Flevy Management Insights: Product Launch Strategy

A Product Go-to-Market (GTM) Launch Strategy is a plan for introducing a new product to the market and making it available for purchase by customers. The Product GTM Strategy outlines the steps that need to be taken to successfully bring the product to market, including market research, product development, pricing, distribution, marketing & promotion, and sales.

The GTM Launch Strategy should be tailored to the specific product and target market—and should take into account the competitive landscape and the overall business goals. The goal of the GTM Product Launch Strategy is to effectively introduce the product to the market and drive demand for it, leading to increased sales and revenue.

In formulating a Product Launch Strategy, there are numerous important strategic analyses and considerations, including:

  • Customer Segmentation & Targeting: It is important to properly segment the market and then understand the target market for the product, including demographics, needs, and preferences. This will help inform the positioning and messaging for the product.
  • Competitive Analysis: It is important to understand the competitive landscape for the product and how it compares to similar products in terms of features, pricing, and distribution. This will help inform the marketing and sales strategy for the product.
  • Product Positioning: The product should be positioned in a way that clearly communicates its value proposition and differentiates it from competitors.
  • Pricing Strategy: Pricing should be carefully designed in relation to the target market and competitive landscape.
  • Omni-channel Retail Distribution: Decisions about mix of distribution channels, such as online, retail, or direct-to-consumer, should be based on the target market and the overall business strategy.
  • Marketing and Promotion: Marketing and promotion efforts should be tailored to the target market and should effectively communicate the product's value proposition.
  • Sales Strategy: The sales strategy should align with the overall go-to-market plan and should include tactics such as lead generation, lead nurturing, and closing.
