"Advertising doesn't work!"
This is the famous statement I heard from the management team of business that I formed a product launch strategy for.
"In what way have you been trying to advertise?" I asked.
"We buy inexpensive spots every so often when an ad rep has some additional space available," they answered.
After some debate, they gave me a budget of $180,000 and desired to sell 50 units. I spent $80,000 on the initial collateral development and test launch and sold 0 units.
"This is a complete failure� pull the plug!" Management grumbled.
"Hang on," I assured, "we're just getting started."
By the end of the rollout, the product hit the number one top-selling spot in its category in the world. The final result by the end of the launch was 80 units which were sold for $120,000. It added $6 Million to the company's revenue in nine months. It sustained its top selling status for 5 consecutive years following the primary campaign and may even now continue in that position� It's been awhile since I've checked.
So what happens in marketing which causes business owners to pull the plus too early? The secret lies in the consumer adoption pattern.
Attentiveness � considering all the clutter in today's world, it takes a while for anyone to even know you exist; you may need to promote your product for at least four months.
Trust � when a market is finally conscious that you are there, it becomes necessary for you to earn their trust. This takes up to one year to develop. Trust is created through consistent messaging over a sustained period of time.
Response � as soon as the prospective customer likes your value proposition, thinks they have some sort of need for your product, and trusts that their problem can be solved by your solution, they will purchase.
