There are 3 phases to a product or service launch. They are:

* Pre-Launch phase

* Launch phase

* Post-Launch phase

It is not complicated, yet complex. And because of that, many people do not focus on the pre-launch and go straight to launch, thinking it will not hinder the success of the product. Nothing could be further from the truth. The pre-launch phase is the “yeast" in the recipe.

No matter what your needs are, we’ll meet and surpass them. In any event. To any market." read it in some professional newsletter. Bold statement but how they will do it was not explained. Even checked on the website. Butt i will explain you step by step. Start telling people about what is to come in the next 30 to 60 days. This gets them excited and ‘thirsty’ for your product, so that when you finally deliver, they drink, and drink hard. To do this, you need to have a ‘coming soon’ page or introduction page.

The key question for owners of growing companies is whether you can produce buzz by scheming and planning and plotting and contriving, or if you just have to wait to get lucky.

If your buzz is truly buzz, you can bet other media organizations will jump on your buzz. Have you ever watched EXTRA, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, E!, or one of the other 15 or so industry gossip shows. Chances are if you’ve watched one, you’ll see the same stories covered over and over again. Why? These media organizations are quick to jump on the latest and greatest stories of the hour.
