Buffer's "Open" page turns radical transparency into a competitive moat.
Most companies would never do this. Buffer operates in a competitive space with many VC-back companies. One thing that makes them stand out is their transparency. That's what the "Open" page on their website is all about. All of the company's most confidential metrics like monthly active users, recurring revenue, average revenue per user, and even salaries are out there for all to see. When you're competing against big players that focus on growth at all costs, building a brand around radical transparency and healthy business practices can be an effective way to differentiate.
Buffer turned their homepage into launch day real estate — and it worked.
