Everything, small or big, was once small. The strides taken to reach the peak or the point of making a daily kill in business is enormous. Have you ever wondered how Safaricom or Apple Company makes abnormal profits? Uber is the in thing in Kenya and it is taking over the taxi industry with storm. Launching a new product only takes hours. That hour can either define your stay in the market or your exit. Well, enough preparations have to be made from the technical support staff to the speaker who will be introducing the product first in the market.

1. Research

Before a product is brought to the market it has to be looked upon. A product takes much research and skills in order to come out a better one. Having researched well about what you want to launch look at its pros and cons. This should be able to hint to you the challenges anticipated when doing the launching. This will prepare you psychologically when launching. Imagine launching a product you claim to have come up with in an international product then question about the product arises? You need to know the product all round. All research skills displayed will be evident on how the product will come out when launching. The market will be yearning for your product the moment you will be through with the launching.

2. Marketing

The marketing strategies used by most companies nowadays entail social media. Others prefer having real marketers which is a plus to the company. There is no company lacking marketers as the sales of the companies are realized by the work power of the marketers. A successfully launched product had well skilled marketers. Marketing a product before launching it gives it a foundation in the market. Social media is mostly effective in this era from facebook, twitter, linked in among others. These channels will reach many people in the market considering the massive number of people using them. Bonfire was voted the best tour agency company in Kenya in the year 2015. Their success could be attributed to their level of marketing. They had taken over the social media with their tour packages so appealing to the clients. Despite not being in the stage of launching their company, this had taken their sales a notch higher. Marketing a product before you launch is the basic start of success in business.

3. Pick powerful influencers

Introducing a product to the market the first time takes a lot of keenness. You need to be careful when presenting it. The person producing it needs to bear aspects of a marketer. The person needs to set the minds of the people attending and convince them that the best product is about to take the world with surprise. If you can afford someone with a good public image, get one. Most people look at who the person launching the product is. Considering the fact that the person has had good reputation in public, one need to put in account that his/her company is at stake. Important guests can be invited to interact with the product launched. CEOs, managers and directors can have a chance to know the product more. Do not be surprised if one of them offers to boost the product it will be great product. Some will even want a joint business.

4. Make the product friendly

We might be engaging in business to make profits but always think of the society. Successful products always aim in giving something new to the society. The society is changing and they will want something unique. When launching a product, make sure it is community oriented. The product should aim in solving a problem faced in the society. Free samples are an advantage to your product as people will want to see what the product is all about.
