The fatal flaw in the launch model
Most launches convert 5–10%. But what happens to the other 90–95% of buyers? | | |
Most launches are considered “successful” if they convert around 5–10%.
But that also means something most operators never stop to think about.
90–95% of interested buyers didn’t purchase during the promotion.
Not because they weren’t interested.
But because the launch window closed before they finished deciding.
So the real question becomes:
What happens to those buyers next?
Do they come back to you when they’re ready…
Or do they buy from whoever runs the next promotion?
I put together a short strategy briefing that walks through this dynamic and why most launches quietly leave a large portion of buyer demand behind.
It takes about six minutes.
P.S. There’s also a simple calculator inside that estimates how much demand your last launch may have created but never captured.
