell ourselves.

Stewart Hillhouse, Head of Audience 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.
