Around 30,000 new products launch every year<\/a>. Many of them fail<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The biggest reasons? Poor product-market fit, positioning, and messaging. Effectively, they don\u2019t understand their customer, nor where to play or how to win.<\/p>\n

Many companies are so focused on building the perfect product that they put off their growth efforts until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

In this article, you\u2019ll learn how to create a product marketing strategy that reaches your ideal audience and converts them into customers. We\u2019ll cover positioning, messaging, pricing, and team alignment to help you get ready for launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also show you how to plan for launch and gather data to keep your product relevant in the long term.<\/p>\n

What is a product marketing strategy?<\/h2>\n

Your product marketing strategy is a roadmap for how you position, price, and promote your new product in the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what tells you where your biggest fans are and how to reach them.<\/p>\n

Your strategy should integrate with the product life cycle<\/a>, informing how you market your product from development to growth. Its creation and implementation require input from product managers, product marketing managers<\/a>, marketers, and sales teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A good product marketing strategy helps customers perceive you as a better product for their needs, and through the constant feedback loop, you become the best solution.<\/p>\n

ConvertKit<\/a> launched in 2013 to face early-on-the-scene competitors like Mailchimp<\/a> and Constant Contact<\/a>. Instead of quitting following a slow first two years, founder and CEO, Nathan Barry, doubled down on a niche: email marketing for bloggers.<\/p>\n

Barry used product marketing<\/a> to pinpoint ConvertKit\u2019s positioning and messaging and evolve into the specialized email marketing suite it is today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The platform can\u2019t compete with the big players on features, so instead it focuses on specifically and purposefully addressing the needs of their users through content.\u00a0<\/p>\n
