#95: Testing and Troubling Shooting a Product Launch
Friday Dec 10, 2021
Friday Dec 10, 2021
This week, we're talking all about how we prepared to launch our product and start making sales. This entire series is focused on how we built it so you can learn ways you can prepare before taking your new product to launch. Some key tips we learned:
1. Always have your test your packaging ready to roll before making your product introduction or you will lose sales momentum.
2. Initial buyers who want to support your mission love to give rave reviews so utilize this to your advantage when promoting your product.
3. Always have lifestyle photos that are professional quality ready to roll when introducing your product so people can visualize what it is and how it works or they will get hung up on the application to their own lives.
4. Expect low conversions rates for actual purchase on your interactions, and know that this is normal! Tons of people love a product on social media, but few people take the final action to convert to a sale. Know that you are not a failure! You're just getting started!!
5. Have wholesale pricing already figured out with shipping costs calculated into them because as soon as your product releases and gets a lot of social media buzz, wholesalers will start asking for pricing information. Don't go too low, but make sure it's still attainable for them!

This week, we start our "How we built this," series that we've been researching and gathering data on for the last YEAR! That's right! This episode series we've been putting a ton of hours into because we truly believe anyone can take an idea and make it become a reality. We wanted to show you that it's possible, and with a lot of planning, you can do it too. We had to choose an invention and really dig into making it work for running a business. If you've had an idea that you've wanted to create, hopefully you feel inspired in this series to get it up and out there! (And also definitely tell us if you did because we would LOVE to see what you created!)
