How to respectfully promote right now: address the concerns for safety  address concerns about immunity  use testimonials of people just like your most reluctant members and clients   be open and honest about your concerns and the actions you're taking  Planning a Launch A launch has multiple parts. The mistake most fitness professionals make is waiting until a program goes on sale to think of marketing it. But the bigger the price tag the longer the runway should be.  There's a pre-launch - that's the period of time when you haven't yet opened the cart (made it for sale) and you begin to tease it.  First there's the subtle launch when you're considering what your customer needs to be thinking and feeling in order to buy. What do they need to know. Then there's the more direct pre-launch where you let them know you're: working on something special excited about something new When you launch: the cart is open you're sending frequent emails posts and lives are happening daily  there's urgency  you could use bonuses that disappear When you close, it's firm. They have to trust you and word travels fast when you don't honor deadlines.  Need help finding the right words for your promotional emails, posts, pages, headlines and subject lines?
