In The Beginning

Written by Jay Nagdeman


The greatest occupational high that financial services Marketing Directors experience is bringing a vision to market through a financial product or service innovation. Seeking to experiencerepparttar same euphoria that great inventors like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Edison must have felt, they follow their dream of implementing a financial product idea that they believe will generate significant incremental sales. Unfortunately, that dream seldom becomes reality.

We have been monitoring financial product launches for over two decades and now recognize thatrepparttar 119956 failure rate of financial products and services is well in excess of 80%. Despite these odds,repparttar 119957 search forrepparttar 119958 next big financial product idea lives inrepparttar 119959 hearts and minds of almost every worthy financial services Marketing Director.

Only a few decades ago,repparttar 119960 vast majority of new financial products and services introduced intorepparttar 119961 marketplace were successful. In today’s cluttered competitive financial services marketing environment, however, virtually all financial product and service categories have matured and are over-represented. Now, to become a marketplace success, a new financial product usually has to take market share from already established brands.

Financial product and service categories have become so saturated that market structures exhibit what economists call monopolistic competition. This apparent oxymoron describes a market in which no single brand dominates, where price competition can be intense and where differentiation among competitors is not so much in performance as in brand perception.

When planned and orchestrated effectively,repparttar 119962 product launch activities surroundingrepparttar 119963 introduction of a new financial product or service can be as large a factor in its success as its design or pricing. Experienced marketers know that:

* Pre-launch activities should build anticipation and interest, while internal activities should provide enthusiasm and support forrepparttar 119964 forthcoming product launch. * Product launch activities should build visibility and momentum. * Post-launch activities should sustainrepparttar 119965 interest and momentum and serve asrepparttar 119966 foundation on whichrepparttar 119967 firm can build a sustained, cumulative marketing process.

There is a high cost associated withrepparttar 119968 failure of new financial products. We have done a number of autopsies on failed financial product and service launches and have concluded thatrepparttar 119969 following key issues arerepparttar 119970 major influences for new financial product and service success or failure:

* People always hope for new and better concepts and approaches that offer promise and fulfillment. Therefore product launch positioning and messaging should fully recognize that customers buy expectations, not products and services. * Do not underestimaterepparttar 119971 importance of a product name. A good name can serve as a marketplace banner that generates greater visibility—and acceptance. A name that communicates benefits gets extra mileage and provides opportunities for effective, lower-cost branding.
