Your competitor just launched a product that sold $2M in its first month.
Meanwhile, your last launch barely moved the needle.
What's the difference? They followed a system. You winged it.
The Launch Reality Check
89% of product launches fail to meet revenue expectations. Not because the products are bad, but because brands treat launches like marketing campaigns instead of business transformations.
A successful launch isn't about the announcement. It's about the 30 days of strategic buildup that makes the announcement inevitable.

Create content assets that tell a story, not sell a product
🎯 Days 11-20: Anticipation Phase
Seed curiosity through behind-the-scenes content
Launch waitlist with exclusive early access
Test messaging with your most engaged customers
🎯 Days 21-30: Momentum Phase
Execute coordinated campaign across all channels
Leverage social proof and FOMO in real-time
Scale what's working, kill what's not

The Fatal Launch Mistake
Most brands announce their launch like it's a surprise party. But surprises don't sell products—anticipated events do.
Your launch should feel inevitable to your audience, not shocking.
