Hey everyone,
Beyond the health implications, this pandemic is clearly causing an economic crisis. We’re hopeful that by shedding light on products and services with excess demand and insufficient supply, businesses can more easily focus on the things that matter most and be better stewards to the world in this time of crisis.
We’ve raced to put this data together and are eager for feedback on how we can adapt this tool to be most useful!
Timely and fascinating. Provides so much insight into how people are occupying themselves right now. This is how we prepare for the apocalypse--by learning new ukulele songs and dusting off our bread making skills. While obviously buying bulk ammo.
I do think what is needed is some measure of the importance of the change--i.e. a metric representing the baseline volume. Statistics differentiates between *significance* (enough relative change that it is unlikely to be due to randomness) and *importance* (is this absolute change material to the user?). Obviously importance here is highly subjective. Still--how to compare a +27% spike in Desk activity to a +485% spike in Bidet? Were bidets a popular topic before social distancing?
Absolutely love the stats and trends delivered by the Glimpse team. The analytical tools they've built able to picks up on the most human trends on time (I am a subscriber of several "rising trends" startups and the content Glimpse is delivering is the best).
I am really puzzled on providing feedback on "how we can adapt this tool to be most useful" as It's not clear what's the final goal hear - is it to build awareness about Glimpse or pure altruistic goal to provide the data to those businesses on what's on-demand free of charge to serve the community? Either way it's has to be some sort of awareness / PR campaign - Just put a few pitches together picking up on some valuable trends and share it with major media outlets. I am sure with the tech and content team you have in place it will be a piece of cake to sell it. (Cliff Lerner in his book Explosive Growth describe the exact strategy on how you can do it).
Other than that, honestly, the product/products you are delivering are amazing and as long as there will be more traction with media I am sure you'll get all the awareness you need.
Love Glimpse and have been a long time supporter of Noah and team. Not only is Glimpse applicable and useful in a moment of crisis like this, I always discover and learn new products and phenomena from their regular emails. If you're not a subscriber, you're missing out!
