Five Steps to Nailing Your Product Launch in the Covid Age

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on businesses, especially regarding their marketing strategy. Yet, as we look forward to vaccine rollouts and some measure of normalcy, we can anticipate that new-product releases will continue to roll on. While some companies have been able to position and launch their products during the pandemic, others need to assess how a product will be received in the market during this time before launching it. Moreover, even with the best intentions, only a fraction of new products survive their launch. I have launched multiple products ranging from software and mobile apps to physical products throughout my career, contributing over $600 million in revenue. Through these experiences, I found five keys to launch success, which resonate regardless of the times.
