- “Unsuccessful launches happen to everyone. If it does happen to you don’t let it stop you!”
- Jess shares a story of early Epheriell product launch experiences.
- If your launches do not perform to your expectations, analyse why. Did you stay “on brand” for your business? Is this something where there is a customer out there for this?
- Share the process with ideas, prototypes, sketches on social media. Ask your audience what they think.
- Bring your audience into the development of your product and build a sense of connection.
