Don’t be the best kept secret, right. If you have something to offer the world, and you actually believe in that, then you need to be confident enough to tell people about that. You shouldn’t come off as, “Yeah well, you know, this is just another photography offering, and I think I’m pretty good.” That’s not the attitude you should have. If you have a product, if you have a service, and you’re confident in it, then you need to exude that confidence onto others.
Today we are chatting about a topic that I’ve been wanting to tackle for quite some time now: how to build hype around a website launch, or really any launch for that matter. Vanessa Kynes joins me for the conversation and we cover a few do’s and don’ts, and then discuss 13 different tactics that you can use to amplify your next launch.
Website launches are a great opportunity to generate some buzz around your business. New websites often mark some big event. This might be the launch of a new business or an existing business making some sort of change like pivoting or launching a new product or service.
Whatever the reason for the launch of a new website, it can be an opportune time to build a new audience, re-engage your existing community, or get people excited about a new direction. There are so many different ways to do something bold and fun while people are watching and their curiosity is piqued.
