    From OxiClean to Startups: The 3-Phase Launch Blueprint Driving $2B in Sales

    When most entrepreneurs set out to launch a new product, they don’t realize the odds are stacked against them. The harsh truth? Nearly 95% of product launches fail. But Jon LaClare, founder of Harvest Growth, knew there had to be a better way. Through years of experience working with both Fortune 500 giants and scrappy startups, Jon developed the Perfect Launch System—a three-phase blueprint that has helped over 300 products succeed, scale, and reach profitability faster than anyone thought possible. From billion-dollar brands like OxiClean to emerging startups like Puffin Drinkware, this system has proven to be effective across industries by replacing guesswork with a step-by-step process: Prepare, Produce, and Profit. What began as a way to help smaller businesses compete against industry giants has now become a framework with a 10X higher success rate than the industry average. By combining affordable market research, competitive analysis, strategic video content, and data-driven campaign funnels, the Perfect Launch System transforms risky ideas into sustainable, thriving businesses. In today’s episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:  The 3-phase Perfect Launch System (Prepare, Produce, Profit) that delivers consistent results across hundreds of launchesHow to conduct market research on a small budget to validate products before spending bigWhy competitive analysis is the secret weapon for standing out and filling market gapsThe 10 video formats that reliably boost engagement and conversionsHow to design funnels that guide cold audiences into loyal, repeat customersThe 4-step Profit Model—Convert, Excite, Grow, Promote—that creates word-of-mouth advocacy and sustainable growthReal-world case studies from OxiClean, Peter Thomas Roth Skincare, and Puffin Drinkware showing how this blueprint works in practice  If you’ve ever felt like launching a product is a gamble, this episode will show you how to stack the odds in your favor, minimize risk, and scale with confidence.

  7. The Science of Product Launches: How We Used OxiClean's Formula to Generate $2 Billion Across 300+ Brands

    27 DE JUN.

    The Science of Product Launches: How We Used OxiClean's Formula to Generate $2 Billion Across 300+ Brands

    Last week, we discussed the direct response marketing strategies that made OxiClean a household name and helped it defeat major competitors. This week, we reveal how, using and refining these same strategies, we at Harvest Growth successfully launched 300+ new brands and generated over $2 billion in revenue. After leaving his position at Kraft Foods and OxiClean, our Founder, Jon LaClare, saw an opportunity that others missed - many entrepreneurs had great products but lacked a proven system to launch them profitably. So he founded Harvest Growth with a mission: to take those battle-tested OxiClean strategies and make them work for any entrepreneur, in any category. While other agencies played the traditional "spend and hope" game, we treated marketing like a science and evolved from TV campaigns to today's digital-first approach that can start with just $100 per day. The core principles remain unchanged, but the tools and platforms have dramatically improved our ability to succeed. In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover: The highly effective marketing strategy that's launched more than 300 products across every categoryWhy starting small and scaling based on data consistently outperforms massive upfront investmentsWhy the Perfect Launch System works on both traditional and digital platformsEssential productivity strategies to help entrepreneurs manage overwhelm while scalingWant the complete roadmap to launching and scaling your products?
