New products flood the market daily. You can’t help but turn on late-night TV
and be confronted by one infomercial after another as you click through the
channels.
America’s entrepreneurs are rolling out new ideas and new items.
Millions of dollars are spent yearly developing and launching new products. But
did you know that only one in 10 will prove successful? And even fewer will enjoy
a long shelf life.
That’s the cold reality. But you can greatly enhance your chances for business
success if your “new and improved” product shares a series of 10 important
qualities.
I’ve helped launch more than 500 products, but I too have suffered a few clunkers
along the way. Here is the proven checklist that I’ve developed during my 30
years as an entrepreneur and investor.
Ask yourself these 10 questions before going public with your “revolutionary” or
“must have” product or service.
The 10 Questions
1. Does it have unique features? You can’t roll out the “same-old,
same-old.” Your product has got to have a cool new look that’ll make
the consumer sit up and take notice.
10. Can you answer the questions the viewer is thinking? You must be
prepared for any and all questions that could arise over your
product. Put yourself in the shoes of consumers, and think of all the
questions they could ask.
