Amazing NEW
Product! Launching a new product or service isn't as simple as partnering with
a local retailer and stocking their shelves with the product or, in the case of
a service offering, placing an ad in a magazine or the Yellow Pages.
It takes
careful strategic planning to define key attributes of the offering as well as
its intended target market in order to properly position it within the
marketplace. Consumer decision processes
and competitive analysis also play a critical role in launching any new product
or service as does post-purchase behavior.
Avni Media can
help your company launch its new product or service, or even re-launch an
existing one, by implementing a proven step-by-step process to move through the
various stages of launch.
Push or Pull?
There are
two basic promotional strategies to chose from when bringing a product or
service to market: push promotion or pull promotion. Using a push strategy, the product or service
is "pushed" through various trade channels and ultimately to the
consumer. The goal with a push strategy
is to induce channel members to carry the product or service and promote it to
consumers.
A pull
strategy calls for marketing and advertising that targets the consumer directly
thereby creating a demand for the product or service. If effective, consumers will seek out the
product or service from channel members who will in turn demand it from the
producer. |
