Explore the retail and ecommerce product launch formula to out-design, out-source, and out-profit your competition. New Consumer product launches are inherently risky, and the odds of success are not in your favor. 7 out of 10 consumer product launches fail; 14 out of 15 products on the home shopping channels fail; less than 2% of inventions ever make any money. In this podcast, and within the Product Launch Hazzards community, Inc. Columnist and product launch expert Tracy Hazzard, and industrial designer and product development expert Tom Hazzard, share the product launch formula, strategy, and resources that flip the odds and will make your product launch successful.
