5 Proven Strategies for a Successful New Product Launch

Launching a new product is an exciting but challenging task. With a high percentage of new product launches failing, it's important to have a solid plan in place to increase your chances of success. At Trade Marketing Europe, we understand the importance of a successful product launch and have compiled a list of 5 impactful ways to help you achieve it.

1. Branding and Design

The way your product is presented to the public can make or break its success. A well-designed branding and design will create an outstanding first impression and catch the consumer's eye. Consistency with your business's branding will help stimulate brand awareness and loyalty. Choosing the right colors and text is essential. For example, yellow can indicate summer, and simple yet informative text will appeal to a consumer through brand transparency and honesty. A snappy logo can also encourage familiarity and engagement. It is important to not only consider the branding and design of your product, but also any retail display stands or online campaigns that should complement it.


2. Advertising

Advertising your new product can be done both online and offline. It is versatile and can suit all budgets, but for bigger scopes and more effective advertising, a larger budget is often required. For example, a simple blog or social media product page can be created to build suspense and awareness of your new product for a minimal price. Larger social media campaigns, TV, or radio advertising, however, will need a more generous budget.


3. Trade Shows

Trade shows are an excellent way to get your product seen by a wider audience. They allow audiences and other businesses to interact with your product directly and ask questions. Special deals, such as free samples, can also entice customers to try your product. Word-of-mouth recommendations can also help market your product after the trade show. For example, exhibiting at the CES show in Las Vegas gives companies the opportunity to showcase their products to a global audience.


4. Retail Promotion and Product Displays

Retail promotion and product displays are one of the most effective ways to target consumers. By appealing to consumers in-store, where they are prepared to buy, with retail display stands, you have a much higher chance of successfully marketing your product. This involves targeting impulse buyers and persuading consumers to choose your brand over another. For example, placing your product at eye-level in a store or near the point of purchase can help increase its visibility and boost sales.


5. Influencer Marketing

Marketing your product through influencers, commonly found on social media, can help spread the word about your product. Through influencer advertising, your product is demonstrated to be both effective and trustworthy. By selectively choosing the influencer you collaborate with, you can target relevant audiences. For example, if you're launching a skincare product, partnering with a beauty influencer who has a large following in that niche, can be a great way to reach the right audience.
