For marketing managers, introducing a brand new product can be both heart-warming and demanding. Communication is at the heart of its success—get the right message to customers and your launch soars. A strategy beyond creating awareness that builds anticipation, encourages adoption, and establishes long-term loyalty.
Crafting a Clear and Convincing Message
Before you start those personal emails or Facebook posts about your product launch, take a few minutes to define the key messages of your message. Ask yourself these fundamental questions:
-
What problem in their lives does this product solve?
-
What is different about this product from all the others out there today?
-
Who’s the main customer for such a product? Why should they care?
Highlight Key Advantages
Instead of focusing on the features, promote the product’s advantages. Your audience wants to know how the product will make life better or solve a particular problem for them.
Keep It Simple
Product launches often fail because the message is too complex. A clear, simple message that is easily understood will resonate better than long-winded technical descriptions. Use the rule of three.
Match the Voice and Style of Your Brand
Your communication’s manner and form should be in sync with the personality of your brand. The same voice across all platforms is fundamental for building trust.
