During a product launch, getting the message across to the target audience requires compelling product pitches and effective audience engagement.
It is important to draft the message with key information that the audiences are looking for:
- Tell readers where and when the new product will be released
- Focus on benefits, not features
- Explain how the product fits for purpose
- Make the audience the key role in the launch
- Demonstrate the new product
- Include product images
