A fresh product launch can be an exciting time. I know, I've been involved in masses of them. The biggest thing to realize with a new product launch is that a lot can go bad.
So you would like to do a Product Launch? Managers take heed.....
OK enough of the drama. A Product Launch is a lot of work. You ahve to take under consideration lots of different moving parts. One thing to think of is timing. 4 weeks to be specific. This way we could plan out when we were going to contact different folks and get them on board or just plan out the parts.
such as :
Product Delivery
technical problems ( Hardware such as computers and servers )
purchaser Service
You also need to consider what else is happening at that time of year. So I'd be surprised if I saw plenty of Launches during the Christmas season. Infact we jsut prepared on around that season. We'll star fresh and new in the new year.
Is there a break window of opportunity} for you to be getting your story out? Don't struggle with the gigantic guns. Get them on board with your launch and you can do that but not contesting with their launch.
Have you considered associates. Affiliates are very busy folk and you must get their attention. There are two ways that work depending on the affiliate. One is to show the affiliate how powerful and moneymaking the launch will be. I myself like the second strategy. Show the affiliate how this launch will benefit their readers. Also be certain to give your affiliates as much time as feasible ahead of the launch to prepare. Affiliates use many various methods and some need a great amount of lead time to get those techniques into place. Some affiliates use SEO and to effectively SEO you regularly need a couple of weeks to get some good rankings.
If this all appears too complex or tough, then consider using a
Product Launch Manager. A PLM can work with you and your team to actually rocket fuel your launch.
