I think I have a CENTS product idea. I want to build a pre-launch marketing campaign to launch it. Any experts that can give their advice?

[jluysvi]

So me and my dad have been working on a product that is in the automotive space.

We already have a few prototypes out and the product works well but still needs to be tested to make sure it's really rock solid.

There are a few guys already doing the same thing, but the marketing is not that great and they are asking a lot of money for very little features. I don't think they've updated their products or made any new offerings in quite some time.

The product is mainly for 4x4 enthusiasts and fleet vehicle owners that have vehicles that are a little bit older and don't come with all the latest tech.

My question is if anyone has experience with doing a "pre-launch" for a product.

Basically what I'm thinking is doing a lot of organic content that shows the development of the product, videos that show it in action and then interacting with people and getting a good idea of the features that they would like.

I'm also thinking of emailing fleet owners and seeing if they have any interest and also trying to see what features would be important to them.

Through the organic content and some paid ads I want to slowly build up an email list of people that are engaged and giving their feedback and getting people excited about the launch.

This is not drop-shipping at all in case anyone is wondering. We develop everything ourselves, the manufacturing is just outsourced, but we can do that at many different places.

It's a very niche product, but that's good in my opinion.

Thoughts?
