Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao
They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.
They don't. If you look into them it's entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It's literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the "women's" version is usually marked up for no reason.
I was joking but not really. It's what I would be doing if I were them.
Conservatives when they realise that LGBTQ people and racial minorities also have money and spend money
That's not fair to this dude, is face is a face of shock from wonder, not outrage.
Honestly, we need more genuine emotion like this on the internet.
But that said, yeah, regressives are the queens of pearl-clutching for no reason.
I only sell my axis-themed WW2 memorabilia flags to white men with hereditary or other baldness. They need to be at least
lifts arm with palm flat
This tall.
There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative
They probably decided that support among the "anti-woke" MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It's not their most profitable line, but it's not about that, anyway. It wasn't created to make profit; it's a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry's Razors, Harry's ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn't have to buy from Harry's. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry's for sure, that's what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy's Razors.
I see, thanks for the context!
Dr Pepper 10! It's not for women!
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn't even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
It's because they've conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
- "Voting" with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
- Giving money to "woke" companies harms you as an individual.
- Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let's break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to "woke" corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They're the voices of reason in a world that's all against you. Then, you'll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you'll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don't support the "woke" agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn't get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who's gonna buy? Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette's, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard... well, then you've got a good revenue stream.
They'll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn't surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
Because they're not in it for profit. It's a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their "successful business" to prove that they're correct. They'd still do it even if it wasn't profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
Cause it's probably a shit product and they have no USP other than "woke bad".
I just had a look at their website, it's pretty clear the whole thing is a pisstake. All part of the show.
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It's entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It's just classic conservative grifting
I mean, it's a real product, but it's pretty clear selling razors isn't the point.
It's also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that's the image.
Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo... Maybe that's an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.
