Flowtown Blog: Why We Scrapped 3.5 Months Of Development

  • Dan Martell · 1 month ago
    I couldn't have said it better.

    Our goal as a company has always been to create things people want, and to be focused on quantitative (business metrics) and qualitative (customer interviews) feedback cycle.

    I'm personally super excited about the product pivot - and hope everyone will give it a try.

    Were pushing new features daily and listening very carefully.

    Please leave a comment with your thoughts.

    I can see some real benefit in the metrics and being able to segment based upon various social media activity.
    But these are things that interest marketing geeks like me, and I can see a marketing geek wanting this data within their current applications such as Infusionsoft.
    I must admit my own initial review was that the landing page creator could be useful as long as I could use my own email service/crm and integrate it with other systems.

    Count me as one of those disappointed about the direction away from the landing page tool. I had logged in on Sunday to set one up to harvest e-mail addresses from a Google adwords campaign.

    BUT.... until I'm willing to pay for a product (and I wasn't there yet), you're quite smart to pivot to where the pain is greatest. Best of luck on this new direction and I hope the landing page tool makes a reappearance soon.

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you for your feedback, it really means a lot. I would love to bring back the landing page tool "new and better" once we have the resources to allocate to it.

    Ping me via. email ethan (at) flowtown (dot) com and I'll be sure to keep you personally updated re: progress.

    Cheers.

    Ethan,

    I have to commend the transparent, clear discussion you've shared with your customers regarding a significant product change. This is a great sign of more things to come.

    Great video, and looking forward to point #2. :-)
