New product or service launches can be rollercoaster rides, ranging from excitement about launch day to anxiety about early results. There¡¯s a lot of hard groundwork that happens before you¡¯re ready to introduce your brainchild to the market, from funding to framing to hiring. However, there is one question you must answer that is critically important to your product¡¯s long-term success: Whose needs are you solving with your product?
Even if you think your product’s innovation speaks for itself, it cannot be successful unless there is a market need for it. Developing buyer personas can help determine and articulate who the audience for your product is and whether they even exist. These personas can be leveraged for a successful product launch, inform your marketing strategy moving forward and ultimately shape your long-term product roadmap.
Targeted Product Launch
Without a clear picture of who will want to buy your product or service, your launch can feel directionless. For example, if you¡¯re launching your product over the web, how will you know which platforms to advertise on? Where will your ideal buyers be at the time of your product launch, and will your launch strategy interest them? These are all vital considerations that can be answered by identifying your buyer personas and their needs before going to market.
To make sure you¡¯re fully prepared prior to launch, take the time to conduct primary market research via focus groups and/or 1:1 conversations with open-ended questions and also examine secondary research to uncover further details of your buyer¡¯s pain points. These steps are imperative as they can give you an authentic understanding of who you¡¯ll be talking to and looking to connect with as well as what messages are likely to resonate with them.
Personalized Marketing Strategy
As we¡¯ve noted, having a firm understanding of your target audience is critical for developing strong messaging and positioning for your company. In today’s market of hyper-personalized content, your message should be uniquely tailored so that you can speak to your audience directly with information that is highly relevant to their needs and aspirations. Getting this right allows you to immediately build rapport with your buyers, even if you haven¡¯t been in the market for long.
Understanding your position within the market is also essential for contextually structuring your marketing strategy. For example, if your technology product is poised to solve needs for those specifically in the medical device industry, you won¡¯t want to market at trade shows geared towards hospital or med clinic products. It is more important to develop a highly targeted segment of the market you wish to speak to, rather than casting a wide net in hopes of snagging a prospect here and there.
Developing a strong buyer persona is also the first step to building an overall marketing strategy for your new company. By recognizing the needs your product solves, this can serve as the underlying thread for future marketing campaigns and initiatives.
Future Product Mission
Now that you¡¯ve identified your customers¡¯ pain points, how are you going to solve them more effectively, more cheaply or more quickly than the solutions that already exist? These are questions that should be answered in order to structure the long-term vision for your company. Ultimately, your product should bring something new to the market that differentiates it from competition. Or, if you are creating a product in a new space, the pain point needs to be big enough that addressing it adds lots of value over maintaining the status quo.
Having a deep understanding of how your product solves your customers¡¯ pain points, as well as how your competition is seeking to address those same frustrations, will provide you with the insight needed to craft a durable product or service mission for years to come.
¡°Our adventure is over and done with,¡± Dick said. ¡°It has gone ¡®poof¡¯ like a bursted soap bubble.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s lock up, here, and join Jeff,¡± suggested Sandy. From their cockpits Sandy and Dick watched the hydroplane. At cruising speed their airplane made nearly three miles to the hydroplane¡¯s one. Its mysterious occupant must know that they were trailing him, but he held to a straight course so that his lights were never in a different place as their craft above swung to show its observers the red and then the green. ¡°Then we have found the man who is guilty!¡± exclaimed Dick. ¡°He was with Tommy Larsen, hired him to go out to meet the yacht!¡± ¡°What about Mr. Whiteside¡ªand Jeff?¡± Dick wanted to get to the bottom of a startling situation. ¡°Then that woman¡ªMimi¡ªcame back to rejoin Jeff!¡± argued Larry, and broke into a run. ¡°Come on, fellows!¡± ¡°Yes! There they are! Just a little below our level.¡± "I knew," Cairness said, turning to Landor after a very short silence, "that you and Mrs. Landor were somewhere along here. So I left my horse at a rancheria across the hill there," he nodded over his shoulder in the direction of the looming pile just behind, "and walked to where I saw the fire. I saw you for some time before I was near, but I ought to have called out. I really didn't think about startling you." "I rather thought that might be too much for even you," said Cairness. The Englishman lost his coolness. Again he rushed savagely at Shorty, with less care in his guard. Shorty evaded his mighty blow, and reaching up under his guard struck him on the chin so hard that the Englishman fell like an ox. "Deacon, these brothers and sisters who have come here with me to-night are, like myself, deeply interested in the moral condition of the army, where we all have sons or kinsmen. Now, can't you sit right there and tell us of your observations and experiences, as a Christian man and father, from day to day, of every day that you were down there? Tell us everything, just as it happened each day, that we may be able to judge for ourselves." She made a quick recovery, and Robert and Peter were christened at Easter-time. Naomi looked every inch the proud mother. Her slight figure had acquired more matronly lines, and she even affected a more elderly style of dress. For some time afterwards, proud and beloved, she really felt that motherhood was her vocation, and when in the course of the summer she[Pg 90] realised that her experiences were to be repeated, she was not so sorry as she had been before. She hoped desperately it would be a girl¡ªbut this time said nothing to Reuben. "Because you gave those things up of your free will¡ªthey were made to give them up by force. You've no right to starve and deny other people as you have to starve and deny yourself." "I'll make him pleased. You leave father to me for the future." "But I d?an't want you to waste your money."
