Attention Getting Product Launches - Showcasing a Superior Product

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”  Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

What brick walls are you facing today?  

Consider getting around - breaking through - flying over them by taking a new, unexpected approach.  If it is safe - it is probably not going to work.

This product manufacturer chose to present a technically superior product extension in a showcase gift box.  In a category where product launches are typically low-spend, taking an unexpected approach with a buyer meeting resulted in attention given to the performance aspects of the new product that warrant it gaining shelf space.

This Case Study and 100's more are available in our dropbox library of photos & studies.  Email CustomerService@theplatformgroupgallery.com to gain access to the library.  (you can download, view, share with clients).  These Case Studies are the way over, through, around the wall.

Creative Service Agency puts best forward with Best in Show capabilities kit

If you are touting your skills as creative agency, then you want to make sure that your prospecting / capabilties kit shows off your creative talents.  

That sounds like common sense - but how many of us really do put our money where our mouth is?

When you make contact with your clients, are your materials showing off your talents?

Consider taking an inventory of your capabilities, prospecting, self-promotion kits.  How do these collateral pieces represent you? Could you use some upgrading?

Now, offer to do the same inventory for your clients.  Browse what they use to open doors, prospect, tout capabilties, build relationships, thank clients.  Are those materials really showing them off? or are they sub-optimizing their efforts and image?

This Creative Design Agency is showing off capabilties by putting their money where their mouth is - with good, no, great, design.  This mini folio touts a CD hub to place a digital capabilties CD, and every surface is used to project the power of creative design.

An Unexpected Physical Footprint Kickstarts a Product Launch

Social Media is fast, inexpensive (free), fun, robust and has a huge reach.  Gone are the days where a product launch had to include a direct mail postcard or print ad.

However.....

How do you stand-out now that everyone (you know you are fb friends with your friend's Moms too...) uses social media, and everyone is pushing their cool, earth shattering launches, events, ideas though it, non-stop?

Consider creating a physical footprint.  Not the old-fashioned high-run, low-cost physical footprint -- but instead a thoughtfully crafted (even low-run), footprint that showcases your launch in real-life (vs. virtually).

In this Experience Case Study - an alternative punk-rock band, who already hits all the right buttons in social media, creates a physical showcase for their debut album.  The 3-panel portfolio presents media, collateral and a great impression.   More expensive than free? Yes.  More results than free.  Yes.
