What is New Product Offering?

New Product Offering is a marketing strategy that has been around since commerce began.

Every time a business introduces a new product to the marketplace, they're engaging in this tactic. Over the years, as businesses grew and diversified, they began offering multiple products to different customer segments. This led to the development of the modern idea of New Product Offering, where businesses offer an existing high-performing audience a different product that they haven't seen yet.

Implementing a New Product Offering tactic is centered around conversion, intending to hook customers into trying something new and exciting that aligns with their established interests, ultimately contributing to increased revenue. As these customers are already favorably engaged with the company, offering them new products creates opportunities for cross-selling and promoting customer loyalty. It's particularly effective due to the high chance of conversion, given that these audiences already have a trusted relationship with the brand.

Examples of New Product Offering

  1. Suppose you're Starbucks, expert in the coffee industry, and you release a new line of summer iced teas. You could then advertise these new beverages to your previously established coffee enthusiast audience as a refreshing alternative.

  2. An online clothing store introducing a new line of accessories. They could cater their campaigns on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest towards customers who have previously purchased clothing items from their shop.

  3. Google, known for its search engine utility, releasing a new software or app, like Google Docs or Google Sheets. They could showcase these applications to users who consistently use their search engine, enticing them to explore Google's other offerings.

  4. A popular video game company launching a new game within a franchise. They can target their promotional efforts towards consumers who have purchased previous games in the series.

  5. A skincare brand introducing a new range of makeup products. They could send personalized email marketing campaigns to their existing customers, tempting them to try this new venture.
