In other words, leave nothing to chance and plan your marketing and delivery campaign like a military operation to give yourself the best chance of success.

Name the day
A deadline is a useful aid when you are launching a new product or service. It gives you a timescale to get all the details of your new item pinned down as well as to work out where you will sell it, who will buy it and what marketing you need to do to spread the word to those people.

Can you deliver?
When launching a new product multinational companies send out their stock and have it ready in the shops so that the moment their marketing and advertising campaign starts the product can be bought by customers in their local shop. Can your customers get hold of your new product or service as soon as they hear about it? Will your website handle the sales, do you need to set up e-commerce facilities? You need to be able to deliver straight-away if you are going to get the best return on all the marketing and advertising activity to promote your new product or service.

Get all your ducks in a row
All of your marketing materials should be ready to go in the days leading up to your launch. Your materials will need to be designed, copy written and printing timescales taken into account. Wether they will be posted, handed out at events or posted online make sure that every activity is timed as carefully as possible to reach people on our launch day if possible to give you the biggest coverage possible. Use existing social networking accounts to promote the launch online.

If you can also write a press release to support the new launch you may be able to get follow-up publicity following your big launch day that will reinforce all the other marketing activities.
