Plan and run a product launch

A launch is a sequence with a timeline, not a single announcement.

Free public layer

The idea, in one paragraph

A product launch funnel is a time-bound, the item-launch-funnels progression from awareness to purchase designed to build anticipation, create urgency, and drive conversions for a new product or service release. Product launch funnels use a sequence of emails and landing pages to build hype, educate the audience, and drive sales. The typical structure includes: teaser phase, launch announcement, launch day, and post-launch follow-up. Urgency is a key driver—intense urgency can produce 3% conversion rates, while mild urgency can reach 5%. The funnel should be validated with live runs before transitioning to evergreen.
