It takes about 3 to 5 years for FDA to approve any new device in the medical field. Millions of dollars are invested in the research and resources by medical device organizations before the final launch day of the product arrives. New Product Launch is a major investment for any company. A successful launch can bring revenue as well as great customers for the company. A clear launch goal has to be set to understand the objectives and identify the market for the product. Below are the factors that need to be considered in a new product launch in the Medical Device Industry.

Setting objectives

Coordinating your sales strategy with your sales reps is becoming increasingly important to organizations. It is important to set clear and measurable objectives to work with. Some key objectives while launching a new product in an innovative field such as Medical Devices are:

•    What should be the essential customer documentation?
•    How will the physicians and medical departments react to it?

New product launch is a complicated process and without a clear set of objectives it can get tedious and confusing. It is imperative to know the value proposition behind the product and its market need. The potential use of the product has a deeper influence against competitor products in the market.

Sales Strategy

You have spent years creating your product. The question that concerns is; how are you going to align your sales strategy with your launch objectives? Providing the sales team with accurate product documentation and tools is extremely imperative. A well-defined sales strategy includes:

• Creating a compelling messaging or value proposition weeks before the final launch to ensure brand awareness
• Utilizing sales connections
• Developing training material for the sales reps
• Establishing training programs and collateral for new customers
• Identifying the key channels that would work the best (e.g. direct selling, distribution, contracting models)

Companies need to identify what would work the best for their product and create effective communication with the target audience during the launch. Digital can influence everything today. Leveraging the new product launch by having a digital presence can create a big difference in the sale strategy and final execution.

Challenges

There are many challenges that the medical device companies can face while doing a new product launch. Any failure in a new product launch can cost millions of dollars to the company. Inadequate resources for the launch process, insufficient data and collateral for the sales reps, lack of communication between various units of the organization can add up to the challenges a medical device company can face while strategizing for a new product launch.
