GLOBALLY LAUNCHING A PRODUCT

Global companies today face the problem of initiating a global product launch, the
situation of which has been further complicated by the changing global structure. A
central characteristic of this is varied cultures, and, more importantly the multicultural
situation of nations today. Companies are under more and more pressure to speed up
the commercialization of new products in order to increase product lifetime and costeffective value, at the same time keeping up with the changing trends of the industry.
The major challenge in an international product launch is to ensure you deliver current
and accurate product marketing materials to distribution channels, retailers and salesteams securely and cost effectively.
Other challenges in an international product launch include:
Addressing costs associated with a decentralized, in-country model

Supporting public relations across multiple markets


Ensuring international product requirements for Engineering, QA, Marketing and
Sales are met
Planning for multi-language press tours, seminars, product presentations and training
sessions
Ensuring consistent testing and qualification
Other challenges include; meeting growth targets include changes in consumers
demographics, increased competition in mature markets, and increased spending on
services, and the rise of private labels and the low success rate of new brands.
The Oxford University Press defines global marketing as marketing on a worldwide
scale reconciling or taking commercial advantage of global operational differences,
similarities and opportunities in order to meet global objectives. (Oxford University
Press Glossary of Marketing Terms).
Marketing constitutes the core of an international product launch. The strategy
involved can make or break a product.
Marketing constitutes the core of an international product launch. The strategy
involved can make or break a product.
The perfect international product launch involves managing the development and
support of complex products and services throughout the entire lifecycle from product
design to product build to post-sale service. It includes the integration of traditional
new product introduction (product innovation, design and collaboration) with sourcing
and procurement, supply chain planning and execution, and service the entire
product lifecycle.
The importance of being first to market is very crucial in an international product
launch. Besides the instinctive idea that it is best to be first, other measurable benefits
are possible for those that get to the market sooner with innovative products and
services.
As product lifecycles continue to decrease, compressing development cycles and
accelerating new product introductions are becoming critical. Product complexity is
also increasing substantially, making development and product introduction even more
challenging.

BASTA: 10 STEP LAUNCH PROGRAM


1. Evaluation of local market opportunities
In order to leverage local market opportunities, a pre-launch analysis of the
competitive space and customer demand in key country markets is a necessity. Basta
will not risk missing out on new opportunities to increase international revenue by
avoiding a market check-up prior to the global launch. Existing and emerging markets
around the world can offer hidden opportunities for expanding global market reach. In
order to develop a revenue plan that supports global launch objectives, Basta will look
into the market data to build a strong business case and secure budget for local
markets.
2. Creation of a global plan and roadmap

Bastas global launch plan provides a clear vision and roadmap to facilitate execution
by cross-functional and cross-regional teams. It will to be developed and delivered at
least 4-5 months prior to launch to ensure effective execution through timely adoption
of messaging, strategies, and production of deliverables. Drafting Bastas global
launch plan also provides the opportunity to engage teams worldwide. Basta team will
ensure early input from key functional and country teams who will drive global and
local marketing, communication, and sales readiness activities. Objectives,
milestones, and success metrics will be realistic, time-sensitive and locally adaptable.
The launch manager will collaborate with teams and ensure early participation in
launch efforts. In addition to key
objectives,
strategies,
and
tactics, the plan will include a
timeline and a checklist of core
deliverables
that can be
reviewed for country marketing
and localization needs.
3. Designing an effective
launch process worldwide
Bastas market success will be
dependent upon its internal
infrastructure and its ability to
coordinate a centralized strategy
with local execution. This will
be determined by its ability to
build a launch management
framework and process where it
will leverage internal team
knowledge, manage project
flow, and effectively deliver product on time and on budget in every part of the world.
Not a small task! Basta will build a global roadmap that accounts for key milestones
in the global readiness areas of product, marketing, communication, and sales. Basta
will then utilize project management tools to develop key roles, responsibilities, tasks,
and timelines that support the roadmap including the critical dependencies for
meeting global launch objectives. Our deliverables matrix will include key
globalization, localization, and translation dates for completion of marketing and sales
tools required for local markets. And we will now be ready to execute.
4. Engaging launch teams across cultures | Networking strategies
When launching Basta, a successful outcome will always be dependent on team
alignment. We will ensure understanding, participation, and ownership from crossfunctional and cross-regional team members. Building our network of team members
across functions and cultures takes careful planning and relationship building. A
constant Check in with our team members around the world and create a networking
strategy is the first and foremost step. Bringing out the organization chart and identify
our key drivers and influencers for the following: 1) Strategy Team (Executive

sponsors), 2) Core Team (Cross-functional and cross-regional members), and 3) Local


Team (country marketing managers).
Basta will then be prepared to assess its networking space. We will organize the
appropriate foundation to build a network across the organization. Followed by
making sure everyone is aligned with your launch objectives. Making our core team
onboard and committed to the project. Helping the launch management team align
with influential groups within the organization. And finally, ascertaining the Americas,
EMEA, and APAC regions are aligned.
5.
Communicating
across
functions and cultures
When communicating around the
world, Basta will ensure that it
aligns teams and manages time
zones effectively. In order to
maximize awareness, interest, and
participation in the global launch
Basta will have a communication
strategy that will engage team
members in the Americas, EMEA,
and APAC. This strategy will
address when communication takes
place, to whom it should be
communicated, and what will be
communicated during the launch
process. Bastas communication
strategy will engage crossfunctional and cross-regional team
members through the use of regular
and consistent communications.
6. Testing Bastas message and
image
There are many global marketing
mistakes that have been made by
well-intentioned global strategists who assumed similarity rather than difference. In
Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation"
was presented as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead." Nike offended
Muslims when the "flaming air" logo for its Nike Air sneakers looked too similar to
the Arabic form of God's name "Allah". Microsoft offended customers in Latin
American markets when a Spanish language version of XP Windows asked users to
select their gender between not specified, male, or bitch (for example,
hembra means woman in Venezuela while it means bitch in Nicaragua). To avoid
embarrassing and costly mistakes, Basta will ensure that it works with a recognized
translation service and review the final copy and image with our country-marketing

manager for context and relevance.


7. Internationalizing customer communications
One way to leverage resources and reduce localization costs is to internationalize
communications. This simply means
that key international messages are
incorporated into global communication
vehicles created at Bastas headquarters
in order to benefit international offices
and local markets. The international
message supports local marketing
efforts by country managers. It also
positions the company as a global
player. This includes references to a
worldwide
rollout
and
product
availability in key geographic markets
in the worldwide announcement.
References to country-specific success
stories and the use of analogies and
examples that will be understood by an
international
audience
will
be
considered.
8. Ensuring timely and localized
deliverables
Since increasing global market reach is
a growing priority for Basta, we are
starting to pay more attention to local
marketing needs. Our global marketing strategy, which succeeds in avoiding local
customer rejection, will focus on localized products and marketing tools. Our bags
will address local requirements for design features, packaging, and pricing among
others. Marketing positioning and messaging will consider the language, tone, and
imagery. Internal teams will select and design culturally appropriate communication
vehicles determined by language, terminology, design, color, style, format, and
delivery.
Timing is a critical component for ensuring effective support and execution on
announcement day and post-launch. In order to provide the local marketing and sales
teams with the means to succeed, Basta will ensure that translated and localized tools
meet an early production timeline to guarantee delivery prior to launch.
9. Delivering effective support tools to ensure global readiness
Bastas marketing and sales teams will be aligned in every corner of the globe. Sales
team members will be engaged early in the launch planning process in order to
achieve launch objectives for sales readiness, sales tool development, and customer
engagement. An inventory of sales tools will be reviewed and selected for relevance
and value in supporting local marketing initiatives. An important and often overlooked

opportunity involves the development of international customer references and local


success stories. Active use of quotes and testimonials from international customers
will be extracted that will help the country teams accelerate sales and positions the
Basta as a global player.

10. Enabling local sales teams through training


Basta will be getting ready to launch and our sales team will speak the same language.
We will ensure the same message in different countries. When ensuring sales
readiness globally, Basta will to develop awareness, understanding, and knowledge.
This will be accomplished by targeting local training needs and resources. When
planning for local sales readiness, Basta will secure time and availability from product
managers, trainers, and thought leaders who can travel to the regions. In addition to
field communication and support tools, a series of education activities will reach all
members of the worldwide sales force. Rapid e-learning sessions followed by live
training for each region will ensure that sales teams are ready to go at launch.
Time to market, efficient processes, and knowledgeable teams will be the core of
global launch and market success. When reviewing our global readiness checklist,
Basta will ensure that they have the capabilities to secure timely delivery through
strategic planning, effective communications, operational efficiency, and globally
responsive teams. Basta will create a global launch plan and roadmap for both global
and local needs. We will communicate effectively with teams across functions and
cultures and educate teams to connect with local and global customer needs. We will
leverage internal resources while increasing understanding and participation within
our organization. Bastas global launch readiness will be its competitive advantage
and well enjoy increased marketing and sales results around the world.

Our launching will happen through tourism fairs internationally.


Philanthropists and celebrities will endorse our bags and
showcase them on their social media accounts garnering
attention for Basta.
This will be followed by exporting as per demands.
