I feel like Doug severely underestimates his popularity with how many MugMugs he got made lol. There are already more views on this video than MugMugs made in total.
nah views dont equate to sales. maybe like less than 1% would have the purchasing power + not crazy delivery fees + willing to buy. i wish i could buy a mug mug
I think it’s also the type of merch helped the sale, mugs can actually used as a daily item while plushies just sit there, so using the figure of plushies to estimate the mug sale is just not going to align. Also those two mug ads are truly amazing, would buy if the shipping fee is not so astronomically high.
Doug: Makes one of the most creative TH-camr merch in a long time Doug: Makes them super limited and exclusive Doug: Creates genuinely dope ass commercials to sell them Also Doug: "How did they sell out so fast?"
LTT makes products in the tens of thousands (even with basic plushies). TH-camrs seem to forget that their power is the ability to advertise. Which is why they get paid so much per advertisement deal. Doug should have made at least 10k.
I think he gets like 10000-12000 viewers on each stream and has like 2000 Twitch subscribers so he probably assumed that actual devoted DougDoug fans are the ones that watch his streams regularly and are subscribed to him on Twitch
I'm a photographers assistant, we get a surprising amount of people try to barge in and be apart of the shot, so a classic trick i've been told is tell people its a mayo commerical because ppl lose interest
17:39 This bit reminded me of the one Stanley Parable line about the hole “The problem is that you like holes to much! Not normal.”. It really makes doug and the Stanley parable writer seem connected in some kind of way…
@ethanbear360Imagine: before you go to pay for the product, the website shows an innocuous prompt “Do you believe?” (You have to pick to continue) and picking yes adds a 10-20$ tax to the product as “believer tax”. There would then be a checkbox to disable being a believer and would remove the tax. To fans, it would be a pretty funny way to add a tip to support Dougdoug a little bit extra, but would just be confusing to people who don’t know the joke.
Reason I didn’t buy the first wave: The 90’s commercial advertised it as being undrinkable. Reason I didn’t buy the second wave: It sold out in six hours, I was at work.
I can't believe Doug hired an actor just for his physical attractiveness to be the protagonist of his cologne ad, made them jump into a freezing pool thousands of times and didn't even give them credit. I'd say r/wehatedougdoug will hear about this but I'm sure the community has already let Doug know of his selfishness
imagine the two random polish guys somehow looking doug up and finding the photo of him drinking olive oil, in a thanos one pice swimsuit, with an italian flag animation green screened behind him.
i think the reason is that people that were on the edge of getting their mug didn’t know if they should get it. So when it was available again they decided they didn’t want to be left out and bought it!
Bought one and love it. It’s ridiculous. Idk why he doesn’t do more merch. It’s a great way to support, while getting something tangible out of it. And he’d make BANK
Sooo, this is coming from an accounting student that has studied some marketing AND psychology. At 13:00-14:00, it's basically a case of "it was a highly demanded product and people bought it extremely quickly". However, which is what I believe to be the part that Doug doesn't know, and thus he gets confused, is that most people do not expect something they see in a video to be sold out within a day or two. Most people go "ah sweet! A new merch item! I'll see what my account is at by the end of the month and, if I can afford it, I'll buy it!", because it's a new item and they don't expect it to sell out instantly. Then, because it sold out within two days, most people that actually wanted to buy the mug, but wanted to wait a bit first, realize that it's going to sell out extremely quickly once it gets restocked. I believe he could've gone up to 5000 mugs and it would've still sold out within a day, because the majority of people do not expect a "random" item to be sold as quickly and will thus wait a bit before buying it, especially on TH-cam, where most people only expect limited YouTooz items to sell out within a day. Anyways, this is just a big TH-cam frog fan with a DougDougMugMug (first batch) sharing their thoughts on the reason why it sold out way quicker the second time around!
Honestly, I first watched doug right after the first mugmug drop, was very amused by his content, and wanted a mugmug because for that price and quality, its really a great merch item compared to many others I’ve seen. Hence I woke up at 4am to purchase it right as it was released.
Part of the reason the mugs sold well the second time is there were probably people who kind of wanted the mug the first time around, but decided to save their money. And once they were gone in two days, they realized it would be neat to have such a coveted item. So the second time they popped up for sale, they didn't hesitate.
The 1st advertisement was so blunt and funny to me I made the purchase really quick (the shop layout made it even better). Even though I had to pay a total of $53 with shipping and toll/customs to get it to germany, i really enjoy having my dougdoug MugMug as it fits me very well. Its the first mug I ever purchased and as its indestructible, its gonna be my last I also didn't know that they were so limited or be sold out so fast. Apparently I randomly bought it in the right time without knowing that its not gonna be available some hours after lul
I feel like the reason they sold out so quickly the second time is because for the first 2500 it took two days for people to realize it was a thing they could buy and after that more and more people learned it existed and felt left out that they missed it. There was also the people who saw it in time but waited too long before deciding they wanted it, so during the second batch you had all these existing customers who already decided they wanted one and knew it would sell out fast, so they bought it in the first two hours. When you do a third batch you’ll probably experience something similar, but there’s no way of knowing how many people are waiting to buy one still without some kind of poll.
Tbh I'd buy it, I don't even watch on twitch. The first couple times I genuinely thought the mug was a joke but I really want that one. It's goofy and perfect
Hey Doug, real recommendation here, seeing how the market for the Mugs has grown from your first to second offerings, you should probably consider multiplying your overall mug production. I wouldn’t go as far as saying 30,000, as that may be overkill. But for your case somewhere between 3000 and 30,000 may serve your sales purposes well
Doug, i have seen the mugmug a friend of mine got. I really want a mugmug now. The amount of mugs sold might increase the potential amount of mugs sold in the future by amazement word of mouth
I'm so happy I managed to get the mugmug on the second drop. I'm having coffee in it on my bed and spilling all over, awful to drink from, unwieldy, I love it.
Doug, I know you wont read this but just in case: if your mugs sell put really quickly, that means you didn have nearly enough for the demand. Of course the second batch sold out quickly, because you vastly underestimated it the first time. Thats pretty simple
I think Doug underestimates how fast some people jump on stuff like this. It makes it harder for people who don’t watch your Twitter or Twitch like a hawk :( hope they do a pre-order thing or just make it a permanent item kind of thing
A simple case of Supply and Demand. The Supply sold out really fast so it naturally gains an aura of exclusivity, which increases demand. So when the second batch dropped, all the people who didn't get one were REALLY eager to get their hands on it, speeding up how fast it sold out. Gamersupps does this all the time with their Waifu cups and the like.
The thing about the suplly and deman aside from jist size of audiences is that those people that wher already there have been watching you for longer and more probably want merch from you now people can really only wtch a handful of people committedly and who that is shofts overtime based on interest and interaction and doug had tons of interaction with his community so that feeling grows really fast
i managed to get a mugmug on the second drop and my granddad's reaction to it in the dishwasher was "what is THAT???" in a horrified tone. the mug is fucking gigantic, the mug hole is indeed huge, i completely underestimated how ginormous the mug is. 10/10 would buy 2,500 more mugs
Of course it's big, it has to hold 32 liters of fluid.

Ok let's be real, the rigged tax would be extremely funny and I hope it will get implemented on the next dougdoug product
Or a ‘believer’ tip. A random high-cost tax would just be annoying.
I love that some polish dudes watched him do normal shots and then pull out a mug with eyes on it
@ethanbear360Imagine: before you go to pay for the product, the website shows an innocuous prompt “Do you believe?” (You have to pick to continue) and picking yes adds a 10-20$ tax to the product as “believer tax”.

Honestly the mugmug is probably some of the best merch I've seen. It's funny, a decent product, and fits the brand

Hey Doug, real recommendation here, seeing how the market for the Mugs has grown from your first to second offerings, you should probably consider multiplying your overall mug production.
