The first step sets the stage

The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) launch is crucial in a digital product's life cycle. The process involves introducing the product to the market and making a significant impact. The strategy behind the launch can often be the difference between meeting expectations or not. Read about what an MVP is and isn't.

Creating anticipation is critical to a successful launch. A strong pre-launch strategy can ensure your target audience is excited to try your digital product as soon as it's available.

‍

Here's how to do it:

‍

🗣️ Start with a teaser campaign

Share glimpses of your product on social media, newsletters, and your website. These should intrigue your audience without giving away too much. Implement countdown timers to build excitement and remind your audience of the launch date.

‍

💎 Provide early access to capture feedback 

Offer early access in exchange for customer feedback. Create a simple landing page for people to join a waitlist. Launching a limited-access Beta Version will help improve your product and create early evangelists. Early adopters provide valuable feedback that can guide key product improvements.

‍

💬 Leverage the power of storytelling

Share the story of creating your product, including the challenges, breakthroughs, and the people involved in the process. This will help establish a connection with your audience, making them a part of your story. Share the experiences of the Beta testers and testimonials to boost credibility and interest among potential users.

‍

🙋🏽‍♂️ Build and engage with your community

Consider offering exclusive content or insider information to your email subscribers or social media followers. This content could be in-depth articles, behind-the-scenes videos, or early access to your product. You can also host Q&A sessions, live streams, or webinars where you discuss different aspects of your product, the problem it solves, and how it fits into your audience's lives. 

‍

Launching your MVP isn't just about showing off a new product; it's about starting a journey with your customers. Keep it genuine, keep listening, and keep engaging. 💬🚀✨

🔥 Keep the momentum going

To keep your audience engaged before the launch, consider adding new layers of anticipation with regular updates. You can also introduce surprises as you get closer to the launch date, such as revealing a cool feature, announcing partnerships, or offering early bird specials. These tactics can help generate excitement and build momentum leading up to the launch.
