Overview
A product or service launch is one of the highest-leverage marketing moments a business has — and one of the most commonly under-planned. Without a coordinated checklist and timeline, launch efforts become reactive: posts go out at the wrong time, email sequences are incomplete, key channels are missed entirely, and the post-launch window — where conversions often happen — gets no structured attention. This service builds a complete 3-phase launch marketing checklist and timeline tailored to your specific product, market, and available channels. The pre-launch phase covers everything needed to build awareness and list before the launch date. The launch day phase is a coordinated, hour-by-hour action guide. The post-launch phase covers the momentum and conversion actions that determine whether the initial spike translates into sustained results. Every task is assigned a suggested owner, a timing window, and a channel context — so the document is ready to execute, not just read. This product launch service is designed for businesses that need professional results quickly.
Who Is This For?
- Businesses launching a new product, service, or digital offering who want a structured, coordinated go-to-market execution plan
- Startups preparing for their first public launch who need a clear sequence of actions across multiple channels
- Solopreneurs and small teams who want to make sure nothing important is missed during a launch without having a full marketing department
- E-commerce brands launching a new product line or seasonal collection who want a repeatable launch framework
- SaaS and digital product companies releasing a new feature or version and wanting a structured internal launch coordination plan
- Service businesses introducing a new offering to their existing client base and wanting a coordinated multi-channel rollout plan

- The post-launch checklist is developed covering momentum and conversion activities
- All phases are assembled into the checklist document and timeline spreadsheet
- Deliverables are shared for your review, followed by one round of written revisions
Important Notes
- This service covers one product or service launch; multiple launches require separate engagements
- If the planned launch date is fewer than 4 weeks away at the time of the intake, the pre-launch phase will be compressed and prioritized accordingly — this will be clearly noted in the delivered plan
- Content creation is not included — the checklist specifies what content needs to be produced and when, but writing, designing, or producing that content is the client’s responsibility
- PR outreach and media contact lists are not provided — the checklist includes PR and press as a channel with recommended actions, but identifying and contacting journalists or publications is outside the scope of this service
- Paid advertising campaign setup and management are not included — the checklist includes paid amplification as a task with guidance on timing and channel, but execution is the client’s responsibility
- The checklist and timeline are tailored to the channels and team resources you describe in the intake — recommendations will not include channels or tactics that are not realistic given your stated situation
- The timeline begins after the intake form with all required information is received and confirmed

Requirements From Client
- A clear description of the product or service being launched — what it is, how it works, and what problem it solves
- Your target audience — who the launch is aimed at, and where they spend their time online and offline
- Your planned launch date — even an approximate date helps us structure the timeline correctly
- The marketing channels you currently have access to: email list (approximate size), social media platforms and follower counts, website, any existing partnerships, affiliate network, or press contacts
- Your team structure for the launch: who is responsible for what — or whether you are a solopreneur managing everything independently
- Your primary launch goal: maximize sales on launch day, build a waitlist, generate leads, grow an audience, or a combination
- Your approximate budget availability for paid amplification during the launch — even a rough range helps us calibrate the paid channel recommendations
Deliverables
- Product launch marketing checklist document in PDF format — covering all 3 phases with tasks, timing, channel assignments, and suggested task owners
- Editable version in Word or Google Doc format
- Launch timeline and checklist spreadsheet in Google Sheets or Excel — organized by phase, task, deadline, channel, and owner
Timeline
4 business days from the date the intake form with all required information is received and confirmed. If the planned launch date requires a compressed pre-launch timeline, this will be communicated and addressed before work begins.
Revision Policy
- Included revisions: 1 round of written revisions on all delivered documents
- What counts as a revision: Adjusting task timing or deadlines, adding or removing specific action items, modifying channel recommendations, updating task ownership assignments, or refining the launch day sequence based on your feedback
- What is NOT a revision: Rebuilding the checklist for a different product or a significantly changed launch strategy after delivery, adding a second product launch to the same plan, or requesting content writing or design assets — these are treated as new scope and priced separately

Professional Disclaimer
This service delivers a structured launch marketing plan based on the product description, audience, channels, and timeline provided by the client. Launch outcomes depend on the quality of the product, the relevance of the audience, the consistency of execution, and market conditions — all of which are outside the scope of this planning service. The checklist and timeline provide a coordinated execution structure; results depend on how completely and consistently the plan is implemented.
