What needs to be perfect with your product before launch?

by
I've just made the most difficult decision to put off my product launch until after a week later because I thought we are not ready. A few shake-ups here and there. But this, in my opinion, while it is a setback, I see it instead as an opportunity to re-evaluate what we currently have. And make sure we get it right with our launch. We're working on making our product worthy of this community. And we are working hard at it. What is a non-negotiable for product launches in your opinion? Let's hear your thoughts. UPDATE: We finally fixed the issue we had and resolved to go live this Saturday. :) I can't thank you all enough for all your amazing answers. We'll keep working hard on our product even post-launch. But of course, those early feedbacks will be vital to our growth.☺️ We are going live on PH on Saturday. Please find us here: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Thanks for your support.

Nothing I think
Emmanuel Nwosu
Nothing. It is all about the experience and improvement of our products, companies, teams, etc. But for sure it is great to make it as perfect as possible from your sight.

@serhii_uspenskyi I agree, Serhii. Thanks.

No product is perfect and most of the products not being launched because of this mindset “I will launch once it is error free, get some perfection, some new things that no one ever seen” It’s better to launch your product with imperfection rather than not launching at all. Once it is live, you will going to get better motivation and good vibes which helps you to fix things faster and this way you can add more creativity.

@dhruv_sharma26 I agree. Thanks, Dhruv.

First and foremost, the product should deliver exactly what it promises. It's all about meeting expectations, you know? Secondly, it should be user-friendly and easy to use. Nobody wants to deal with a complicated mess, right? Speaking from a marketing perspective, it's also a good idea to have a snappy little intro video that quickly explains what the product is all about. It helps new users get a grasp of things without getting confused. If you need any help with creating an awesome animated intro video, feel free to hit me up [ LinkedIn- https://bit.ly/nikLinkedin ]!

Your feeling about the timing. If you believe its ready to launch, then go for it
Emmanuel Nwosu
@ekrcet Yesss! We are ready! Loose ends are all tied up and we've been listed: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... ☺️ What's most important to us is that our product is valuable to someone. I'm so excited for Saturday!😁

That’s a really hard question to answer because it depends on your startup situation and what are your goals for the launch (get leads, testers, attract investors). However, based on my experience of launching multiple projects, I can confidently say that the most important thing is the product itself. Meaning that it should possess the following qualities: 1. Be 'almost' bug-free 2. Have a well-designed user onboarding process 3. Have an intuitive and user-friendly interface Everything else comes later. Hope it helps!
Emmanuel Nwosu
@nicola_vargiu Yes! This helps a lot, Nicola. Thank you!

Many people are struggling with the concept of a "perfect" product. While it's a difficult question to answer definitively, I think it's safe to say that perfection is subjective and varies from person to person. The best thing you can do as a product creator is to launch your product, listen to your users' feedback, and continue to improve upon it. As you gather more insights and data, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your users' needs and preferences. Ultimately, the goal is to create a product that meets the needs and wants of your target audience, and that's a process that takes time and iteration.

I will always make sure the customer is getting the best experience possible with what is available. So if that means removing some of the functionality for the MVP then I will and add it in later. The customer is your number 1 marketing channel!
Emmanuel Nwosu
@luke_emery I know a maker who'll never compromise core functionality for aesthetics or to achieve multi-functionality. "Never a good idea to confuse your customer on what your product actually does," he'll say. This is such a good take, Luke. Thanks!
