Marketing Partnerships

Product launch strategy and marketing

A product launch strategy for Australian businesses: one calendar for the press, video, ads and email, so launch week lands together.

Product launch

A product launch strategy with one calendar

Rock Solid Marketing builds the product launch strategy and runs the marketing for Australian businesses bringing a new product or service to market. The product is nearly ready, the date is set, and the press release, the ads, the email and the social posts are still separate ideas on separate to-do lists.

We put everything on one launch calendar in three stages: before launch, launch week and after. Each piece tells the same story, so a customer who reads about you in the paper recognises your ad and finds the same offer on your website.

Partnership plans start from $4,500 + GST a month, with press releases from $1,000 + GST. If a single press release and an email to your customers will do the job, we’ll tell you before we quote.

How a launch runs

Your new product launch, stage by stage

A launch is a short burst of attention, so everything that can be prepared is prepared before the date.

Check before you launch

A small focus group with likely buyers tests the name, the offer and the price while there’s still time to change them.

One message for every channel

We write the core message, the headline offer and the proof points first, then adapt them for the press, ads, email and social without changing the meaning.

Press release and media

Our PR team writes and distributes the release to journalists and publications, and follows up with local media where the story fits.

A launch video

A short 2D animated video, made with the animators we work with, explains the product in seconds. It works on social, in ads and on the launch page.

Paid ads on launch week

Meta and Google ads switch on as the news breaks, aimed at the people most likely to buy, and point to a launch page with one clear action.

Your existing customers first

The people who already buy from you are your easiest first sales. An email and a social post give them early access or first notice.

How it works

How we run your product launch

Five steps turn your product launching plan into launch week, from the first call to the post-launch review.

  1. Free discovery call

    A free 30-minute call about your product, your buyers and your launch date, so we can see what is realistic.

  2. Launch plan

    We set the message, choose the channels and lay out the calendar for before launch, launch week and after.

  3. Make the assets

    We write the release, make the video and ads, update the launch page and draft the emails, all for your approval.

  4. Launch week

    Everything goes out in order: customers first, then the press, then paid ads as the news spreads.

  5. Review

    We report what each channel brought in and agree what to keep running after launch.

Product launch plan

What goes into your product launch plan

Your launch plan is a calendar with three stages. Before launch, we check the market, settle the message, and make the assets: the release, the video, the ads, the launch page and the emails. Launch week puts them out together, in the order that builds the most attention.

After launch, we review what each channel brought in and keep the ones that work. When we launched a personal injury brand for Maloney Anderson Lawyers, that meant a TV commercial, print, paid Meta ads and a press release, run over 6 months.

  • Market check and message
  • Release, video, ads and emails made early
  • Launch page with one clear action
  • Everything scheduled on one calendar
  • Review of what each channel brought in

Prepared before the date, together on the day.

All FAQs

Our launch work runs through partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month for 28 hours, with Standard at $5,500 + GST and Advanced at $7,500 + GST a month. A single press release starts from $1,000 + GST, a 2D animated launch video from $2,500 + GST, and ad spend is paid to the platforms on top.

Check the market with likely buyers, settle one clear message and offer, and prepare every asset before the date. Then launch to your existing customers first, release the news to the media and switch on ads as attention builds. After launch, keep the channels that bring in sales.

It depends on how ready the product, the assets and the market check are, so we agree dates on a launch calendar after the discovery call. Some pieces have set timeframes: a 2D animated video takes 2 to 3 weeks. Our personal injury brand launch for Maloney Anderson ran over 6 months.

Know who will buy it and why, price it against what they use now, and decide where they will buy it. Then plan the launch around those buyers: the channels they use, the message that matters to them and a simple way to buy or enquire. A new product launch strategy ties those decisions together.

Give people a reason to watch the date: a sneak peek for existing customers, a waitlist or early-access offer, a story the local media will want, and short videos on social media. Keep every teaser consistent with the final offer, so the hype turns into sales rather than disappointment.

Use the channels your buyers already trust, all at once and with one message: email to existing customers, a press release, social posts and a short video, then paid ads aimed at likely buyers. Point everything to one launch page with a single clear action, and track where each sale comes from.

Build a launch page or product page that loads fast and makes buying easy, then drive people to it with email, social media and paid ads. A digital product launch strategy also plans the follow-up: reminder emails, retargeting ads and reviews from the first buyers.

No, our partnership plans have no lock-in contracts, so you can run a launch and step back afterwards. Press releases and videos are quoted as separate jobs. The ad accounts, content and launch page we create stay with your business.
