Marketing a New Product
Launching a new product or service for a business is always a challenging time, and part of the challenge is knowing when to start marketing. There are arguments for waiting until the product or service is ready and tested, and there are also arguments that the best time to start marketing is before the final product or service is even ready. Usually, the most effective strategy depends on what the business is trying to sell.
