The tech industry has taken pole position in the latest the MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance survey, with the industry seeing the largest increase in full-time job postings in business schools in the autumn of 2020. During a difficult time for both job hunters and entrepreneurs, says MBA Atch, tech ‘is the silver lining’, with various technologies – including analytics – playing a key role in a wide array of industries owing to the digitization boom. If you are keen on launching a tech product, device or service, keeping the following considerations in mind is vital.

Carrying Out Market Research

Researching your target audience in order to gain insight into product positioning, distribution and pricing is the first step to a successful launch. Aspects to look into include your competition, current market trends, and laws and licences pertaining to your product or service.

You should also create a customer profile, defined by age, location, job, interests, demands, demographics, and the like. You can then conduct various types of research using tools such as surveys, social media polls and analysis, brainstorming with people from your target market, and any external data (reports, surveys and studies) that can help you meet the needs of your potential clients.

Launching Your MVP

If your business is product-based, then launching a minimum viable product (MVP) is a key step to take in order to predict success. For instance, if you are building an app, then you can start out by building a product with core functionalities and a few important features so you can test the product out on your target audience.

An MVP allows you to glean vital information while keeping spending down, since you can add all the details that really make your product unique or appealing later in the game. The MVP should be targeted at a specific buyer persona rather than at multiple audiences.

To test your MVP, try out a prototype tool like HotJar, SecurionPay or Growbots to access a die audience and analyze how they respond to your product. Tried-and-tested means of gathering evidence from a target audience include A/B test pricing (to elicit the best price at which to sell your product), crowdfunding (to see the interest your product generates), and conducting interviews (to obtain feedback). If you have the budget for it, you can also produce and sell your MVP in a test market.

Finding Investors

Investment in your tech startup can come from a wide variety of sources. These include investment funds, angel investors and friends.  Research by Neil Patel indicates  that the type of business you choose to launch has a big impact on your likelihood of obtaining funding.

Software and hardware actually attract over half of all investments obtained from funds in the U.S. This is good news for those starting tech companies, provided they can demonstrate that their product or service is fulfilling a unique demand or forming part of a niche that can prosper.

Working On Branding

Around 86% of consumers say that authenticity is a key value they look for in the brands they support – as found in a 2019 survey by Stackla. In order to connect with your audience, everything from your name right through to your logo, colors and font choice, should be well thought out and tested for efficiency.

As outlined at  https://www.namestormers.com, simply deciding on a name can be a complicated process that involves name development, research regarding preliminary trademark and domain availability, and global linguistic screening. The latter is particularly important if you will be aiming your product or service at a global audience, or if you think you might expand into an international market in the future.

Marketing Your Business

Initial marketing strategies should be aimed at building brand awareness. You should have an attractive website and social media channels with regular, dynamic content. From the outset, you may need to expand staff or enlist the aid of staff with talents in areas such as content writing, video production and editing, and social media planning. Your initial strategies may include key alliances with social media influencers, media launches, free trials of your services, and other promotional efforts and events.

 Building a Website and Launching Social Media Channels

Successful corporate tech brands such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple all have successful websites and social media sites with large followings. Amazon, for instance, a brand that most users associated with simply buying and selling items online, has a 3.6M following on Twitter, while Apple has 6.1M.

Your website should be mobile-friendly, user-friendly, and quick to load. It should offer users a smooth navigation experience, be interactive, and bear a simple yet attractive design that is perfectly in line with your brand. Because tech-based products and services can contain complex information, audiences should be provided with information written in simple, clear language.

Social media sites, meanwhile, should be well programmed, with content provided in a consistent manner. Aspects such as videos of how to use your product, blogs, news sections and similar should be available so that audiences have a reason to tune into your channels regularly. tools like HootSuite can be used to program content across various social media platforms on specified dates and at selected times.

The tech industry continues to withstand the challenges posed by 2020. If you are starting a tech company this year, know that your likelihood of obtaining funding is far higher than if you were launching another type of business. To ensure success, conduct research, build a solid branding strategy, and market your business consistently, hiring the people you need to achieve success. Invest time and a reasonable budget in your MVP, testing it through various means – including interviews, test ales, and crowdfunding.

Give due importance to your website and social media channels, ensuring that you provide dynamic, authentically useful content that will garner you followers. Your uploads should bear text and imagery that is 100% true to your company values and essence.

They should also be frequent enough so that customers have a good reason to tune in even in the absence of marketing emails and specific calls to action. You can guarantee quality by providing study results, information, instructional videos and blogs, and the like. In order to ensure continuity, use programs that enable you to pre-program content, using additional content in a natural, organic fashion.
