The brief, yet informative, guide to a successful product launch

Launching a product seems to be an intimidating ordeal. There are several things you have to think of – everything from making sure the production of the product goes right to the promotion and generating buzz around it. It seems stressful, complicated, and terrifying, but it doesn’t have to be.

When it comes to launching a product, you have to make sure that your it is unique, appealing, innovative, and most of all, marketable. The launch is just the cherry on top to the final push for your product.

Here are some things to keep in mind, which will vastly help the process of a product launch (and ease the headache):
  • Have an appealing design: Potential customers are quick to judge when they look at a product, so it is important to have a design that is appealing and will draw in people’s eyes. This will generate curiosity for them to learn more about your product.
  • Timing: Timing is essential for products, especially if it’s seasonal. Or even if your product isn’t seasonal but could be in some aspects, you may be able to push for more interest in your product if it was released during a certain season.
  • Have a target: Products can appeal to a universal audience, but you also have to keep in mind who would have the most interest in your product and target them. For example, if your product appeals to the young-adult/college crowd, you might want to advertise on Facebook. If your product appeals to teens, maybe try Myspace.
  • Hire a PR agency that handles consumer product PR: A PR agency will help generate the buzz you need in order to make your product visible in the market. Besides getting traditional media exposure, PR agencies can also plan launch parties, giveaway and promotions, and use social media to interact with potential consumers.

The FDA is going after General Mills for claiming that Cheerios is "clinically proven to lower cholesterol" without getting approved as a new drug. In a letter to General Mills, the FDA says that the labeling on the Cheerios boxes is "in serious violation" of federal rules and that Cheerios, " may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application." The letter further states, "Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined that your Cheerios® Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease." The Cheerios box states the following : "Did you know that in just 6 weeks Cheerios can reduce bad cholesterol by an average of 4 percent? Cheerios is the only leading cold cereal clinically proven to lower cholesterol. A clinical study showed that

After Pittsburgh teenager Sarah Deluliis was allegedly attacked by her ex-boyfriend, 17 year-old Robertino DeAngelis, the girl's family hoped that DeAngelis would receive the appropriate punishment for his crime. Instead, he would be tried in juvenile court  and charged with attempted homicide after beating Deluliis over the head with a hammer. The family made several appeals to the office of the district attorney but were repeatedly denied. Desperate, the family turned to Forge Communications in order to have their voice heard. The family explained, " We're desperate. The juvenile system is not equipped to deal with such a violent act... I'm just a mom of a young daughter that we're trying to protect.

EQUIFAX PR CRISIS As many of you are well aware of by now (September 14th, 2017), Equifax had a major security breach in July, that they did not notify the public about until August of this year. When signing up to see if you were hacked at the website they recommended, be very careful as they have added a clause which would limit your participation in a class action law suit, which is surely on the way. The company has made a series of PR mistakes along the way- and it's expected they will look after their stock price before taking care of their hacked customers. Educate yourself, and keep an eye on your credit card, and credit reports! Visit the FTC site for more info on the status of this PR Nightmare, hopefully Equifax has a Crisis Management or Crisis Communication team on call 24 hours a day for the next, well, forever! (updated October 10th 2017) Well it looks like the fight isn't quite over for Equifax. It would appear that their beloved CEO and much of their commun
