For which product launches is SpecialChem a good choice?
Product launch is a generic term that encompasses various situations. Each launch is as unique as your objectives and value proposition. Still, we can group launches into three categories:
- Improved Value Proposition: You are launching a new grade in a well-established existing portfolio. You need to show the benefits of this improved grade to people who already know your company and existing products. We recommend that you focus on market education and buyer engagement. Consider brand awareness if you lack market recognition.
- New Application Penetration: You are launching a product into a new application or market segment. Your main challenges are to be known and trusted in these new markets and to find the right positioning to attract, educate and engage the relevant technical buyers.
- New Technology Introduction: You are launching a completely new products and grades. The challenge here starts with raising the technology awareness and educating the risk-adverse portion of specifiers and buyers in your target markets before extending into traditional buyers engagement.
