Are you introducing a new product line, new feature to your existing products, or going for the mother of all new things: starting a new business? You may want to consider using a Product Launch to get your new ...thing... off to a great start. Nothing like a big wave of good publicity and a lot of buzz to get things moving, right?
During the past few weeks I have been studying how to plan and pull off a successful product launch. While I'm still learning about it and don't have any tips to provide - YET - I wanted to share some links with you in case this is something you're thinking about doing for your own business.
