“The Magic Is In the Pre-launch”: Why Live Launches Don’t Work & What We Can Do Instead w/Brenna McGowan The Boss Mom Podcast

    • Marketing

Traditional, high-pressure, hustle-based live launches don’t make sense for moms, but even in an evergreen model, we still have to release stuff. Is there a way to do a launch without the usual nail-biting urgency and stress? 
 
Instead of jumping straight into a launch, a pre-launch is a much better way to build buzz and momentum, while still creating the space to build a relationship with people. 
 
How do we use our content as the machine behind a launch? Why does a pre-launch strategy better serve our customers? 
 
In this episode, I’m joined by a Boss Mom I believe is doing launches the right way. Strategic copywriter, marketing consultant and launch expert, Brenna McGowan shares her approach to releasing stuff and why it’s perfect for moms.
