New Product Introductions
Whether you are a startup or an established business, new product launches can soar or crash and burn depending on many factors. 30,000 new products are launched every year and 95% of those new products fail.
The most common factors in new product failures include:
- Insufficient or poor market research
- Creating a solution to a non-existent or poorly understood problem
- Bad pricing strategy and stubborn resistance to adjust
- Targeting the wrong market
- No really unique value proposition to favorably differentiate
- Poor and/or inadequate marketing strategy and execution
- Failure to do sufficient beta testing
- Lack of social proof and early adopter testimonials/endorsements
- Product performance doesn’t meet claims or customer expectations
