3, 2, 1…let’s do this thing baby.  

Tip #1 – Share Your Brand Launch Messaging On Every. Single. Marketing Channel. You. Have.

When you are launching a brand or unveiling a new product or service, you essentially want to sound the alarm on all your marketing channels in order to raise as much awareness as possible.

Start by making a list of all the ways you can get in contact with your audience so that you have a complete picture of the amount of promo material you need. 

Keep in mind: when you launch anything new, your engagement might drop, your readership may go down, and your clickthrough rate might be less than what you’d expect. 

Why? Because you are introducing something new to your audience, and not everyone is the “jump on the bandwagon type”. 

Launching is not so much about retaining your entire audience’s attention as it is about getting the right people’s attention. And who are the right type of people? Those who are a perfect fit for your new brand, service, or product. Capture their interest and your sales will soar, guaranteed.

Tip #2 – Make Your Brand Launch Messaging More Effective With a Multi-Day Plan for Promo Content 

How can you tease your new brand or new offering before it “officially” launches?

How can you make this product or service feel unlike anything else that exists on the market?

What are all of the different ways you can talk about who this brand is for, why it’s important, and what you’re here to accomplish in your first year in business? 

Brainstorm as many ideas for ways to talk about your new brand and create a multi-day plan (preferable 5-7days) for content that promotes your big unveil.

Not every idea will be a winner, but by giving yourself the space to word vomit, you’ll be able to eliminate the fluff and find the gold.  

Tip #3  – Get Help From All of Your “Brand Evangelists” to Help Disperse Your Brand Launch Messaging 

An evangelist can be described as “someone who talks about something with great enthusiasm”. So, who are the previous clients/customers, influencers, colleagues, friends, and community members who want to support your launch by sharing their enthusiasm about your brand?

Your community wants to see you win, so don’t be afraid to ask for their support by filling them in on what they can do to ensure the success of your next brand launch!

Plus, when your audience sees so many other people involved in the launch of your brand, it will increase the perceived value of your brand as a whole.

Tip #4 – Use Your Brand Launch Messaging to Celebrate and Invite Your Audience to Join The Party. 

Consider these two options: a party that happened just as fast as it ended OR a multi-day event that made you feel excited, special, and 100% invested in what the next day brings. 

A successful launch can keep the attention of its target audience without boring them to death or becoming white noise. Your brand launch is the party, your target audience is the guest list,  your content is the events, and you are the DJ that keeps everyone dancing.

People want to have fun with you, so how can you invite your audience to join into the celebration that is the launch of your new brand or service/product?

Tip #5 – Don’t Stop Promoting Your Brand Launch Messaging, Even After the “Official” Reveal is Over.

Strong brand awareness doesn’t happen overnight, it is the compound effect of consistently promoting the existence of your new brand or product/service long after it has been launched. 

This doesn’t mean that you are asserting the same promotional efforts as you did when you first officially launched, but you do want to keep your new brand or offering top of mind.

Casual name drops in your marketing content work great, as do weekly, monthly, or quarterly advertisements (depending on your business type). 

At the end of the day, it’s absolutely tragic when you see a brand flop a launch because their messaging wasn’t meaningful or strategic. 

Months, sometimes even years of preparation, go into the process of launching a new brand, product, or service for your business. The last thing you want to experience when you finally make your big reveal is the deflating sight of zero engagement and metaphorical tumbleweeds.
