Launching a New Product
Staff | Dec 29, 2011 | Comments 0
Launching a new product in a down economy can be challenging. The questions one has to face are:
- How do I get my target audience’s attention?
- What launch materials do I need?
- What should I do with my website?
- What marketing mix do I use?
- What is the predicted ROI on my investment?
- How can I quickly convert prospect interest to sales?
Some of the answers to these questions are basic. Others … not so much. The basics you need to have to be successful are:
- A position that is unique, compelling, sustainable and believable – don’t launch another pizza company unless you really have something different
- A clear messaging strategy – if you don’t have your pitch down and can’t sell your friends and family, don’t waste your time
- A modest but well done website – everyone goes to the website when they hear about you – doesn’t cost much to do a nice one
The items that are a little tougher are:
- Where does my target audience live and how do I get the message to them?
- How can I get a lot of PR for a little money?
- How do I best leverage my marketing spend across internet marketing, direct marketing, advertising, sales, etc.
