Launching a product with a SPIDER
This program is based on the Business901 SPIDER product launch template which will allow participants to organize their launch plans into a series of actionable items based on present marketing conditions and practices. The participants can use the template to determine areas to differentiate their product, better define their buyer persona and use present technology to accelerate the launch. Business901 product launch program is called SPIDER with an ongoing introductory webinar. You can sign-up at http://productlaunching.eventbrite.com or review the product at http://www.productmarketingprocess.com. There is a discount code of "Spider" that is available till the end of February.
The actual program was created to provide businesses with everything they could ask for in terms of ongoing marketing support, guidance, accountability and know-how to help them overcome the challenges facing them in launching a product in 2009. “It is not your typical, Internet launch program. If you are looking for a web based product launched, this is not for you,” says Dager. He adds, “It contains a mix of products, services, an authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coach to walk you through the process and the SPIDER Template to integrate your launch not only on the web but more importantly offline through your targeted industry.”
SPIDER is an acronym for See, Plan, Imagine, Design/Sell, Execute and Renew. Dager also added: “This is compilation of 30 years of product marketing launches in the process equipment field. I not only credit the Duct Tape Marketing System, which I use as an important part of process, but my recent training in the Effective Product Marketing program hosted by Pragmatic Marketing. This EPM seminar explored outbound marketing roles, priorities and processes that characterize market-driven technology companies.”
