The Challenging Odds for New Products

The first year of a new product is crucial to the success of its entire life cycle. However, Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, says more than 30,000 new products are launched every year, and 95 percent of them FAIL. And of those 5 percent that survive year one, only 11 percent of a new product’s customers remain engaged, according to data leader Catalina. With more noise and clutter than ever, these odds require breakthrough strategy and integration for successful product launches. How will your next product launch be in the five percent that succeed?

Are you looking to launch a new product this year? Do you have the right partners involved to ensure your product is successful? While many companies plan for product launches within their own teams, internal employees may miss the opportunity to look at outside influences that can impact a product’s first year success. It’s often called “internal bias” or “tunnel vision,” and it can be lethal to new products.
