Fintech Product Marketer with a GM mindset, driving amazing customer outcomes and profitable growth | Product Marketing @ Q4 #viewsaremyown
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “launch” before the product is ready, you appreciate this post from Coda. They just announced Coda Brain, the second step in their new partnership with Snowflake. What I like about this blog post is that it clearly communicates the “vision” for their new product - not necessarily that these are the exact features. Overall it’s a well-executed pre-launch that I suspect will get a lot of waitlist signups. If you find this example helpful, check out hundreds more awesome PMM examples at PMM Files!

Maybe a spicy take, but I kind of hate waitlists... If your product doesn't do the thing you are talking about, come back to me when it does. (exception = pre-launch companies - they get special treatment) As a marketer, I think there is a difference between saying a capability is "coming soon" or, better yet, at a specific time. To remove barriers to purchase. Vs marketing your product vision. Save that for the buyer, once you have trust, not the early stages of the funnel. Usually (in my experience), these types of waitlist signups go stale. You nurture them until the product is ready, which I've seen turn into a leaky funnel. Looks great for the board, investors, and thought leaders though. So if that's the goal, I see the value.
