What are the key steps of developing a market plan for a new product launch?

As principais etapas na minha experiência s?o: - Observa??o detalhada do mercado: O que se usa atualmente, como se usa, quem oferece, quem compra, por que compra, quais as vantagens e desvantagens do que existe hoje. - Fa?a perguntas: O que poderia ser diferente? O que poderia entregar mais, ou o que poderia ser otimizado? Pergunte a si mesmo, pergunte à equipe, pergunte ao mercado (de forma indireta). - Pesquise mais profundamente sobre produtos, materiais, servi?os. - Descubra o seu público - Traga seus clientes para te ajudar a criar - Crie estratégias de negócios e estratégias de comunica??o. - Comunique os diferenciais; Comunique com profundidade - Foque no seu público, usa a linguagem dele, crie conteúdo que o ajude e agregue de fato

Attempting to actually sell a new product or service is in my opinion one of the best ways to determine if it has a chance to be successful. While research might offer opinions, asking a prospect to write a check usually uncovers real objections required to overcome before any deals are struck.

Accurate Shallow: understanding consumer need states - not just articulated, but deep but unarticulated - is everything. Required deeper motivational & behavioral modeling.

I disagree with the opinion that you should try to sell without research. Research will help you diminish the chance to fail. Don't go into assumptions of gurus that tell you that research is waste of time. It actually is the most intelligent investment you can make before trying to sell something. It will allow you to master your clients and your target audience like nobody else.

Objectives should be clear and stated so the teams and individuals will know what to work for. Also, marketing objectives should be derived from strategy. They should be able to land the theory in practice. That's true for any objective, really - but in marketing, even truller.

- Specific: Define specific goals, such as gaining a 5% market share. - Measurable: Set measurable goals, such as $500,000 in sales. - Achievable: Make sure your goals are attainable, such as selling 1,000 units in the first quarter. - Relevant: Align objectives with the corporate vision, such as building an innovative reputation. - Time-bound: Set deadlines and aim for a 10% increase in consumer base in six months. - Alignment of Business Strategies: Ensure that all objectives support corporate aims. These bullet points distil the core of developing market objectives, ensuring they are actionable, trackable, and related to the overall business goals.

The four Ps of marketing strategy development are: - Product: Tailor the features, advantages, and design of your product to market demands. Position it differently in the market. - Price: To guarantee competitiveness, set a price that reflects the product's value while considering costs and demand. - Place: Choose distribution methods that best reach your target audience, such as internet platforms, retail shops, or direct sales. - Promotion: Create promotional efforts to express your value proposition through advertising, social media, emails, or events. Align these factors with market research findings to create a unified strategy that engages your target audience, optimises market penetration, and meets stated goals.

The strategy should be high level, theoretical and leave room for the tactical teams to develop their own course of action. Although theoretical, the hypothesis and findings from research should be taken into account. Tactical informations such as price research, consumer insights, distribution channels, etc. All should be included.

Creating a marketing budget is like planning a vacation budget. Allocate funds to key areas like ads and promotions, based on goals and expected ROI. Adjust as needed based on market feedback, like increasing spend on successful campaigns. In my opinion think of the highest and lowest budget for every activity

I always endorse getting an ROI, however some parts of the campaign might not show a positive ROI for some time, if ever, especially with a new product launch you will have a lot of activity that won't be able to me measured as you raise awareness and drive engagement. A good point to make to all stakeholders is that marketing is a longer term investment in the product and brand and budgets and expectations need to reflect this.

The budget needs to follow the marketing mix: costs and revenues (when possible). The ROI will not always be easy to state but try as much as you can and, if you're working at a big company, rely on tools such as marketing mix modelling, etc.

The implementation should be done with a test and learn mindset, specially in todays convoluated world, where everything is truly changing at a face paced rhytm. Engage your team with this mindset and encourage them to restrategize whenever marketing circunstances deem necessary.

Implementing our marketing plan was a critical element in my job at Healthcare Australia when strategic thought met execution. We completed the actions described within the limits of our defined schedules and budgets. I led our marketing team, ensuring everyone was aware of their responsibilities and building a collaborative environment with open lines of communication.
