“The Magic Is In the Pre-launch”: Why Live Launches Don’t Work & What We Can Do Instead w/Brenna McGowan

Traditional, high-pressure, hustle-based live launches don’t make sense for moms, but even in an evergreen model, we still have to release stuff. Is there a way to do a launch without the usual nail-biting urgency and stress?    Instead of jumping straight into a launch, a pre-launch is a much better way to build buzz and momentum, while still creating the space to build a relationship with people.    How do we use our content as the machine behind a launch? Why does a pre-launch strategy better serve our customers?    In this episode, I’m joined by a Boss Mom I believe is doing launches the right way. Strategic copywriter, marketing consultant and launch expert, Brenna McGowan shares her approach to releasing stuff and why it’s perfect for moms.  A pre-launch gives you time to collect data, use your content in a fun and exciting way and move people along that awareness journey. -Brenna McGowan   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   The 3 beliefs that make people want to buy from usWhat makes people decide to buy something from us and why do live launches work against this journey?    Why the pre-launch planning process is so criticalWe don’t have to put things out as quickly as humanly possible to succeed.
