The screen recording was nice, but I don't think anyone got that far.

I have marketed a lot of products into "mature" spaces - Rev is one of them,
Valentina another, yet another is a 3D product called Vue. It is very
difficult, especially so when it isnt a $50K+ product (as ironic as that
might seem).

Mature spaces are very heavily influenced by a tribe of conservative buyers
that have big investments in their favored solution - and the opinions of
long standing tribal members. Just being  "fair and balanced" comes across
as a negative based on the "ear" that is predisposed to listen to negatives
that in turn validate their original, big investments. If you ever find
yourself creating a product to market into a mature market space - its good
to know.
