Book Description

2010
Building on eight years of knowledge and data compiled from Schneider's Most Memorable New Product Launch Survey (MMNPL), The NEW Launch Plan: 152 Tips, Tactics and Trends from the Most Memorable New Products, examines successful launch strategies and tactics used by top tier consumer product companies. The annual Most Memorable New Product Launch Survey, sponsored by Schneider Associates, IRI and Sentient Decision Science, surveys more than 1,000 U.S. consumers about the most memorable new product launches of the year, as well as current purchasing and behavioral trends.

Testimonials:

"You never get a second chance to launch a new product, so you'd better make sure you do it right the first time by reading Joan Schneider's new book, which is loaded with helpful advice and case histories. A particularly valuable guide in today's era of social media."

- Al Ries, Author, War in the Boardroom

"Joan Schneider lays out the path to new product success in The New Launch Plan. With the failure rate for new product introductions continuing to rise, this book is a must read "bible" for every marketer."

- Phil Lempert, The Supermarket Guru

"In today's always on, YouTube-infested, Twitter-centric world it's much tougher to launch a new product than even a few years ago. If you're ready to launch a new consumer product into the national market, The New Launch Plan is your blueprint for success."

- David Meerman Scott, Bestselling Author, The New Rules of Marketing & PR

"While most business books are just lots of words on a page, The New Launch Plan makes creative use of graphics and images to highlight topics covered in the book."

- Steve Garfield, Consultant

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a bible for best practices for product launch September 13, 2010
Format:Hardcover
This book is chock full of very good information. It is a bible for best practices for product launch. The authors ran annual surveys n the most memorable product launches . Results are listed on [...]. For our practice in B2B in the high tech world the bulk of the examples were in the retail sector, but there was a great discussion about Tweetdeck. Any marketer worth their PR ribbons must read this book. I found the chapters on success and metrics to be of great value. Some useful quotes:

* The First Moment of Truth has moved from the retail shelves to the Internet/Facebook and blogs.
* Supply shock is creating a product that is required by customers, not a choice (ie flu vaccine)
* If you create key messages without a framework you wil be mired in wordsmithing before you know it.
* Media members are short staffed, covering multiple beats - it behooves you to help them as much as possible
* Social media is another form of online customer service - do it well or do not do it

Well written and easy to get through. Good one for a 3 hr plane ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Launching a new product? You need this book April 21, 2010
Format:Hardcover
Over my 26 years in B2B marketing I have read hundreds of books on sales and marketing. Some have been good but very few have been great. The New Launch Plan by Joan Schneider goes into the Great category. Full of research from years worth of studies is one item that gives the book value. The other is how Joan takes the time to talk about how it relates to your own business and then gives you over 150 tips and tactics to build off of. Keep these new additions coming! Well worth every penny

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless May 24, 2010
Format:Hardcover
As a product manager supervising a current product launch, this book has been invaluable. Joan has done a great job discussing the practical must-do techniques, step-by-step, while also providing real-world case studies that enable you to apply what you've learned toward your own specific challenges. A solid must-read if you're launching a new product.
