One of the best things you can do to aid in the success of your launch is to make sure your marketing efforts are in alignment with who we are. Some of the most popular marketing tactics used by just about everyone in the online marketing space are webinars and video series….the question to ask yourself is that if everyone else is using these strategies, how are you stand out and getting your brand noticed?
By positioning your marketing strategy in a way that incorporated different, not so commonly used strategies you will find it a bit easier to get noticed and potentially make more sales. Take a close look at the marketing tactics you dislike! Most likely if you don’t like it, your audience won’t either so get creative and only market in ways that will ACTUALLY get you noticed and attract the type of clients you are seeking.
Creativity and new ideas is key to engaging your audience and to the success of your launch.
Just in case you are in a creative slump or running low on ideas, here are 30 ways you can build buzz for your launch without doing a typical webinar:
- Post testimonials of your beta testers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
- Guest post on a few blogs that have your potential audience
- Feature success stories from your clients as blog posts
- Sneak a peek of the design of what you’re launching
- Write blog posts directly related to the issues your launch product will cover in your blog
- Host a Twitter chat
- Host a Pinterest contest
- Host a campaign around a unique hashtag. Take a look at #olderwomenvoices and #goodcleanfun on Instagram as examples
- Run a promo for bloggers who review your product or book. With their review, they win something. Gabby Bernstein did this with her release of “May Cause Miracles”
- Take words and lines you’ve written on your sales page and post them to your social media channels
