You have an exciting, industry-leading, innovative new product that you're ready to launch. Unfortunately, the last time you were in a similar situation, you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a glitzy ad campaign that fizzled before your product was on the market. On top of that weak showing, your business is also experiencing a reduction in your customer base, and the worrisome part of that is that it is long-term customers who are bailing. At a time when your new product should be generating high expectations of a winning quarter, your staff is fighting to keep morale on an even keel, and there is widespread concern about how successful the new product might be.
As a manager, you're baffled. How can you make this promotion work? How can you be reasonably sure the product will get to the right target? How can you get to your customers? Clearly you need to demonstrate to them that this new product meets a need they didn't even know they had. Customer relationship management solutions can work for you in this situation.
