New Product Launch Success = Understanding the Social Response

Click to zoom

As many as 75% of new product introductions (NPIs) never reach their revenue or adoption targets. Why? Because companies cannot effectively monitor customers’ reception to the new product, and they are not able to deliver fast, coordinated responses to the issues and complaints that may arise as the product enters the market. Where do your customers’ first impressions move fastest? Today, the answer is social media.

React at the speed of social
