About this session
A week-by-week plan for the launch window, built from campaigns we have actually run rather than from a template.
Covers advance reader copies and when to send them, retailer listing optimization, what a launch email sequence should contain, whether advertising is worth it at your stage, and how to tell activity that helps from activity that only feels productive.
Includes a candid section on what none of it can promise.
What you will take away
- A twelve-week launch calendar you can adapt
- How to run an advance reader copy programme without paying for reviews
- Which launch activities genuinely move a listing and which do not
