Product Launch Formula

Written by: Joe Dager

Article Overview: 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.

Product Launch Formula

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. Joe Dager of Business901 will launch this new product launch program called SPIDER with an introductory webinar on March 12. You can sign-up at 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."

The SPIDER template also utilizes the newly formatted Ultimate Marketing System from Duct Tape Marketing. "We believe in installing a system," says Dager. "Our experience is that a system will always outperform any other approach. We define your objectives; develop strategies to achieve them, than institute tactics to carry out your strategies. We deliver the package in One on One Sessions or you can even participate in group coaching."Spider Product Launch

Re: looking for experienced affiliate feedback - Affiliates will send you traffic and maybe pre-sell your product. Your job is to ensure the traffic they send converts well, so should have well optimized sales pages, with minimal traffic leaks, and be continually testing. You should also provide tools and ideas for affiliates to promote you. I am an affiliate (I promote other people's products) and drive a lot of sales for my partners. I expect good tracking tools/reporting from the affiliate (affiliate systems like clickbank are fine), I expect a decent commission, good communication from the affiliate program, and landing pages that convert. The trick if you run your own affiliate program is to reach out to successful affiliate marketers who have a large audience that they can push products too. Just signing up with clickbank or similar won't really help you. You need to go out and advertiser your affiliate program, and approach potential partners and sell it to them. Bear in mind successful affiliates get pitched to EVERY DAY so you will need to stand out. The course, Product Launch Formula will be really helpful for you.

Sport: Formula 1 - Hi There, This year a new name arrived on the Formula One scene: Lewis Hamilton. He has had unparalelled success right in the first season of his racing career. There is just one race left and he stands to become World Champion. It is amazing. I used to watch the races in the past, now I tend to see the results and a little of the race. I think his driving colleague never anticipated for him to stand so often on the winners stage. Certainly his potential has been totally unlocked. Any comment about him from different angles. Kindest Regards Beat Mueller "Unlock People's Potentials!"

[/quote:39rinmcm] Car racing is not an activity I've ever gotten into... although rally car racing or "point to point" sounds kind of fun - I've never seen the point in driving around a circle 500 times... But, I'm always interested in people who do things well...especially when they're just starting out in their chosen profession. I'll check him out!
