00:00:00
welcome to the first installment of the
00:00:03
conversion optimization Master Class I'm
00:00:05
Brian Massey and I'm going to be your
00:00:07
instructor
00:00:08
now the first question you're probably
00:00:10
asking is what's with a lab coat
00:00:13
well it's not a gimmick it's not an
00:00:16
accident for sure I don't wear it just
00:00:18
because of its slimming effects I wear
00:00:21
it because science told me to
00:00:24
there's an arm of study called enclosed
00:00:28
cognition and it is the study of the
00:00:31
systematic influence that clothes have
00:00:34
on the wearer and the people around him
00:00:37
and the scientists have specifically
00:00:39
studied the lab coat and here's what
00:00:42
they found
00:00:43
when I'm wearing a lab coat I'm going to
00:00:46
score significantly higher on cognitive
00:00:48
tests
00:00:49
than if I'm wearing my street clothes
00:00:52
and this is interesting too because if I
00:00:55
put on the lab coat and I'm told it's an
00:00:57
arch mock I won't score as well on those
00:01:00
cognitive tests but I will rate myself
00:01:03
higher as a creative person
00:01:06
that's very interesting so when I put
00:01:08
the lab coat on I essentially think I'm
00:01:11
smarter than I really am
00:01:13
and the scientists have also studied the
00:01:16
effects of Uniforms on people and
00:01:19
somebody in a uniform carries more
00:01:22
weight than people who are listening to
00:01:24
them will take what they say with more
00:01:27
importance they'll believe it they'll be
00:01:30
more willing to act on it
00:01:32
so when I'm wearing the lab coat not
00:01:34
only do I think I'm smarter than I am
00:01:35
but you think I'm smarter than I am this
00:01:39
is just an example of how we can use
00:01:41
Behavioral Science to our advantage this
00:01:43
is a win-win for me what I'm going to do
00:01:46
for you today and for the rest of this
00:01:48
master class is I'm going to show you
00:01:51
how to use science to get this unfair
00:01:53
Advantage as well how to use science in
00:01:56
your everyday
00:01:57
decisions whether you're a marketer a
00:02:00
business owner a product manager
00:02:02
experimentation is the name of the game
00:02:05
and with just a few simple pointers I
00:02:09
know I can have you there making
00:02:11
decisions every day instead of guessing
00:02:14
and
00:02:15
for those of you that got into marketing
00:02:18
for the creative side of things who got
00:02:21
into it because you really wanted to
00:02:23
communicate and connect with people the
00:02:26
good news is that data will actually let
00:02:28
you be more creative it will let you
00:02:31
take more chances
00:02:32
this behavioral data is like a safety
00:02:35
net under what you're doing
00:02:37
today I'm going to talk about why
00:02:40
Behavioral Science is changing the shape
00:02:42
of the way we design marketing campaigns
00:02:46
one of the most important things I'm
00:02:47
going to cover today is why this
00:02:49
behavioral data is fundamentally
00:02:51
changing our design process why it's
00:02:54
changing the way that we design
00:02:56
campaigns and websites and web pages ads
00:03:00
and emails and even social media content
00:03:03
I'm going to show you why this is so
00:03:06
important that more of us in marketing
00:03:08
and Communications product management
00:03:11
business management are schooled in the
00:03:14
ways of science you are aware that
00:03:18
you're involved in a conversion
00:03:19
optimization master class and the data
00:03:21
is at the heart of that that says
00:03:24
something about you now I could have
00:03:25
called this uh how to make a million
00:03:27
dollars designing High converting
00:03:29
landing pages might have even had more
00:03:32
students than I've already got but they
00:03:34
would have been the wrong students
00:03:36
there is no one in this class that can't
00:03:39
do science in the service of their
00:03:41
visitors and their customers no one I've
00:03:43
just seen it too many times when we've
00:03:46
been working with a customer for a while
00:03:47
we send the team a lab coat we say
00:03:49
they've earned their lab code and we
00:03:51
have sent hundreds of them now you can
00:03:54
do this
00:03:55
so why are things different why is there
00:03:58
going to be a fundamental shift in the
00:04:00
way you design your campaigns after you
00:04:02
take this class
00:04:05
in 1965 a guy named Gordon Moore wrote a
00:04:08
paper and in it he postulated that the
00:04:11
number of transistors we can fit onto a
00:04:13
microchip would double every year
00:04:16
now the semiconductor people were really
00:04:18
happy about this because this would mean
00:04:20
that the chips would become twice as
00:04:23
fast and would cost half as much to
00:04:26
manufacture
00:04:27
there were naysayers but decades later
00:04:31
we have Moore's Law still in effect the
00:04:34
number of transistors that you can fit
00:04:36
on a chip is doubling about every 18
00:04:38
months even at geometries that are
00:04:42
approaching the size of atoms
00:04:44
so what does this have to do with
00:04:46
marketing how is this affecting
00:04:48
Communications
00:04:50
well Gordon's law has driven some
00:04:53
technologies that we can now take
00:04:55
advantage of
00:04:56
for example
00:04:58
we have cloud computing we can now for
00:05:01
just a few pennies
00:05:03
requisition a server in the cloud we
00:05:05
don't have to go out and buy boxes and
00:05:07
Big Racks of space and shove them in and
00:05:10
cool them and maintain them
00:05:12
now
00:05:14
entrepreneurs are now using this cloud
00:05:16
computing to create amazing testing
00:05:19
tools which I'm going to be sharing with
00:05:20
you throughout this master class
00:05:23
and the sensors like in our laptops the
00:05:27
quality of the webcam that's in a
00:05:29
typical laptop is incredible so
00:05:31
incredible in fact that we can now do
00:05:33
eye tracking studies for with people
00:05:36
instead of using expensive infrared
00:05:38
cameras these are just a few of the
00:05:40
examples that are enabling us
00:05:43
to do more
00:05:45
give us better tools and allow us to
00:05:48
experiment faster more easily and more
00:05:52
cheaply than we ever could we're in a
00:05:55
world of abundant behavioral data now
00:05:58
back in the old days when behavioral
00:06:01
data was hard to come by when we had to
00:06:03
requisition a room and bring in a bunch
00:06:05
of people and ask them questions study
00:06:08
them for a day
00:06:10
we had a higher expensive researchers to
00:06:13
go out and do market research for us
00:06:15
data wasn't that abundant and the design
00:06:18
approach reflected that we would do all
00:06:22
this research
00:06:23
use that to inform our decisions as the
00:06:26
whole team then went out and created the
00:06:29
copy and the designs the positioning and
00:06:32
how we're going to talk about our
00:06:34
products how we're going to design our
00:06:35
campaigns media everything was driven
00:06:39
from this initial bunch of expensive
00:06:41
research in other words a lot of people
00:06:43
had to make assumptions based on that
00:06:46
large body of initial research
00:06:49
that's when it's hard to come by that's
00:06:51
when it's expensive we don't have to do
00:06:53
that anymore
00:06:54
unfortunately we've hung on to that same
00:06:57
design process even though data isn't
00:07:00
scarce anymore
00:07:02
whenever we're going to do a website
00:07:04
redesign or whenever we're going to do a
00:07:06
new campaign we tend to start off doing
00:07:07
a whole bunch of research at the
00:07:09
beginning
00:07:10
and then making a lot of decisions based
00:07:12
on that research throughout the design
00:07:14
process
00:07:16
this can have unhappy consequences let
00:07:19
me give you an example
00:07:22
in 2014 a British retailer called
00:07:25
markson Spencer launched a new website
00:07:29
they'd spent two years on it and 150
00:07:33
million British pounds it's about 180
00:07:35
million US dollars
00:07:37
that's a lot of cheddar
00:07:39
in 2013 I checked their financials and
00:07:42
13 of the revenue of this 10 billion
00:07:45
British pound company
00:07:48
was done through the website
00:07:50
that makes it about a 1.5 billion dollar
00:07:53
online business so the 180 million
00:07:56
dollars might have been Justified when
00:07:58
they launched
00:08:00
the ux community said huh I think that
00:08:02
this might work everything looks pretty
00:08:04
good to us
00:08:05
the customers had a different opinion
00:08:07
after the launch of the site there was
00:08:09
an eight percent drop in sales they were
00:08:11
losing 10 million dollars a month and
00:08:15
that doesn't count the loss of brand
00:08:17
value in the marketplace the
00:08:19
disappointed people that came to that
00:08:20
site
00:08:22
so what happened here
00:08:24
I wasn't there I don't know specifically
00:08:26
but I can speculate that the agency went
00:08:29
through the traditional old style design
00:08:31
process in which they did a whole lot of
00:08:33
research on the front end
00:08:35
and then made a whole lot of assumptions
00:08:38
tens of thousands of some assumptions
00:08:40
about what should be on the side how it
00:08:42
should be presented what it should say
00:08:44
what the brand positioning should be all
00:08:47
done without testing and so they were
00:08:50
surprised when this incredible
00:08:52
investment rolled out the door and
00:08:55
started reducing sales
00:08:57
this isn't an isolated occurrence either
00:08:59
although disclosure of these sorts of
00:09:01
things is pretty rare in 2012 Finish
00:09:04
Line launched a new website right before
00:09:07
the holiday shopping season here's what
00:09:10
it looked like on November the 12th
00:09:14
and here's what it looked like on
00:09:15
November the 19th quite a change
00:09:19
completely different look and feel very
00:09:21
stylized not a lot of copy only really
00:09:25
relying on pictures to carry the mail
00:09:27
emphasis on content marketing
00:09:31
um
00:09:32
very very fancy you would think that
00:09:35
this would be a big win for them
00:09:37
well it didn't work out so well because
00:09:40
they had lost three million dollars
00:09:42
within the first few weeks of launching
00:09:45
this website it wasn't good for the
00:09:47
executives involved either
00:09:49
and they were smart enough at least to
00:09:52
have saved an old copy of the site on a
00:09:55
server somewhere so that when it became
00:09:57
too painful they could simply relaunch
00:10:00
the old site and it went back to the way
00:10:02
it was
00:10:04
but again the culprit was an agency with
00:10:07
a great idea collected some data made
00:10:10
some assumptions but you can get that an
00:10:13
agency very excited about their new
00:10:15
design could Foster a little
00:10:17
confirmation bias in other words they
00:10:19
see in the data the things they want to
00:10:21
see because they're so excited about
00:10:23
their cool new shoe pictures
00:10:25
this is the old design process
00:10:29
launch and see
00:10:31
we do a bunch of research at the
00:10:33
beginning we make a whole lot of
00:10:34
assumptions throughout the development
00:10:36
process and it's only at the end
00:10:39
when we launch the thing after we spent
00:10:42
the whole budget that we can really get
00:10:44
some good behavioral data it's called
00:10:47
launching
00:10:50
in a world where data is abundant like
00:10:54
we live in now the design process
00:10:56
changes
00:10:57
sure we want to start off with that kind
00:11:00
of research on the beginning we want to
00:11:02
develop those personas we want to do the
00:11:04
marketing studies we want to do the
00:11:06
questionnaires we want to have a good
00:11:08
idea of the direction that we want to go
00:11:10
with this
00:11:11
but instead of doing it all at once and
00:11:13
that being the last we do we get to test
00:11:16
our way experiment our way into the
00:11:19
right solution so we start off with our
00:11:22
research and then we discuss how we're
00:11:25
going to position it and from there we
00:11:27
do a study of the different kinds of
00:11:29
copy
00:11:30
they could drive that point home
00:11:32
then we have the final copy we can do an
00:11:36
image study choose several images that
00:11:38
we believe
00:11:39
communicates on a page for the brand in
00:11:43
general and study find out which of
00:11:45
those images is going to have the
00:11:46
greatest impact wireframes this is
00:11:49
usually where design agencies start hey
00:11:50
we're redesigning the website oh we'll
00:11:52
give you some wireframes before
00:11:54
positioning and before copying
00:11:56
wireframes come in later now we start
00:11:58
talking about how we're going to present
00:12:00
the information the copy and the images
00:12:01
that we've developed on each of these
00:12:04
pages
00:12:05
so that we can deliver the best result
00:12:08
designers should be like draftsman they
00:12:12
should be guiding the visitors eyes to
00:12:14
the important parts of the page we can
00:12:17
persuade with copy we can persuade with
00:12:19
images we cannot persuade with design
00:12:23
all we can do is make the copy and
00:12:25
images more persuasive or less
00:12:29
persuasive
00:12:30
so wireframes then we study the layout
00:12:33
we can do some eye tracking studies to
00:12:34
make sure that visitors eyes are getting
00:12:36
the important information on each of
00:12:38
those pages then we do mock-ups now that
00:12:41
we have mock-ups we can start compiling
00:12:43
data from panels and seeing which is
00:12:47
going to really move the needle the most
00:12:50
if there's a significant difference
00:12:51
between two mock-ups we want to go with
00:12:53
the winner right
00:12:55
bring that all together do the final
00:12:57
draft launch the campaign launch the
00:13:01
website and then we can start collecting
00:13:03
that delicious behavioral data that is
00:13:06
based on our visitors to our website
00:13:09
this is the new design metaphor this is
00:13:13
the new way
00:13:16
um
00:13:17
and I hesitate to call it the new way
00:13:20
because we're using old techniques
00:13:22
techniques that Direct Mail marketers
00:13:24
have been using for decades but we're
00:13:27
using it in a way that reinforces our
00:13:29
entire design process and doesn't make
00:13:32
us reliant on a few copywriters
00:13:35
designers creative directors and ux
00:13:38
people what we're going to do and what
00:13:40
I'm going to show you how to do in this
00:13:41
master class
00:13:43
is expand the sample size of their
00:13:47
decision makers involved in your design
00:13:49
process and and we're going to do it
00:13:51
while saving money and saving time can
00:13:54
you imagine that I hope you can
00:13:57
here's an example of a company that took
00:13:59
this design process to Heart they wanted
00:14:01
to Rebrand wasp barcode Sales inventory
00:14:04
and asset tracking software to other
00:14:07
businesses their primary call to action
00:14:09
was get a demo talk to one of our sales
00:14:12
people because when that happened they
00:14:14
sold a lot more software
00:14:16
they wanted the brand though to be
00:14:18
refreshed they didn't like the kind of
00:14:20
the old stodgy brand and felt that they
00:14:23
could really look more modern and and
00:14:26
support sales in the efforts that they
00:14:28
were making
00:14:30
over the time we worked with them
00:14:32
they designed a brand that was vibrant
00:14:36
and new and fresh
00:14:38
to give you an idea of how we did this
00:14:39
here are the steps that we've been
00:14:41
through in redesigning several of the
00:14:43
important pages on their site
00:14:45
we started off
00:14:47
by designing a landing page for some of
00:14:49
their paid search ads we wanted to learn
00:14:51
from that traffic without affecting the
00:14:53
rest of the site and what we learned
00:14:55
from that we brought over to the first
00:14:57
product on their site
00:15:00
a few Tri trial and errors there and we
00:15:04
moved on to their demo Landing form and
00:15:07
we were able to test that to a
00:15:09
significant increases so we took what we
00:15:11
learned there and brought it over to the
00:15:14
other product pages by that time we were
00:15:16
confident enough to really change the
00:15:18
home page and it gained an entirely new
00:15:21
look and feel we took another swing and
00:15:24
a bolder design and on each of the pages
00:15:27
found those combinations that worked now
00:15:29
not all of them did we were able to walk
00:15:32
away from those that didn't but this is
00:15:34
the power of the design process that
00:15:36
we're talking about data driven design
00:15:40
for some reason I don't like that data
00:15:42
driven design it isn't data driven it's
00:15:44
creative driven
00:15:45
supported by data the other beauty of a
00:15:48
campaign that is pretty complex like
00:15:51
this
00:15:52
is that you get to start winning early
00:15:55
on for a website design process you
00:15:58
spend months working on the site and
00:16:02
then you launch all your assumptions at
00:16:03
once
00:16:04
when you do an evolutionary design like
00:16:06
this when you use new design metaphors
00:16:10
you get to start winning as you're going
00:16:12
so in the case of Los Barco we increased
00:16:15
their leads by 250 percent
00:16:17
within three months of starting the
00:16:19
redesign not even being done
00:16:22
so as we learned we improved and you can
00:16:25
expect the same thing to happen to you
00:16:27
at the heart of all this is ideas and we
00:16:31
tend to discard our ideas when we don't
00:16:34
think we're going to be able to convince
00:16:36
somebody that holds the purse strings
00:16:38
that they're good ideas
00:16:41
when we look back at the campaigns that
00:16:43
really moved us the things maybe they
00:16:45
got us into communication and marketing
00:16:47
and maybe even into entrepreneurship
00:16:50
those were daring unexpected and well
00:16:55
who would have known if they would have
00:16:56
worked
00:16:57
they solved a lot of day because they
00:17:00
were the boss's idea or there was the
00:17:02
force of sheer will of some person's
00:17:04
personality that pushed them through the
00:17:06
organization for every one of those
00:17:09
amazing campaigns there are thousands of
00:17:12
campaigns that failed
00:17:15
intuition can only get us so far
00:17:18
I'm going to encourage you to start
00:17:20
collecting all of the ideas that you
00:17:23
have and all of the ideas that your
00:17:24
organization has and all of the ideas
00:17:27
that you're going to be generating as
00:17:29
you go through this master class
00:17:31
I'm going to even give you the
00:17:32
spreadsheet visit this URL
00:17:36
grab the spreadsheet keep it around on
00:17:39
your computer anywhere you need so that
00:17:42
when those ideas come
00:17:44
you can write them down just enter them
00:17:46
into the hypothesis column on the
00:17:49
spreadsheet when the boss comes in and
00:17:52
says I think we need a website refresh
00:17:54
you can say I will make sure that we
00:17:57
write that down because
00:17:59
when you start drilling down and turning
00:18:01
these ideas into hypotheses that you can
00:18:03
collect data on you realize that there's
00:18:06
a whole lot more under that you have to
00:18:08
start asking questions like really what
00:18:11
makes you think that this is where data
00:18:13
starts to create a little bit of a fence
00:18:16
now when I say a fence you might think
00:18:18
oh well there's something that's going
00:18:20
to block creativity there's something
00:18:21
that's designed to keep things out
00:18:23
there's something that's designed to
00:18:25
keep things the same
00:18:26
but if I tell you a story of a group of
00:18:29
children playing in a field a wide open
00:18:31
field
00:18:33
and one of them says hey guys
00:18:35
I heard that there was a Golden Globe in
00:18:38
the field somewhere and if we find it
00:18:39
we'll be rich
00:18:41
what are the children going to do
00:18:43
well they're going to travel around in a
00:18:45
little Clump close together
00:18:49
if they come back the next summer into
00:18:50
the same field but it's been fenced in
00:18:53
let's say that the Rancher fenced it in
00:18:55
the guy says we should look for the
00:18:57
Golden Globe again
00:18:59
they're going to expand out all of them
00:19:02
to the edges of the fence because that
00:19:04
creates a space in which they can feel
00:19:07
safe expanding into and this is what
00:19:10
data is going to do for you and your
00:19:11
team it's going to allow them to expand
00:19:15
but not into dangerous territory the
00:19:19
data gives us really good guidance as to
00:19:22
how creative we can be and will free us
00:19:25
up so collect all of your ideas put them
00:19:28
into the spreadsheet we're going to talk
00:19:30
about those ideas on our call this week
00:19:33
and start to understand how we put these
00:19:36
into categories and buckets
00:19:39
that we can use to prioritize them
00:19:43
let's talk about the kind of hypotheses
00:19:44
that we'll see in a typical digital
00:19:46
campaign the first bucket is messaging
00:19:49
and value proposition this is anything
00:19:51
that has to do with the words and images
00:19:55
that we use to convey a message now by
00:19:58
images I mean everything from stock
00:20:01
photos
00:20:02
to video to animations anything that's
00:20:06
going to convey a value proposition on a
00:20:09
landing page on a website in an ad
00:20:12
all of these things need the support of
00:20:15
a strong value proposition
00:20:17
on a website your value proposition is
00:20:20
combined with the offer yeah 10 off
00:20:22
shoes but it's also composed of your
00:20:25
return policy or shipping policy your
00:20:28
guarantees and anything that makes you
00:20:31
special are you the low-cost leader are
00:20:34
you the high quality leader do you have
00:20:35
the largest selection
00:20:37
these are all part of your value
00:20:39
proposition and any hypothesis that
00:20:41
addressed the words and the images the
00:20:43
ways that you communicate your value
00:20:46
proposition or the value proposition of
00:20:49
a product or the value proposition of an
00:20:52
offer on a landing page fall into this
00:20:55
bucket messaging and value proposition
00:21:00
the next bucket is layout and ux as I
00:21:03
hinted at earlier this is the way that
00:21:06
we present information on a page in an
00:21:09
ad on a landing page on a website in an
00:21:12
email is the it's the layout it's the US
00:21:16
it's how the user can interface with the
00:21:19
information and it can span everything
00:21:21
from how a simple blog page is laid out
00:21:24
to convey the information in an article
00:21:27
all the way through to the checkout
00:21:30
process or the sign up process for your
00:21:33
product or your online service
00:21:36
so very important that the right
00:21:38
information being the right place on the
00:21:40
page and that the designer has used
00:21:42
their knowledge of positioning and
00:21:44
juxtaposition and
00:21:47
um font and color and white space and
00:21:50
negative space and all of those
00:21:52
designery things that we respect them
00:21:54
for in the service of communicating your
00:21:57
value proposition credibility and
00:22:00
Authority how good a job are you at
00:22:04
conveying that you are a credible
00:22:05
company that this is a credible product
00:22:08
and that you are an authority in your
00:22:11
Niche anytime we talk about how long
00:22:13
we've been in business anytime we talk
00:22:15
about how many customers we've served we
00:22:18
are building credibility and Authority
00:22:20
this is where proof becomes very
00:22:23
important
00:22:24
so even the design is important for
00:22:27
communicating credibility and Authority
00:22:29
we tend to give this bucket a little bit
00:22:32
too much weight
00:22:34
because most of the money we spend on
00:22:36
the website goes into the design the
00:22:38
design can only get it so far
00:22:41
social proof what social proof do you
00:22:44
have what evidence do you have that
00:22:46
other people have used your products and
00:22:47
been very very happy with them on an
00:22:50
e-commerce site typical social proof is
00:22:52
ratings and reviews on other sites
00:22:55
testimonials have you won any awards are
00:22:58
you a member of associations
00:23:00
these are all the things that can convey
00:23:02
in your campaigns that other people have
00:23:05
used you and loved you
00:23:08
finally security and risk reversal
00:23:10
hypotheses in this category speak to how
00:23:14
secure I feel how confident I feel and
00:23:17
it's everything from ensuring that if I
00:23:19
give you my credit card it's not going
00:23:20
to get hacked to if I make a bad
00:23:23
decision do I have any recourse and
00:23:25
what's it going to cost me so when
00:23:28
you've started putting ideas into your
00:23:30
spreadsheet you're going to want to put
00:23:31
them into one of these five buckets and
00:23:33
there's a column in the spreadsheet
00:23:35
already there configured for you to drop
00:23:37
this information beside each of those
00:23:40
ideas we'll call them hypotheses later
00:23:43
after we've done a little work on them
00:23:45
so is this hypotheses related to
00:23:47
messaging and value proposition is it
00:23:49
related to the ux and the layout is it
00:23:52
related to Authority and credibility is
00:23:54
it related to social proof or is it
00:23:57
related to security and risk reversal
00:24:00
this will start to give you a clue
00:24:02
number one as to what people think the
00:24:05
problem on your website is
00:24:07
and it will also give you a clue as to
00:24:10
where you should start prioritizing
00:24:13
hypotheses
00:24:15
ideas
00:24:16
for your next experiment we'll get there
00:24:20
don't worry about it
00:24:22
homework for today is to start filling
00:24:25
out this sheet and coming with five
00:24:28
hypotheses in each of these categories
00:24:31
if you're stuck just pick five in each
00:24:33
of these areas you may need to wander
00:24:35
around and say hey what are your ideas
00:24:38
for this campaign or what are your ideas
00:24:40
for improving the website
00:24:43
your team's going to love being heard
00:24:44
they're going to love the thought that
00:24:46
their ideas have shown up on a
00:24:48
spreadsheet somewhere and that they
00:24:49
won't be forgotten and you're going to
00:24:52
love that you get to hang on to these
00:24:53
ideas even The Crazy Ones you cannot do
00:24:56
any vetting of these ideas go ahead and
00:24:59
put The Crazy Ones on there we're going
00:25:01
to go through a process that's going to
00:25:03
ensure that the good ideas bubble to the
00:25:05
top and by good I mean those most likely
00:25:08
to generate more Revenue
00:25:10
and that those that aren't boiled to the
00:25:13
bottom
00:25:14
are you excited all right we'll see you
00:25:17
on the call this week the schedule is in
00:25:20
your email and be ready to talk about
00:25:23
the ideas that you started collecting
00:25:25
and any insights you have from what
00:25:27
buckets they're falling into
