I. General introduction to the new product launch event

1.1. What is a new product launch event?

A new product launch event is an opportunity for businesses to officially introduce their new products or services to the public. It is an essential moment for companies to introduce and promote their new products/services to customers, consumers, partners, and the public.

A new product launch event can take various forms, ranging from simple receptions to larger programs with product experiential activities, exhibitions, presentations, and seminars. Moreover, organizing a professional and well-planned event not only creates a positive impression on customers and partners but also enhances the brand image.

1.2. Objectives of organizing a new product launch event

• Introduce the product and brand to the public

This can be seen as the first step in the process of introducing a new product to the market. The brand's new product or service will be directly introduced during the new product launch event to allow customers to recognize the emergence of the product or service and differentiate it from old products or similar products from competitors in the market.

• Providing a real experience

When attending the new product launch event, customers will have the opportunity to experience the product firsthand, which leads to a higher level of trust and more objective evaluations. Additionally, if the event successfully fulfills its role and leaves a positive impression on customers, they are likely to spread information about the event and the product through word of mouth or social media.

• Enabling direct feedback for the business before market release

Through product trial activities involving event attendees, businesses can gather feedback and evaluations from users regarding the product's strengths and weaknesses. This allows for updates, improvements, and ensuring that the products reaching consumers are of the highest quality.

• Creating effective media buzz

When a new product launch event is well-invested and generates significant attention, it attracts interest and helps more people become aware of the event. Specifically, when businesses announce the event to the public through social media or directly invite important customers and partners, it helps create a certain media buzz. Consequently, the product will receive broader publicity and have a long-lasting impact on the business.

1.3. Types of new product launch event organization

There are various types of new product launch events that are suitable for different purposes and target customers of the product. Here are some common types:

• Traditional launch event

A traditional product launch event is organized in a luxurious setting with the presence of important figures such as shareholders, customers, investors, and the press. During this event, the new product is introduced and presented in detail, including its features, functionality, advantages, pricing, and release date. Attendees have the opportunity to experience the product firsthand and may receive giveaways or awards. However, organizing a traditional launch event often involves high costs and requires meticulous planning.

• Online launch event

In the digital age, product launch events can also be organized online, and this format is becoming increasingly popular. During an online product launch event, the new product is directly introduced on social media platforms, YouTube channels, Zoom, or other applications. This allows customers to quickly and conveniently access and evaluate the new product. Businesses can also combine an offline event with an online product launch event using live streaming services to create a greater impact.

• Roadshow program for new product launch

A roadshow is a mobile activity that continuously moves between densely populated locations. The main purpose of a roadshow is to attract customer interest in the new product. To highlight the brand, roadshows often involve multiple people and the company's uniforms.

• Launch event at the factory or production facility

This type of event targets customers who regularly use the product, have an interest in the manufacturing process and wish to visit the factory or production facility. Customers will have the opportunity to tour the factory or production facility and directly experience the new product.

• Private new product launch program

This format involves organizing a product launch event exclusively for a selected and specially invited group of customers. With this approach, businesses can create a private, unique space that adds a sense of exclusivity and value to their product. Additionally, this format provides an opportunity for businesses to gather feedback and insights from important customers who can influence product promotion.

• Press conference for new product launch

However, this form of event can be costly as reputable media agencies need to be invited to attend. To attract the attention of attendees, creative and effective communication methods are necessary.

• Activation event

An activation event aims to attract consumer interest by offering free product trials. This form of product launch event is cost-effective and suitable for various types of businesses. Activation events are typically held in busy shopping centers or bustling urban areas with high foot traffic.

• Workshop for new product launch

A workshop for introducing the new product provides a more detailed approach. Instead of simply providing information and presenting basic details, workshops allow attendees to experience the product firsthand and learn from experts. This type of product launch event is suitable for products with complex features that require users to have basic knowledge or additional guidance.

However, the event concept can be adjusted and modified flexibly depending on the purpose and target audience of the business.
