Listen to feedback during launch,adapt the product based on thefeedback and become market leader.At least, that’s what Kodak did.
@Steven_InSites [email protected]
50.000 request for proposal6 months for the launch!Oh, and millions of online views.
@Steven_InSites [email protected]
Pre-marketing boosts success.If you hide your innovations, the result is simple: nobody will know about it. Claim a product or a domain before you actually have a product ready.
@Steven_InSites [email protected]
Public co-creation is possible.Telenet’s Yelo was launched 6 months before the product was final. First users did not have to pay for the product. Telenet just asked for feedback.
