How Building A Strong Brand Can Help Your Product Launch

If you’re running a product launch for your new product or service, you’ll be using direct-response marketing campaigns to get the word out. That means you’ll be putting ads in front of people, most likely using an email sequence.

And if you’re able to build a strong brand in the lead up to your launch, you’ll already have the necessary “top of mind” awareness to generate sales. If you’ve neglected your branding, your prospect is often going to feel like they can get what you are offering from one of your competitors.

To get awareness from people in your market, branding is very important. That’s why I’ve created this frequently asked question list with answers. Take a look…

Q: Some say a brand is about the feeling you get as a customer. What does this mean?

A:  This means that your brand should evoke the same feeling that your customers experience when they use your products or service.

For example, gourmet chocolatier Godiva is all about creating a feeling of sophisticated decadence an indulgence. From their golden wrappers to their writing style, to the gourmet products themselves, Godiva makes people feel special and indulged when they eat the chocolate (or receive iGodiva chocolate as a gift).

Now compare that to the branding of Mountain Dew, which is positioned to appeal to the “dudes” who like skateboarding, surfing, bungee jumping and extreme sports. Mountain Dew is all about creating excitement.

Q: What sort of factors does my branding entail?

A: The short answer: pretty much everything.

You see, a lot of people think about branding in terms of a logo. So they pick some colors and a logo design to convey their brand’s feeling, and then they call it a day. But the truth is, your brand should permeate every facet of your business. This includes:

  • Your logo
  • Your slogan
  • The colors and designs for your website and marketing materials
  • Your product packaging, and how your stuff looks when your customer receives it
  • Your online and offline content and marketing materials
  • Your customer service
  • Your reputation
  • Your Vision and Mission

And much more…

So whenever you do anything for your business, whether it’s creating the new product you’re about to launch, putting together your pre-launch content, or designing a landing page, think about how this activity or item reflects your brand.

Q: How can I build “top of mind” awareness?

A: When your prospects think about their niche-specific problems, you want them to associate your business with the solution to those problems. And the way to do this is by building brand awareness.

For example:

  • Sign off emails, social media posts and other content with something related to your brand. E.G., John The Copy Doctor.
  • Create contests with a focus on building brand awareness. For example, ask entrants to create a short video commercial based around your brand.
  • Be sure your ad campaigns strongly incorporate your brand (with your slogan, logo, etc.).

Example, Product Launch Strategy is creating a brand around “launching products and services” which help business owners make money building and launching their dream business so they can spend money enjoying their lives with the people they love.

To sum up…

Creating a product launch for your product or service from scratch can give you awesome results. But the real magic happens when you build the top of mind awareness needed to generate sales even when your ads and launch messages aren’t sitting right in front of your prospect’s nose!

If you can build that kind of awareness, both before and after your initial launch, you can create a long-term, sustainable business for yourself and your family that will allow you to prosper for many years to come. To learn more, check out Jeff Walker’s free Product Launch Masterclass here.

7 Steps To Creating An Engaged Audience For Your Product Launch

Engaging your audience during your product launch is the key to developing relationships, building trust, and creating more profits. That’s why you’ll want to use this handy-dandy checklist to help you capture and keep your audience’s attention. Take a look…

  1. Create A Highly Targeted Audience

The absolute first step in engaging your audience is to make sure your audience is targeted. That means bringing traffic in from targeted sources.

For example, if you’re running a Facebook ad campaign, then be sure to narrow your audience down by demographics and interests so that the traffic is as targeted as possible.

And it’s always a good idea to follow what Todd Brown recommends, which is look for an audience that is a “Large, hungry, accessible mob of addicts flush with cash.”

  1. Cater To The Needs Of Your Audience

Once you’ve selected a targeted audience, then publish content that really appeals to them. This includes:

  • Solving their problems.
  • Sending them your best tips, tricks and strategies.
  • Sharing niche news and how it affects your audience.
  • Selling products to solve their problems (preferably with exclusive discounts).

Next…

  1. Create Attention-Getting Headlines

The next way to engage your audience is by crafting headlines that really resonate with the audience. This means showcasing a benefit and/or arousing curiosity. For example:

  • Who Else Wants to Know The #1 Secret For Doubling Conversion Rates?
  • Here’s The Super Simple Way To Never Three-Putt Again
  • You Won’t Believe This Easy Weight-Loss Trick!

Next…

  1. Call Your Audience to Action

Every piece of content you create should be designed with a goal in mind. You can help improve your response rate (and engagement) by specifically telling your audience what you want them to do next.

For example:

  • Click here to watch the video!
  • Share this post now with your friends!
  • Click here to get your copy of this app!
  • Register for the free webinar by clicking here (and hurry, seating is limited)!

Next…

  1. Connect With Your Audience

Sending out great content is one way to connect with your audience. Another way to connect with them on a more personal level is to interact with them.

For example:

  • Like their posts and comments on social media.
  • Reply thoughtfully to their comments, posts and emails.
  • Share their content with your network.
  • Showcase particularly good content on your social media pages or other platforms.

Next…

  1. Challenge Your Audience

Another good way to engage your audience is by challenging them regularly in a niche-relevant way. For example:

  • Challenge a writer’s group to write an extra 1000 words today.
  • Challenge a weight-loss group to find a way to slice an extra 100 calories off their meals.
  • Challenge a business group to work an extra 30 minutes today.

If you do these challenges regularly, people will look forward to them because they’ll like the end results. In turn, this creates a more engaged audience.

  1. Celebrate Your Audience

The idea here is to showcase your members’ achievements. You can do this on a small scale by sharing their content (with permission). You can engage your audience even more by showcasing bigger achievements.

For example: Create a “Member of the Week” feature where you interview a member to showcase their good work. For example, in a weight loss group you might interview a member who has made consistently good progress.

To Sum Up

One of the keys to building a loyal tribe is to create an engaged audience of people who know, like and trust you. Use this 7-step checklist to make sure you’ve covered the best ways to engage your people in the process of launching your new product or service.

And to learn more about engaging with your audience before, during and after you use Product Launch Formula to launch or re-launch your product or service, check out Jeff Walker’s free Product Launch Masterclass here.

Inside Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula Launch

You may have been watching Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula from the point of view of a current or potential customer, but as an affiliate of Jeff’s, I’d like to share some of the inside goss on what’s been going on behind the scenes.

The bottom line is that even though people have been using PLF to launch products and services since around 2008, and many people say the ‘launch model’ is dying or dead, Jeff’s been totally nailing it with this current launch so far.

He’s now delivered just about TEN HOURS of content… and people are freaking out at the quality + quantity + experience.

I’ve watched and participated in a LOT of launches, and I’ve never seen people as excited as Jeff’s folks are with this current prelaunch.

Thursday was “Lesson 3”… the Launch Blueprint… and it was just another LIVE broadcast in the launch with three hours and twenty minutes of pure content.

And it was pure content that is setting up the sales of Product Launch Formula that will come in next week when Jeff opens the shopping cart.

And there were 1,312 comments during the broadcast. Amazing!

And the beautiful thing is that even though the shopping cart is not open yet, people are asking if they can buy to get started. Just like they used to do in the launches back in 2008.

It just goes to show that Product Launch Formula, when used as Jeff teaches, still works just as well as it ever has.

So what’s next?

The “Lesson 4” LIVE broadcast will be hot. Jeff will be teaching “open cart” strategies, as well as how to sell effectively without being slimy… and he’ll also be officially making an offer for Product Launch Formula.

And there will be a great bonus for people who jump on board and register by midnight on Monday.

So make sure you check out the training so far and get set for Lesson 4 of the Masterclass. You can do that by visiting this link.

Warm regards,
