PRODUCT MANAGEMENT MARKETING STRATEGIES With the upsurge of technology, more and more products are launched every year. However, a great number of these products fail. Some common reasons great new products fail are a lack of proper understanding and product positioning to fit market needs. While it's important for a product to fit the company's vision, it's also important that it is a useful product that reaches its ideal audience and converts them into customers. This process is referred to as product marketing. A product marketing strategy is a roadmap that a company follows to position, price, and promote a new product as it enters the market. To launch a successful product, creating a research-based product marketing strategy that will capture consumers and create demand is important. Several effective strategies can be followed in this regard. However, the best of these strategies is a combination of both product management and product marketing techniques. Product management covers the vision and the problem-solving aspect of the product, while product marketing covers the customer essentials and provides for the positioning, messaging, and adoption of the product. Market Analysis This is an important aspect of the early-stage process, and it determines the success of a product marketing strategy. This aspect helps to validate the demand for a specific product and give insight into the specific need of the target customers. There are two ways this research can be carried out: Qualitative research - conducting surveys, customer interviews, focus groups, etc. Quantitative research - analyzing audience and customer data from online sources, industry studies, internal sources, and journals Altogether, the data obtained from customers help influence the product management cycle and how it affects the customers it targets. Define the Target Audience When customers decide to use a product, they do so because they assume that the company understands their expectations and needs. If they are disappointed with a product, a good percentage of them will switch to the competition. For this reason, product marketers need to define their target audience and understand their specific needs. When strategies are put in place to define the target audience, it helps to derive enough insight to make the right choices. The qualitative research from above can be broken down into behavioural drivers, mindsets, and obstacles for potential customers. This will help define the audience's needs and how they want to be served. Position and Solidify Your Product Message This is an important aspect of a product marketing strategy
