Boosted's Ingenius Marketing Ploy
Step back!
Imagine, you're waiting for your extended battery from boosted - and it's due to arrive next week (yay!). You receive an e-mail from boosted and it says this:
Aha!
Smart. You see, they know you already have a spare battery. Why not carve $250 off the MSRP ($1250 vs. 999 and you'd have TWO boosted v2 d+ boards! wow eh? Amazing!
But it costs $1,000 USD + conversion (maybe $1400 CDN). I live on a budget. I don't make six figure income here. If I did, I would have bought 7 boosted boards because they can be super finicky bitches and love to randomly fuck with you. That's why Casey Neistat owns 15 of these bastards.
So instead, I punched myself to restrain the hand from going to the BUY NOW goddamn button. I just love how they added in small print "For a limited time... "
Remember? It's like proposing for marriage. You know that stuff is for a limited time. You can't just propose and keep a fiance for 20 years. I mean, come on. No woman is going to stick around for that.
But boosted? Those people are evil. They know their customers love their products. Infact, I'm dry humping my skateboard as I type this message.
I'll be back.
