Meet me in Chicago
How to build anticipation for your product launch
- Have a mailing list! Email them consistently during development.
- The week of launch you should send the following emails:
- Pre-launch announcement: "We're launching in a week!"
- Day before announcement: "The launch is tomorrow. Here's how much it will cost."
- Launch day email: "We're launched! Sign up here"
- Day after email: "You've still got time to sign up."
- Launch discount is ending email: "This is your last chance to register"
- Use services like Product Hunt, Product Hunt Ship, BetaList, to build anticipation.
- On Twitter, FB, LinkedIn, Instagram: constantly send out product updates.
