The success of a launch doesn’t start on launch day; it starts weeks (sometimes even months) before you release the product. Building anticipation is all about creating that “I can’t wait to get my hands on this” feeling. So, how can you make people genuinely excited about what’s coming?
TODAY’S TIP
PRE-LAUNCH
Creating a Killer Pre-Launch Campaign
First, give your audience a taste. Teasers, sneak peeks, and hints about what’s coming are key to building anticipation. Think about what’s exciting about your product. Is it a unique feature? A problem it solves better than anything else? Use that to shape your teasers. Share these on social media, in your newsletter, and with your email subscribers. The goal is to let people feel like they’re getting insider knowledge.
Next, tell a story around your product. Why did you create it? What problem did you set out to solve, and why does it matter? Sharing the backstory can make people feel connected to your mission and excited to support it. Talk about your journey, your challenges, and what’s gone into making the product a reality. This transparency builds trust and connection.
Consider setting up a pre-launch waitlist. A waitlist not only gives you a list of warm leads but also creates a feeling of exclusivity. You can even offer small perks for signing up early, like early access, a discount, or bonus content. When people know they’re getting something special, they’re more likely to take action.

Try the internet’s easiest File API
Tired of spending hours setting up file management systems? Pinata’s File API makes it effortless. With simple integration, you can add file uploads and retrieval to your app in minutes, allowing you to focus on building features instead of wasting time on unnecessary configurations. Our API provides fast, secure, and scalable file management without the hassle of maintaining infrastructure.
Lastly, leverage partnerships and influencers. Find people or brands who align with your target market and see if they’ll share the word about your upcoming launch. These collaborations can introduce your product to a wider, yet still relevant, audience. Even a shoutout from someone with a modest following can make a big impact if their audience is highly engaged and relevant.
By creating anticipation well before launch day, you’re setting the stage for a successful release. A well-prepared audience is excited, ready to engage, and more likely to convert when the time finally arrives. So, start building the buzz early and make launch day one for the books!
