Why launching a collection is so important

My name is Corrado Manenti, and in 14 years of experience with emerging brands, I have seen one thing repeat itself: The first few days of launch often determine the success of an entire season..

A successful launch generates momentum: initial sales that fuel the social algorithm, reviews that build social proof, buzz that attracts new customers. A poorly executed launch means starting off on the back foot and having to play catch-up for months.

The problem is that most emerging brands simply "launch" by posting "New collection online!". No preview, no strategy. The result? Disappointing sales.

"A well-structured launch can generate in one week what you would normally do in three months. But it requires preparation."

The stages of the launch funnel

6–8 weeks before

Phase 1: Teaser

First signs that something is coming. Mysterious content, vague previews, behind the scenes. Objective: to generate curiosity.

4–6 weeks before

Stage 2: Waiting List

Landing page to collect contacts. Exclusive incentive: early access, early bird discount. Objective: build a hot list.

2–4 weeks before

Stage 3: Progressive Reveal

Gradual unveiling: inspiring themes, materials, key pieces. Storytelling that builds desire.

1 week before

Stage 4: Countdown

Intensification: daily emails, countdown on social media. Objective: maximise pre-launch excitement.

Launch Day

Stage 5: Launch

Event coordinated across all channels. Early access for those on the waiting list, then public opening.

1–2 weeks later

Stage 6: Post-Launch

Capitalise on momentum: UGC, reviews, remarketing to those who did not purchase.
