Key Takeaways:

• Launching refers to a systematic online event aiming to get a product or service in front of an audience, inciting engagement and anticipation for purchase.
• The prelaunch phase is crucial, often involving waitlist creation or engaging launch events like webinars and social media blitzes to prime the audience.
• A launch period of 10-14 days is optimal to maintain momentum and provide adequate time for consumers to make purchasing decisions.
• During the launch, an entrepreneur should be highly visible, engage actively with potential consumers, and anticipate a surge of last-minute sales.
• Post-launch activities are essential, including soliciting feedback from non-buyers and offering modified versions of the product that could lead to future conversions.

Notable Quotes:

• "Launching is typically an online event and involves using all of your digital marketing strategies."

• "During the launch period, you are blanketing your social media, you are emailing your list as much as you're comfortable."
